Turbo: Caching and Task Pipelines
Define a turbo.json pipeline, configure task dependencies with dependsOn, enable remote caching to share cached outputs across machines.
Turborepo Recap
Turborepo (now just Turbo) is the high-performance build orchestrator for JavaScript monorepos. It runs tasks across packages in parallel, caches outputs by hash, and skips work when inputs haven't changed.
Why Caching Matters
In a monorepo with 20 packages, running 'test' on every push is expensive. If only one package changed, Turbo reruns its test and replays cached output for the other 19 — turning minutes into seconds.
