Configure Turborepo for efficient monorepo builds with task pipelines, remote caching, and proper package dependencies. **CRITICAL: Always fetch Turborepo documentation for current configuration.**

**turbo.json:**

{
  "$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
  "tasks": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**"]
    },
    "test": {
      "dependsOn": ["build"],
      "outputs": []
    },
    "lint": {
      "outputs": []
    },
    "dev": {
      "cache": false,
      "persistent": true
    }
  }
}

Key concepts:

^build - Run build in dependencies first
outputs - Files to cache
inputs - Files that affect cache key
cache: false - Disable caching for dev tasks
persistent: true - Long-running tasks

**Build pipeline:**

{
  "tasks": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["dist/**"],
      "inputs": ["src/**", "package.json", "tsconfig.json"]
    }
  }
}

Test after build:

{
  "tasks": {
    "test": {
      "dependsOn": ["build"],
      "outputs": ["coverage/**"]
    }
  }
}

Parallel independent tasks:

{
  "tasks": {
    "lint": {
      "outputs": []
    },
    "typecheck": {
      "outputs": []
    }
  }
}

```bash turbo build # Build all packages turbo build --filter=@org/app # Build specific package turbo build --filter=./apps/* # Build apps only turbo build --filter=...@org/lib # Package and dependents turbo build --force # Ignore cache turbo build --dry-run # Preview what will run ``` **Required:** - Define `outputs` for cacheable tasks - Use `^` prefix for dependency ordering - Set `cache: false` for dev tasks - Use `persistent: true` for long-running tasks

Best practices:

Keep inputs specific to avoid cache misses
Use workspace filters for targeted builds
Enable remote caching for CI

- [ ] Context7 docs fetched for current config - [ ] Tasks have proper `dependsOn` - [ ] `outputs` defined for cacheable tasks - [ ] Dev tasks have `cache: false` - [ ] Pipeline is efficient (parallel where possible)
