SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo provides a high-performance build system for JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos, delivering fast builds and scalable task orchestration through intelligent caching and remote execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Monorepo architecture with workspaces that centralize dependencies and tooling.
  • Task pipeline that defines and orders build, test, lint, and deploy steps with dependency awareness.
  • Intelligent caching (local and remote) to dramatically reduce repeat work across teams and CI.
  • Project setup and optimization patterns for migrating from Lerna, Nx, or similar tools, enabling faster delivery.

Quick Start

Initialize a Turborepo workspace and run turbo run build to verify your setup.

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

To speed up builds in a JavaScript monorepo, use a high-performance build system that caches outputs and orchestrates tasks. This approach reduces repeat work by caching build, test, and lint steps across local development and CI/CD environments.

What is the best way to migrate from Lerna or Nx to a faster build system?▼

Migrating from Lerna or Nx to a faster build system involves adopting a tool that centralizes workspace dependencies and defines task dependencies in a configuration file. This provides intelligent caching and remote execution to enable faster delivery compared to previous setups.

How do I configure task dependencies for a monorepo workspace?▼

To configure task dependencies for a monorepo workspace, define build, test, lint, and deploy steps in a turbo.json file. This configuration orchestrates cross-package task dependencies with awareness of the execution order.

Does remote caching work for CI/CD pipelines requiring deterministic builds?▼

Remote caching works for CI/CD pipelines requiring deterministic builds by storing and reusing cached outputs across teams. This reduces repeat work and ensures consistent task orchestration across continuous integration environments.

Can I use Turborepo for large TypeScript monorepos?▼

You can use Turborepo for large TypeScript monorepos to coordinate builds across multi-package repositories. It applies intelligent caching and task pipelines to optimize workspace configuration and scalable task orchestration.

Why are my monorepo build times still slow after setting up workspaces?▼

Monorepo build times may remain slow if task pipelines lack proper caching and dependency awareness. Defining cross-package task dependencies in turbo.json enables intelligent local and remote caching to eliminate redundant work.
