SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo helps teams overcome slow builds in large monorepos by caching task outputs and orchestrating parallel execution across packages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-package tasks for parallel execution and precise caching across apps and libraries
  • Package configurations to tailor framework outputs and dependencies close to code
  • CI-friendly, supports affected builds, and advanced filtering to only run what changed

Quick Start

Install Turborepo in your monorepo, convert root tasks to per-package scripts, and declare a root turbo.json to orchestrate tasks; then run turbo run build to validate the workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up slow builds in a large monorepo?

To scale monorepos, coordinate builds by caching task outputs and orchestrating parallel execution across packages. This approach uses a task graph and selective execution to improve CI pipeline throughput.

How do I configure per-package tasks for parallel execution in a monorepo?

Convert root scripts to per-package scripts and declare a root turbo.json file to orchestrate tasks. This setup tailors framework outputs and dependencies close to the code for precise caching.

Can I run only the tasks that changed in my CI pipeline?

Yes, you can run only what changed by using affected builds and advanced filtering. This CI-friendly feature ensures selective execution, skipping unaffected packages to save time and resources.

What is the best way to orchestrate tasks across multiple packages?

The best way to orchestrate tasks across multiple packages is to use a task graph for parallel execution and precise caching. This method accelerates builds by intelligently managing dependencies and outputs.

How does task caching work for monorepo builds?

Task caching stores the outputs of completed package tasks so they can be reused later. When you run a build, the system checks the cache first, skipping redundant work and accelerating the overall build process.

Do I need a specific package manager to use Turborepo?

Turborepo integrates into your existing monorepo setup by using a root turbo.json file to orchestrate tasks. It works with your current package configurations to manage dependencies and framework outputs.
