Turborepo Has a Free Build System That Makes Monorepos 10x Faster

Running npm run build in a monorepo builds everything — even unchanged packages. Turborepo caches builds intelligently and runs tasks in parallel, cutting CI time from 30 minutes to 3. What Turborepo Gives You for Free Remote caching — share build cache across your team and CI Parallel execution — build independent packages simultaneously Task pipelines — define dependencies between tasks Incremental builds — only rebuild what changed Pruned subsets — deploy only the packages you need Watch mode — efficient development across packages Quick Start npx create-turbo@latest Configuration (turbo.json) { "tasks" : { "build" : { "dependsOn" : [ "^build" ], "outputs" : [ "dist/**" , ".next/**" ] }, "test" : { "dependsOn" : [ "build" ] }, "lint" : {}, "dev" : { "cache" : false , "persistent" : true } } } ^build means: build dependencies FIRST, then build this package.
