Turborepo Caching

Handles Turborepo configuration from basic pipeline setup through remote caching and CI integration. You get templates for turbo.json with proper dependency chains, output caching, and environment variable handling, plus examples for both Vercel's hosted cache and self-hosted implementations. The filtering patterns are genuinely useful if you're working with selective builds in CI or local dev. Covers the common gotchas like cache invalidation inputs and the difference between caret dependencies for topological ordering. If you're moving to Turborepo or debugging why your monorepo builds are slower than they should be, this gives you the actual patterns without having to piece together the docs.
