SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo coordinates and caches tasks across a JavaScript/TypeScript monorepo, enabling parallel execution and reliable outputs for large codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-package tasks enable parallel execution across apps and libraries.
  • Dependency-aware hashing and caching optimize CI and local development.
  • Package Configurations and root turbo.json orchestration support complex pipelines, selective task runs, and remote caching.

Quick Start

Create per-package tasks, wire them in each package's package.json and the root turbo.json, then run turbo run build --affected to validate the workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about turborepo

FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up CI builds in a JavaScript monorepo?

To speed up CI builds in a JavaScript monorepo, configure a task graph to coordinate parallel execution and cache outputs. This reduces redundant processing by running tasks concurrently and skipping unchanged work.

What is build caching and how does it work for monorepos?

Build caching for monorepos works by hashing task inputs and dependencies to generate a unique key. If the hash matches a previous run, the system restores cached outputs instead of re-executing the task.

How do I configure task dependencies across packages in a monorepo?

You configure task dependencies across monorepo packages by defining scripts in each package.json and orchestrating them in the root turbo.json. Settings like dependsOn ensure tasks execute in the correct sequence.

Can I use remote caching for monorepo CI pipelines?

Yes, you can use remote caching for monorepo CI pipelines. Remote caching shares build outputs across different machines and environments, ensuring consistent results and faster CI times.

Does Turborepo support selective task runs for affected packages?

Yes, Turborepo supports selective task runs for affected packages. You can execute commands like turbo run build --affected to run tasks only on packages impacted by recent changes.

What is the best way to manage scalable builds in a TypeScript monorepo?

The best way to manage scalable builds in a TypeScript monorepo is using a dependency graph to orchestrate tasks. This approach enables deterministic builds and scalable caching, handling complex pipelines efficiently.
