use turborepo

[threepointone]

Would turborepo make our builds faster? Would be interesting to try

[petebacondarwin]

"Monorepos that make ship happen." LOL!

[petebacondarwin]

That looks interesting...

[GregBrimble]

https://nx.dev/ is another option

[petebacondarwin]

Yes!

But let's make sure we avoid https://bazel.build/ for now! (Not that it isn't great, but it would consume all our resources to implement and maintain, and would not be much benefit for a project of this size.)

I've had very bad experiences with nx myself.

[JacobMGEvans]

I am a big fan of turborepo.

[JacobMGEvans]

We should revisit this conversation.

[threepointone]

I noticed that our node_modules caching in CI doesn't even work properly, and we're reinstalling all npm deps every single time. Let's fix that first.

@JacobMGEvans - if you would like to move this forward, could you set out the specific benefits of how turborepo would speed up our builds? Right now, we only really have one significant package (the wrangler package) which takes very little time to build. I am not sure where we would improve the speed here?

When I get back I will follow up with this, since it's moved to discussions

[JacobMGEvans]

I can write up something. To clarify I don't think it would have any major initial benefits now, I think it should be implemented now before the monorepo grows and we are maintaining/creating our own custom setup. In the long run I think it will have major benefits which again I will outline in the write-up; I will share the document here.
