Turborepo Remote Cache Setup with Railpack

Hi, I'm using Railpack to deploy a Turborepo monorepo on Railway. How can I configure Turborepo's remote cache? Specifically: - What should I set for TURBO_API_URL? - Does Railway provide a native caching solution for Turborepo? - Should I deploy a separate cache server (like turborepo-remote-cache)? Looking to improve build times similar to Vercel's Turborepo integration. Thanks!

Hey, it totally depends on how you want to proceed. If you want to use Vercel's remote cache, simply follow their documentation:

https://vercel.com/docs/monorepos/remote-caching#use-remote-caching-from-external-ci/cd

If you prefer to contain the cache within Railway, you'll need to deploy a template, as Railway doesn't natively cache Turborepo:

https://railway.com/deploy/tRFTHR

Regarding the TURBO_API_URL, the template description instructs you to retrieve it from its own service environment variables after you deploy it and then set it in your Turborepo service. If you have any questions about either option, please let us know!
