Build Caching and Affected-Only Builds

Keep monorepo CI fast as it grows: use task graphs, computation caching, and affected-project detection to build and test only what changed.

The Scaling Wall

As a monorepo grows, rebuilding and retesting everything on every commit becomes painfully slow.

The fix is to only do work that the change actually requires, and to cache results that have not changed.

The Project Dependency Graph

Monorepo tools build a graph of how projects depend on each other. This graph tells the tool what is downstream of any change.
