Turborepo Demo and Walkthrough (High-Performance Monorepos)

Turborepo is a high-performance build system for JavaScript and TypeScript codebases. This demo shows how to set up your first Turborepo, intelligently cache build outputs, enable remote caching through Vercel, and achieve optimal performance with your monorepo. 0:00 – Introduction / Announcement 1:10 – Jared Palmer / Turborepo Background 3:45 – Overview 4:13 – Demo 7:29 – Monorepos 9:10 – Turborepo 14:47 – Dependency graph generation 15:30 – Task Graph Pipeline 18:19 – Profiling in Chrome 22:49 – Remote Caching 29:00 – Q&A 29:10 – Where can you store the remote cache? 31:36 – Can Turborepo help improve things like GitHub Actions for CI/CD or a Heroku build in production environments? 32:11 – Are the tasks all running in parallel inside one process? 32:42 – Does Turborepo allow you to do incremental compilation or ‘watch mode’ compilation of multiple multiple local typescript packages? 34:02 – Will it fail gracefully if it can’t access remote cache (builds locally)? 34:17 – How does caching work if node_modules contain different artifacts (e.g.: Sharp for Linux & Widows would be different). But the source (lock file) will have the same fingerprint? 36:19 – How do you prevent security issues with people uploading malicious build results? 37:36 – Does Turborepo cache entire workspaces; or can it also cache individual files? 38:11 – How do you share UI if there are different frameworks in your other projects? 39:06 – How is the loss of internet connection handled on the client when running tasks in a Turborepo that has remote cache enabled? 39:13 – What is the ideal architecture of monorepos — how would you structure having multiple packages, or multiple pieces of your larger frontend? 41:07 – What are some of the big advantages of Turborepo (vs other monorepo systems and how you’ve designed it? 43:06 – If I’m using another tool, like Lerna, it’s essentially 20 lines of code and a few minutes and you can incrementally bring it into your codebase? 44:35 – Will Turborepo adopt pnpm and do you recommend that tool as well? 45:55 – Can you have a Turborepo inside of a Turborepo so that each of my giant app ecosystems is a Turborepo inside a Turborepo? 47:12 – In an enterprise with developers of different skill sets — how easy is this to adopt? What is the learning curve? 48:08 – What’s next / We’re hiring! ◆ Try Turborepo: https://turborepo.org ◆ Vercel Acquires Turborepo: https://vercel.com/blog/vercel-acquir... ◆ Deploy Turborepo to Vercel: https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/git/... #turborepo #monorepo
