# Agent Guidelines for Langfuse
This is the canonical root agent guide for the repo. The root `AGENTS.md`
should remain only as a discovery symlink so tools that require that filename
continue to work while `.agents/` stays the source of truth.
Langfuse is an open source LLM engineering platform for developing, monitoring,
evaluating, and debugging AI applications.
## Maintenance Contract
- `AGENTS.md` is a living document.
- Keep this file concise and router-like. Push narrow or conditional workflows
into package-local `AGENTS.md` files or shared skills under `skills/`.
- Update this file in the same PR when monorepo-level architecture, workflows,
dependency boundaries, mandatory verification commands, or release/security
processes materially change.
- Update this file and the relevant shared skills when user feedback introduces
a durable repo-level default for future agents. Do not edit this file for
one-off task preferences.
- For package-local material changes, update the nearest package `AGENTS.md` in
the same PR.
## Start Here By Task
- Repo-wide agent setup, `.agents/**`, provider shims, or MCP/bootstrap config:
[`README.md`](README.md),
[`skills/agent-setup-maintenance/SKILL.md`](skills/agent-setup-maintenance/SKILL.md)
- Backend/API work in `web/src/server/**`, `web/src/pages/api/public/**`,
`worker/src/**`, or `packages/shared/src/**`:
[`skills/backend-dev-guidelines/SKILL.md`](skills/backend-dev-guidelines/SKILL.md)
- Model pricing work in `worker/src/constants/default-model-prices.json`,
`packages/shared/src/server/llm/types.ts`, or related pricing files:
[`skills/add-model-price/SKILL.md`](skills/add-model-price/SKILL.md)
- Code review tasks:
[`skills/code-review/SKILL.md`](skills/code-review/SKILL.md)
- Changelog drafting for completed feature branches:
[`skills/changelog-writing/SKILL.md`](skills/changelog-writing/SKILL.md)
- ClickHouse schema/query review:
[`skills/clickhouse-best-practices/SKILL.md`](skills/clickhouse-best-practices/SKILL.md)
- Monorepo/Turbo task graph changes:
[`skills/turborepo/SKILL.md`](skills/turborepo/SKILL.md)
- User-visible frontend changes, Playwright review, or browser signoff:
[`skills/frontend-browser-review/SKILL.md`](skills/frontend-browser-review/SKILL.md)
- Web UI and frontend entry points:
`../web/AGENTS.md`
- Worker queues and processors:
`../worker/AGENTS.md`
- Shared contracts, exports, schema, and migrations:
`../packages/shared/AGENTS.md`
- EE-only work:
`../ee/AGENTS.md`
Read the minimal set required for the task. More-specific package guides and
shared skills take precedence over this root file for their scoped areas.
## Project Structure
```text
langfuse/
├─ web/ # Next.js app (UI + tRPC + public REST)
├─ worker/ # Queue consumers and background processing
├─ packages/shared/ # Shared domain, DB, queue contracts, repositories
├─ ee/ # Enterprise package consumed by web
├─ generated/ # Generated API clients (do not hand-edit)
├─ fern/ # API definition sources
└─ scripts/ # Repo scripts
```
- Dependency direction:
- `web` -> `@langfuse/shared`, `@langfuse/ee`
- `worker` -> `@langfuse/shared`
- `@langfuse/ee` -> `@langfuse/shared`
- `@langfuse/shared` -> no imports from `web`, `worker`, or `ee`
- Queue payload schemas and queue-name contracts are owned by
`packages/shared/src/server/queues.ts`.
- High-signal shared entry points:
- Domain models: `packages/shared/src/domain/{observations,traces,scores}.ts`
- Postgres schema: `packages/shared/prisma/schema.prisma`
- ClickHouse migrations:
`packages/shared/clickhouse/migrations/{clustered,unclustered}/*.sql`
- Architecture handbook:
[langfuse.com/handbook/product-engineering/architecture](https://langfuse.com/handbook/product-engineering/architecture)
with source markdown in
`../langfuse-docs/content/handbook/product-engineering/architecture.mdx`
## Core Commands
- Install deps: `pnpm install`
- Dev all packages: `pnpm run dev`
- Dev web only: `pnpm run dev:web`
- Dev worker only: `pnpm run dev:worker`
- Lint all: `pnpm run lint`
- Typecheck all: `pnpm run typecheck` / `pnpm tc`
- Build check: `pnpm run build:check`
- Full build: `pnpm run build`
- Full reset/bootstrap (destructive): `pnpm run dx`
- Codex environment bootstrap: `bash scripts/codex/setup.sh`
- Codex environment maintenance: `bash scripts/codex/maintenance.sh`
- Install Playwright Chromium for agent browser review: `pnpm run playwright:install`
Minimum verification matrix:
| Change scope | Minimum verification |
| --- | --- |
| `web/**` only | `pnpm --filter web run lint` + targeted web tests |
| `worker/**` only | `pnpm --filter worker run lint` + targeted worker tests |
| `packages/shared/**` (non-schema) | `pnpm --filter @langfuse/shared run lint` + one targeted web check + one targeted worker check |
| `packages/shared/prisma/**` or `packages/shared/clickhouse/**` | `pnpm --filter @langfuse/shared run lint` + `pnpm run db:generate` + targeted web/worker regressions |
| Public API contract (`web/src/pages/api/public/**`, `web/src/features/public-api/types/**`, `fern/apis/**`) | web lint + targeted server API tests + Fern update/regeneration; never hand-edit `generated/**` |
| Cross-package refactor (`web` + `worker` + `shared`) | `pnpm run lint` + `pnpm run typecheck` + targeted tests per impacted package |
## Repo Rules
- Keep changes scoped; avoid unrelated refactors.
- Prefer package-local implementation details in package `AGENTS.md` files.
- Do not hand-edit generated/build artifacts:
- `generated/*`
- `web/.next/*`
- `web/.next-check/*`
- `*/dist/*`
- `packages/shared/prisma/generated/*`
- Public API contract changes must update Fern sources in `fern/apis/**` and
regenerated outputs; never hand-edit `generated/**`.
- Keep tests independent and parallel-safe.
- For bug fixes, write the failing test first, confirm it fails, then fix the
bug.
- For user-visible frontend changes in `web/**`, review the affected flow in a
real browser with the Playwright MCP server before signoff. Use
`skills/frontend-browser-review/SKILL.md` and `../web/AGENTS.md` for the
browser-review loop.
- Never commit secrets or credentials. Keep `.env*.example` files in sync with
required env vars.
## Shared Agent Setup
- `.agents/AGENTS.md` is the canonical root guide.
- Root `AGENTS.md` is a symlink to `.agents/AGENTS.md`.
- Root `CLAUDE.md` is a compatibility symlink to `AGENTS.md`.
- Shared agent/tool config lives in `config.json` and shared skills live in
`skills/`.
- Project-scoped provider discovery files are generated local artifacts. Edit
the canonical files under `.agents/` instead of editing generated tool
directories by hand.
- If you change `.agents/config.json`, `skills/**`, or the shim-generation
workflow, run:
- `pnpm run agents:sync`
- `pnpm run agents:check`
- Do not commit generated provider config or shim outputs under `.claude/`,
`.cursor/`, `.codex/`, `.vscode/`, or `.mcp.json`.
- Durable cross-tool guidance belongs in root/package `AGENTS.md` files or
`skills/**`, not only in tool-specific config directories.
## Commit, PR, and Release Rules
- Commit messages and PR titles must follow Conventional Commits:
`type(scope): description` or `type: description`.
- PR titles are validated by `.github/workflows/validate-pr-title.yml`.
- In PR descriptions, list impacted packages and executed verification commands.
- Release workflow is managed at root with `pnpm run release`.
- Promote `main` to `production` via
`.github/workflows/promote-main-to-production.yml` or
`pnpm run release:cloud`.
- Do not change release/versioning flow without updating this file and impacted
package guides.
## Git and Tooling Notes
- Use `gh search issues` for GitHub issue search.
- Do not use destructive git commands such as `reset --hard` unless explicitly
requested.
- Do not revert unrelated working-tree changes.
- Keep commits focused and atomic.
- Remaining `.cursor/rules/*.mdc` files should stay thin wrappers around shared
docs or skills rather than owning durable repo guidance directly.

# Shared Agent Setup
This directory is the neutral, repo-owned source of truth for agent behavior in
Langfuse.
Use `.agents/` for configuration and guidance that should apply across tools.
Do not put durable shared guidance only in `.claude/`, `.codex/`, `.cursor/`,
or `.vscode/`.
## Layout
- `AGENTS.md`: canonical shared root instructions
- `config.json`: shared bootstrap and MCP configuration used to generate
tool-specific shims
- `skills/`: shared, tool-neutral implementation guidance for recurring
workflows
## `config.json`
`.agents/config.json` contains four kinds of data:
- `shared`: defaults used across tools
- `mcpServers`: project MCP servers and how to connect to them
- `claude`: Claude-specific generated settings inputs
- `codex`: Codex-specific generated settings inputs
- `cursor`: Cursor-specific generated settings inputs
Current shape:
```json
{
"shared": {
"setupScript": "bash scripts/codex/setup.sh",
"devCommand": "pnpm run dev",
"devTerminalDescription": "Main development terminal running the development server"
},
"mcpServers": {
"playwright": {
"transport": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@playwright/mcp@latest"]
},
"datadog": {
"transport": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.datadoghq.com/api/unstable/mcp-server/mcp"
}
},
"claude": {
"settings": {}
},
"codex": {
"environment": {
"version": 1,
"name": "langfuse"
}
},
"cursor": {
"environment": {
"agentCanUpdateSnapshot": false
}
}
}
```
## How Shims Are Generated
`scripts/agents/sync-agent-shims.mjs` reads `.agents/config.json` and writes the
tool discovery files that those products require.
Generated local artifacts:
- `.claude/settings.json`
- `.claude/skills/*`
- `.cursor/environment.json`
- `.cursor/mcp.json`
- `.vscode/mcp.json`
- `.mcp.json`
- `.codex/config.toml`
- `.codex/environments/environment.toml`
The repo root discovery files remain committed as symlinks:
- `AGENTS.md` -> `.agents/AGENTS.md`
- `CLAUDE.md` -> `AGENTS.md`
This keeps provider discovery stable while `.agents/` remains the source of
truth.
## When To Edit `config.json`
Edit `.agents/config.json` when you need to:
- add, remove, or update a shared MCP server
- change the shared setup/bootstrap command
- change the default dev command or terminal label used by generated shims
- adjust generated Claude, Cursor, or Codex settings that are intentionally
modeled in the shared config
Do not edit generated shim files by hand. Edit the canonical files in
`.agents/` instead.
## How To Extend `config.json`
### Add an MCP server
Add a new entry under `mcpServers`.
For `stdio` servers:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"example": {
"transport": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "some-package"]
}
}
}
```
For HTTP servers:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"example": {
"transport": "http",
"url": "https://example.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
Optional fields:
- `env` for `stdio` servers
- `headers` for HTTP servers
### Change bootstrap or default dev command
Update values in `shared`:
- `setupScript`
- `devCommand`
- `devTerminalDescription`
### Add tool-specific generated inputs
Only add tool-specific fields when they are required to generate a discovery
file for a supported tool. Keep the shared config minimal and neutral.
## Workflow
After editing `.agents/config.json`:
1. Run `pnpm run agents:sync`
2. Run `pnpm run agents:check`
3. Verify you did not stage any generated files under `.claude/skills/` or the
generated MCP/runtime config paths
4. Update `AGENTS.md` or `CONTRIBUTING.md` if the shared workflow materially
changed
`pnpm install` also runs the sync/check flow via `postinstall`.
## Adding Shared Skills
Shared skills live under `.agents/skills/`.
Use them for durable, reusable guidance such as:
- backend implementation patterns
- provider-specific maintenance workflows
- repeated repo-specific review checklists
Do not use skills for one-off task notes or tool runtime configuration.
`pnpm run agents:sync` projects the shared skills into `.claude/skills/` so
Claude can discover the same repo-owned skills.
For the skill authoring workflow, see [skills/README.md](skills/README.md).

# Shared Skills
Shared repo skills for any coding agent working in Langfuse.
Use these from `AGENTS.md`. Claude Code reaches the same shared instructions via
the root `CLAUDE.md` compatibility symlink. Shared skills should stay focused on
reusable implementation guidance rather than runtime automation.
For the shared agent config and generated shim model, start with
[`../README.md`](../README.md).
Claude discovers these shared skills through symlinks under `.claude/skills/`.
Those discovery links are created and verified by `pnpm run agents:sync` and
`pnpm run agents:check`.
Shared skills should use progressive disclosure:
- `SKILL.md` is the short entrypoint with trigger guidance and navigation.
- `AGENTS.md` is optional and should stay concise when it exists.
- `references/` holds focused prose references that agents should open only
when the task needs them.
- `scripts/` holds deterministic helpers for repetitive or fragile steps.
## Available Skills

Use for:
- `.agents/config.json`, `.agents/AGENTS.md`, or `.agents/README.md`

## Adding a New Shared Skill
1. Codex may create or refine shared skills under `.agents/skills/` when a
repo-specific workflow becomes repeated enough to justify durable guidance.
2. Create a concise `.agents/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`.
3. Add `.agents/skills/<skill-name>/AGENTS.md` only when the skill benefits
from a short router or checklist on top of `SKILL.md`.
4. Prefer `references/` for detailed prose and `scripts/` for deterministic
execution helpers.
5. Keep the skill tightly scoped to one domain or workflow.
6. Link the skill from `AGENTS.md` if it is relevant across the repo.
7. Run `pnpm run agents:sync` and `pnpm run agents:check` so Claude's projected
`.claude/skills/` view stays in sync.
8. Update `AGENTS.md` or package-local `AGENTS.md` if the new skill changes the
default reusable workflow for future agents.
9. Run the relevant verification for the package or workflow the skill affects.
## Skill Design Rules
- Keep the skill tool-neutral.
- Use `SKILL.md` as the short entrypoint, not the full knowledge dump.
- Prefer `references/` for deeper docs and `scripts/` for deterministic helpers.
- Avoid copying large sections of repo docs into the skill when a stable link is
enough.
- If the skill is web- or package-specific, link the nearest package
`AGENTS.md` or package docs instead of restating them.

# Add Model Price
Guide for adding or updating model pricing entries in Langfuse. Use this when
editing `worker/src/constants/default-model-prices.json`,
`packages/shared/src/server/llm/types.ts`, model `matchPattern` values,
tokenizer IDs, or pricing tiers.
## Purpose
This guide keeps model pricing changes consistent across providers and runtime
surfaces so Langfuse can calculate token costs accurately.
## How to Use This Skill
1. Read [references/schema-and-tiers.md](references/schema-and-tiers.md) for
the JSON shape and pricing-tier rules.
2. Read
[references/provider-sources-and-price-keys.md](references/provider-sources-and-price-keys.md)
for official pricing URLs, per-token conversion, and provider-specific usage
keys.
3. Read [references/match-patterns.md](references/match-patterns.md) when you
need to add or expand regex coverage.
4. Read
[references/workflow-and-validation.md](references/workflow-and-validation.md)
for the end-to-end edit workflow, validation rules, and common mistakes.
## Deterministic Helpers
- Validate the pricing file:
`node .agents/skills/add-model-price/scripts/validate-pricing-file.mjs`
- Test a regex directly:
`node .agents/skills/add-model-price/scripts/test-match-pattern.mjs --pattern '(?i)^(openai/)?(gpt-4o)$' --accept gpt-4o openai/gpt-4o --reject gpt-4o-mini`
- Test the regex for an existing model entry:
`node .agents/skills/add-model-price/scripts/test-match-pattern.mjs --model gpt-4o --accept gpt-4o openai/gpt-4o --reject gpt-4o-mini`
## Quick Start Checklist
### Adding a New Model
- [ ] Gather official pricing from the provider documentation
- [ ] Generate a lowercase UUID for the model entry
- [ ] Create a `matchPattern` that covers supported provider formats
- [ ] Add at least one default pricing tier
- [ ] Insert the pricing entry into
`worker/src/constants/default-model-prices.json`
- [ ] Update `packages/shared/src/server/llm/types.ts` if the model should be
selectable in playground or evaluation flows
- [ ] Validate the JSON after editing
### Updating an Existing Model
- [ ] Update the relevant prices, keys, tiers, or regexes
- [ ] Refresh `updatedAt` to today's ISO-8601 timestamp
- [ ] Validate the JSON after editing
## Target Files
- Pricing data:
`worker/src/constants/default-model-prices.json`
- Shared model types:
`packages/shared/src/server/llm/types.ts`
- Validation logic:
`packages/shared/src/features/model-pricing/validation.ts`
- Matching logic:
`packages/shared/src/server/pricing-tiers/matcher.ts`
- Tests:
`worker/src/__tests__/pricing-tier-matcher.test.ts`
## Data Structure
### Complete Model Entry Schema
```json
{
"id": "uuid-generated-with-uuidgen",
"modelName": "model-name-identifier",
"matchPattern": "(?i)^regex-pattern$",
"createdAt": "ISO-8601-timestamp",
"updatedAt": "ISO-8601-timestamp",
"tokenizerConfig": null,
"tokenizerId": "claude|openai|null",
"pricingTiers": [
{
"id": "model-uuid_tier_default",
"name": "Standard",
"isDefault": true,
"priority": 0,
"conditions": [],
"prices": {
"input": 0.000005,
"output": 0.000025
}
}
]
}
```
### Required Fields
| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string | Unique lowercase UUID |
| `modelName` | string | Primary model identifier |
| `matchPattern` | string | Regex for matching model names |
| `createdAt` | string | ISO-8601 timestamp set on creation |
| `updatedAt` | string | ISO-8601 timestamp refreshed whenever the entry changes |
| `pricingTiers` | array | At least one pricing tier |
### Optional Fields
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `tokenizerId` | string | `null` | `"claude"`, `"openai"`, or `null` |
| `tokenizerConfig` | object | `null` | Custom tokenizer settings |
## Pricing Tier Structure
### Default Tier
Every model must have exactly one default tier:
```json
{
"id": "{model-id}_tier_default",
"name": "Standard",
"isDefault": true,
"priority": 0,
"conditions": [],
"prices": {}
}
```
Rules for the default tier:
- `isDefault` must be `true`
- `priority` must be `0`
- `conditions` must be `[]`
### Additional Tiers
Use extra tiers for context-window or usage-based pricing:
```json
{
"id": "uuid-for-tier",
"name": "Large Context (>200K)",
"isDefault": false,
"priority": 1,
"conditions": [
{
"usageDetailPattern": "(input|prompt|cached)",
"operator": "gt",
"value": 200000,
"caseSensitive": false
}
],
"prices": {}
}
```
Supported condition operators: `gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`, `eq`, `neq`
## Official Pricing Sources
Always fetch pricing from the provider's official docs before editing. Do not
infer or estimate missing values.
| Provider | Source |
| --- | --- |
| Anthropic Claude | `https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing` |
| OpenAI | `https://openai.com/api/pricing/` |
| Google Gemini | `https://ai.google.dev/pricing` |
| AWS Bedrock | `https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing/` |
| Azure OpenAI | `https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/cognitive-services/openai-service/` |
Gather:
1. Base input token price per million tokens
2. Output token price per million tokens
3. Cache write price when supported
4. Cache read price when supported
5. Any long-context pricing tiers
6. All model ID formats that Langfuse should match
## Price Conversion
Values in `default-model-prices.json` are per token, not per million tokens.
| Provider Price | JSON Value |
| --- | --- |
| `$5 / MTok` | `5e-6` |
| `$25 / MTok` | `25e-6` |
| `$0.50 / MTok` | `0.5e-6` |
| `$6.25 / MTok` | `6.25e-6` |
Formula:
```text
price_per_token = price_per_mtok / 1_000_000
```
## Common Price Keys by Provider
### Anthropic Claude Models
```json
{
"input": "<base_input_price>",
"input_tokens": "<base_input_price>",
"output": "<output_price>",
"output_tokens": "<output_price>",
"cache_creation_input_tokens": "<cache_write_price>",
"input_cache_creation": "<cache_write_price>",
"cache_read_input_tokens": "<cache_read_price>",
"input_cache_read": "<cache_read_price>"
}
```
### OpenAI Models
```json
{
"input": "<input_price>",
"input_cached_tokens": "<cached_input_price>",
"input_cache_read": "<cached_input_price>",
"output": "<output_price>"
}
```
### Google Gemini Models
```json
{
"input": "<input_price>",
"input_modality_1": "<input_price>",
"prompt_token_count": "<input_price>",
"promptTokenCount": "<input_price>",
"input_cached_tokens": "<cached_price>",
"cached_content_token_count": "<cached_price>",
"output": "<output_price>",
"output_modality_1": "<output_price>",
"candidates_token_count": "<output_price>",
"candidatesTokenCount": "<output_price>"
}
```
## Match Pattern Examples
### Anthropic Claude: API + Bedrock + Vertex
```regex
(?i)^(anthropic\/)?(claude-opus-4-6|(eu\\.|us\\.|apac\\.)?anthropic\\.claude-opus-4-6-v1(:0)?|claude-opus-4-6)$
```
Matches:
- `claude-opus-4-6`
- `anthropic/claude-opus-4-6`
- `anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1:0`
- `us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1:0`
- `claude-opus-4-6`
### With Version Date
```regex
(?i)^(anthropic\/)?(claude-opus-4-5-20251101|(eu\\.|us\\.|apac\\.)?anthropic\\.claude-opus-4-5-20251101-v1:0|claude-opus-4-5@20251101)$
```
### OpenAI
```regex
(?i)^(openai\/)?(gpt-4o)$
```
### Google Gemini
```regex
(?i)^(google\/)?(gemini-2.5-pro)$
```
### Pattern Components
| Component | Purpose | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `(?i)` | Case-insensitive match | `gpt-4o` and `GPT-4O` |
| `^...$` | Full-string match | Avoids partial matches |
| `(provider\/)?` | Optional provider prefix | `openai/gpt-4o` |
| `(eu\\.|us\\.|apac\\.)?` | Optional AWS region prefix | `us.anthropic.model` |
| `(:0)?` | Optional version suffix | Bedrock model versions |
| `@date` | Vertex AI version format | `claude-3-5-sonnet@20240620` |
## Step-by-Step Workflow
### 1. Fetch Official Pricing
Open the official provider pricing page and capture the model's input, output,
cache write, and cache read prices.
### 2. Generate a Lowercase UUID
```bash
uuidgen
```
Convert the output to lowercase before using it.
### 3. Create the JSON Entry
Example for a model with $5 input, $25 output, $6.25 cache write, and
$0.50 cache read:
```json
{
"id": "13458bc0-1c20-44c2-8753-172f54b67647",
"modelName": "claude-opus-4-6",
"matchPattern": "(?i)^(anthropic\/)?(claude-opus-4-6|(eu\\.|us\\.|apac\\.)?anthropic\\.claude-opus-4-6-v1(:0)?|claude-opus-4-6)$",
"createdAt": "2026-03-09T00:00:00.000Z",
"updatedAt": "2026-03-09T00:00:00.000Z",
"tokenizerConfig": null,
"tokenizerId": "claude",
"pricingTiers": [
{
"id": "13458bc0-1c20-44c2-8753-172f54b67647_tier_default",
"name": "Standard",
"isDefault": true,
"priority": 0,
"conditions": [],
"prices": {
"input": 5e-6,
"input_tokens": 5e-6,
"output": 25e-6,
"output_tokens": 25e-6,
"cache_creation_input_tokens": 6.25e-6,
"input_cache_creation": 6.25e-6,
"cache_read_input_tokens": 0.5e-6,
"input_cache_read": 0.5e-6
}
}
]
}
```
### 4. Insert the Entry
Add the entry to the JSON array in
`worker/src/constants/default-model-prices.json`. Keep related models grouped
together.
### 5. Update Shared Model Types When Needed
If the model should be available in the playground or LLM-as-judge flows, add
it to the correct array in `packages/shared/src/server/llm/types.ts`.
Model arrays include:
- `anthropicModels`
- `openAIModels`
- `vertexAIModels`
- `googleAIStudioModels`
Do not add a new model as the first entry in one of these arrays. The first
entry is used as a default model in some test or evaluation paths and newer
models may not be available to all users yet.
### 6. Validate the Change
```bash
jq . worker/src/constants/default-model-prices.json > /dev/null
```
You can also inspect a specific entry:
```bash
jq '.[] | select(.modelName == "claude-opus-4-6")' worker/src/constants/default-model-prices.json
```
## Multi-Tier Example
For models with long-context pricing:
```json
{
"id": "uuid-here",
"modelName": "model-name",
"matchPattern": "...",
"pricingTiers": [
{
"id": "uuid-here_tier_default",
"name": "Standard",
"isDefault": true,
"priority": 0,
"conditions": [],
"prices": {
"input": 5e-6,
"output": 25e-6
}
},
{
"id": "uuid-for-large-context-tier",
"name": "Large Context (>200K)",
"isDefault": false,
"priority": 1,
"conditions": [
{
"usageDetailPattern": "(input|prompt|cached)",
"operator": "gt",
"value": 200000,
"caseSensitive": false
}
],
"prices": {
"input": 10e-6,
"output": 37.5e-6
}
}
]
}
```
## Validation Rules
1. Exactly one default tier must have `isDefault: true`
2. The default tier must have `priority: 0`
3. The default tier must have `conditions: []`
4. Non-default tiers must have `priority > 0`
5. Non-default tiers must have at least one condition
6. Priorities must be unique within a model
7. Tier names must be unique within a model
8. Each tier must contain at least one price
9. All tiers must expose the same usage-type keys
10. Regex patterns must be valid and safe
## Common Mistakes
### Guessing Instead of Using Official Pricing
Wrong:
```json
{
"cache_creation_input_tokens": "input_price * 1.25"
}
```
Correct:
```json
{
"cache_creation_input_tokens": 6.25e-6
}
```
### Using MTok Values Directly
Wrong:
```json
{
"input": 5
}
```
Correct:
```json
{
"input": 5e-6
}
```
### Missing the Default Tier Suffix
Wrong:
```json
{
"id": "some-uuid"
}
```
Correct:
```json
{
"id": "model-uuid_tier_default"
}
```
### Invalid Regex Escaping
Wrong:
```json
{
"matchPattern": "anthropic.claude"
}
```
Correct:
```json
{
"matchPattern": "anthropic\\.claude"
}
```
### Forgetting to Update `updatedAt`
Wrong:
```json
{
"updatedAt": "2025-12-12T15:00:06.513Z"
}
```
Correct:
```json
{
"updatedAt": "2026-03-09T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```
## Testing Model Matching
After adding a model, verify that the regex matches the intended provider
variants:
```javascript
const pattern = new RegExp(matchPattern);
console.log(pattern.test("claude-opus-4-6")); // true
console.log(pattern.test("anthropic/claude-opus-4-6")); // true
console.log(pattern.test("anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1:0")); // true
console.log(pattern.test("us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1:0")); // true
```
## Existing Model Templates
Use nearby entries as templates:
- `claude-opus-4-5-20251101` for Anthropic multi-provider patterns
- `gpt-4o` for a simple OpenAI pattern
- `gemini-2.5-pro` for a multi-tier Gemini entry

# Workflow and Validation
## Step-by-Step Workflow
### 1. Fetch Official Pricing
Open the provider's official pricing page and collect input, output, cache
write, and cache read prices.
### 2. Generate a Lowercase ID
```bash
uuidgen
```
Convert the output to lowercase before using it.
### 3. Create or Update the Entry
Use nearby models in `worker/src/constants/default-model-prices.json` as the
template, then:
- add the new entry near related models
- refresh `updatedAt` when editing an existing entry
- update `packages/shared/src/server/llm/types.ts` when the model should be
selectable in product flows
### 4. Validate the Result
Run the bundled validator:
```bash
node .agents/skills/add-model-price/scripts/validate-pricing-file.mjs
```
## Validation Rules
1. Exactly one default tier must have `isDefault: true`
2. The default tier must have `priority: 0`
3. The default tier must have `conditions: []`
4. Non-default tiers must have `priority > 0`
5. Non-default tiers must have at least one condition
6. Priorities must be unique within a model
7. Tier names must be unique within a model
8. Each tier must contain at least one price
9. All tiers must expose the same usage-type keys
10. Regex patterns must be valid
## Common Mistakes
- Guessing prices instead of using official provider docs
- Using MTok values directly instead of per-token values
- Forgetting the `_tier_default` suffix on the default tier ID
- Forgetting to escape regex metacharacters such as `.`
- Forgetting to refresh `updatedAt`
## Existing Model Templates
Use nearby entries as templates:
- `claude-opus-4-5-20251101` for Anthropic multi-provider patterns
- `gpt-4o` for a simple OpenAI pattern
- `gemini-2.5-pro` for a multi-tier Gemini entry

description: |
Shared workflow for editing Langfuse's repo-owned agent setup under `.agents/`.
Use when changing AGENTS files, shared skills, `.agents/config.json`,
generated shim behavior, provider discovery paths, or install-time agent sync.
---
# Agent Setup Maintenance
Use this skill when changing the shared agent setup for the repository.
## Start Here
- Read [`../../README.md`](../../README.md) for the shared config and shim model.
- Read root [`../../AGENTS.md`](../../AGENTS.md) for repo-level expectations.
- Inspect [`../../../scripts/agents/sync-agent-shims.mjs`](../../../scripts/agents/sync-agent-shims.mjs)
before changing generated outputs or provider discovery behavior.
- Inspect [`../../../scripts/postinstall.sh`](../../../scripts/postinstall.sh)
and [`../../../package.json`](../../../package.json) when changing install-time
sync behavior.
## Workflow
1. Edit the canonical files under `.agents/`, not generated provider outputs.
2. Keep root `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md` as discovery symlinks; do not turn
them back into manually maintained copies.
3. Treat tool-specific directories such as `.claude/`, `.cursor/`, `.codex/`,
`.vscode/`, and `.mcp.json` as generated discovery surfaces unless the tool
requires a truly tool-specific feature.
4. Keep root `AGENTS.md` concise and router-like. Move detailed or conditional
workflows into shared skills or package `AGENTS.md` files.
5. When adding or changing a shared skill, update `skills/README.md` and link
it from root `AGENTS.md` if it changes the default reusable workflow.
6. When shared setup behavior changes materially, update `README.md` and
contributor-facing docs in the same PR.
## Docker / Install-Time Constraint
- `pnpm install` runs in environments that may not contain the full repo source
tree.
- In Docker builds, Turbo's pruned install stage can run root `postinstall`
before `scripts/` and `.agents/` are available in the image.
- Keep install-time agent setup logic robust in those pruned contexts: skip
cleanly when the required repo-owned files are not present.
## Required Verification
Run after changing shared agent setup:
- `pnpm run agents:sync`
- `pnpm run agents:check`
Run additional verification when relevant:
- `pnpm run postinstall` when install-time behavior changes
- targeted tests for any scripts you changed
## Design Rules
- Prefer one repo-owned source of truth over duplicated provider-specific files.
- Keep shared setup tool-neutral where possible.
- Only keep provider-specific files in source control when the provider requires
a fixed discovery path or feature that cannot be expressed through the shared
setup model.

# Backend Development Guidelines
## Purpose
Establish consistency and best practices across Langfuse's backend packages (web, worker, packages/shared) using Next.js 14, tRPC, BullMQ, and TypeScript patterns.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this guide when working on:
- Creating or modifying tRPC routers and procedures
- Creating or modifying public API endpoints (REST)
- Creating or modifying BullMQ queue consumers and producers
- Building services with business logic
- Authenticating API requests
- Accessing resources based on entitlements
- Implementing middleware (tRPC, NextAuth, public API)
- Database operations with Prisma (PostgreSQL) or ClickHouse
- Observability with OpenTelemetry, DataDog, logger, and traceException
- Input validation with Zod v4
- Environment configuration from env variables
- Backend testing and refactoring
---
## Quick Start
### UI: New tRPC Feature Checklist (Web)
- [ ] **Router**: Define in `features/[feature]/server/*Router.ts`
- [ ] **Procedures**: Use appropriate procedure type (protected, public)
- [ ] **Authentication**: Use JWT authorization via middlewares.
- [ ] **Entitlement check**: Access resources based on resource and role
- [ ] **Validation**: Zod v4 schema for input
- [ ] **Service**: Business logic in service file
- [ ] **Error handling**: Use traceException wrapper
- [ ] **Tests**: Unit + integration tests in `__tests__/`
- [ ] **Config**: Access via env.mjs
### SDKs: New Public API Endpoint Checklist (Web)
- [ ] **Route file**: Create in `pages/api/public/`
- [ ] **Wrapper**: Use `withMiddlewares` + `createAuthedProjectAPIRoute`
- [ ] **Types**: Define in `features/public-api/types/`
- [ ] **Authentication**: Authorization via basic auth
- [ ] **Validation**: Zod schemas for query/body/response
- [ ] **Versioning**: Versioning in API path and Zod schemas for query/body/response
- [ ] **Fern API Docs**: Update `fern/apis/server/definition/` to match TypeScript types
- [ ] **Tests**: Add end-to-end test in `__tests__/async/`
### New Queue Processor Checklist (Worker)
- [ ] **Processor**: Create in `worker/src/queues/`
- [ ] **Queue types**: Create queue types in `packages/shared/src/server/queues`
- [ ] **Service**: Business logic in `features/` or `worker/src/features/`
- [ ] **Error handling**: Distinguish between errors which should fail queue processing and errors which should result in a succeeded event.
- [ ] **Queue registration**: Add to WorkerManager in app.ts
- [ ] **Tests**: Add vitest tests in worker

## Architecture Overview
### Layered Architecture
```
# Web Package (Next.js 14)
┌─ tRPC API ──────────────────┐ ┌── Public REST API ──────────┐

```
**Key Principles:**
- **Web**: tRPC procedures for UI OR public API routes for SDKs → Services → Database
- **Worker**: Queue processors → Services → Database
- **packages/shared**: Shared code for Web and Worker

**Import Paths (package.json exports):**
The shared package exposes specific import paths for different use cases:
| Import Path | Maps To | Use For |
| ------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `@langfuse/shared` | `dist/src/index.js` | General types, schemas, utilities, constants |
| `@langfuse/shared/src/db` | `dist/src/db.js` | Prisma client and database types |
| `@langfuse/shared/src/server` | `dist/src/server/index.js` | Server-side utilities (queues, auth, services, instrumentation) |
| `@langfuse/shared/src/server/auth/apiKeys` | `dist/src/server/auth/apiKeys.js` | API key management utilities |
| `@langfuse/shared/encryption` | `dist/src/encryption/index.js` | Encryption and signature utilities |
**Usage Examples:**
```typescript
// General imports - types, schemas, constants, interfaces
import {
CloudConfigSchema,
StringNoHTML,
AnnotationQueueObjectType,
type APIScoreV2,
type ColumnDefinition,
Role,
} from "@langfuse/shared";
// Database - Prisma client and types
import { prisma, Prisma, JobExecutionStatus } from "@langfuse/shared/src/db";
import { type DB as Database } from "@langfuse/shared";
// Server utilities - queues, services, auth, instrumentation
import {
logger,
instrumentAsync,
traceException,
redis,
getTracesTable,
StorageService,
sendMembershipInvitationEmail,
invalidateApiKeysForProject,
recordIncrement,
recordHistogram,
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
// API key management (specific path)
import { createAndAddApiKeysToDb } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/auth/apiKeys";
// Encryption utilities
import { encrypt, decrypt, sign, verify } from "@langfuse/shared/encryption";
```
**What Goes Where:**
The shared package provides types, utilities, and server code used by both web and worker packages. It has **5 export paths** that control frontend vs backend access:
| Import Path | Usage | What's Included |
| ------------------------------------------ | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `@langfuse/shared` | ✅ Frontend + Backend | Prisma types, Zod schemas, constants, table definitions, domain models, utilities |
| `@langfuse/shared/src/db` | 🔒 Backend only | Prisma client instance |
| `@langfuse/shared/src/server` | 🔒 Backend only | Services, repositories, queues, auth, ClickHouse, LLM integration, instrumentation |
| `@langfuse/shared/src/server/auth/apiKeys` | 🔒 Backend only | API key management (separated to avoid circular deps) |
| `@langfuse/shared/encryption` | 🔒 Backend only | Database field encryption/decryption |
**Naming Conventions:**
- tRPC Routers: `camelCaseRouter.ts` - `datasetRouter.ts`
- Services: `service.ts` in feature directory
- Queue Processors: `camelCaseQueue.ts` - `evalQueue.ts`
- Public APIs: `kebab-case.ts` - `dataset-items.ts`
---
## Core Principles
### 1. tRPC Procedures Delegate to Services
```typescript
// ❌ NEVER: Business logic in procedures
export const traceRouter = createTRPCRouter({
byId: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(z.object({ traceId: z.string() }))
.query(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
// 200 lines of logic here
}),
});
// ✅ ALWAYS: Delegate to service
export const traceRouter = createTRPCRouter({
byId: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(z.object({ traceId: z.string() }))
.query(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
return await getTraceById(input.traceId);
}),
});
```
### 2. Access Config via env.mjs, NEVER process.env
```typescript
// ❌ NEVER (except in env.mjs itself)
const dbUrl = process.env.DATABASE_URL;
// ✅ ALWAYS
import { env } from "@/src/env.mjs";
const dbUrl = env.DATABASE_URL;
```
### 3. Validate ALL Input with Zod v4
```typescript
import { z } from "zod/v4";
const schema = z.object({
email: z.string().email(),
projectId: z.string(),
});
const validated = schema.parse(input);
```
### 4. Services Use Prisma Directly for Simple CRUD or Repositories for Complex Queries
```typescript
// Services use Prisma directly for simple CRUD
import { prisma } from "@langfuse/shared/src/db";
const dataset = await prisma.dataset.findUnique({
where: { id: datasetId, projectId }, // Always filter by projectId for tenant isolation
});
// Or use repositories for complex queries (traces, observations, scores)
import { getTracesTable } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
const traces = await getTracesTable({
projectId,
filter: [...],
limit: 1000,
});
```
### 6. Observability: OpenTelemetry + DataDog (Not Sentry for Backend)
**Langfuse uses OpenTelemetry for backend observability, with traces and logs sent to DataDog.**
```typescript
// Import observability utilities
import {
logger, // Winston logger with OpenTelemetry/DataDog context
traceException, // Record exceptions to OpenTelemetry spans
instrumentAsync, // Create instrumented spans
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
// Structured logging (includes trace_id, span_id, dd.trace_id)
logger.info("Processing dataset", { datasetId, projectId });
logger.error("Failed to create dataset", { error: err.message });
// Record exceptions to OpenTelemetry (sent to DataDog)
try {
await operation();
} catch (error) {
traceException(error); // Records to current span
throw error;
}
// Instrument critical operations (all API routes auto-instrumented)
const result = await instrumentAsync(
{ name: "dataset.create" },
async (span) => {
span.setAttributes({ datasetId, projectId });
// Operation here
return dataset;
},
);
```
**Note**: Frontend uses Sentry, but backend (tRPC, API routes, services, worker) uses OpenTelemetry + DataDog.
### 7. Comprehensive Testing Required
Write tests for all new features and bug fixes. See [testing-guide.md](references/testing-guide.md) for detailed examples.
**Test Types:**
| Type | Framework | Location | Purpose |
| ----------- | --------- | --------------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Integration | Jest | `web/src/__tests__/async/` | Full API endpoint testing |
| tRPC | Jest | `web/src/__tests__/async/` | tRPC procedures with auth |
| Service | Jest | `web/src/__tests__/async/repositories/` | Repository/service functions |
| Worker | Vitest | `worker/src/__tests__/` | Queue processors & streams |
**Quick Examples:**
```typescript
// Integration Test (Public API)
const res = await makeZodVerifiedAPICall(
PostDatasetsV1Response, "POST", "/api/public/datasets",
{ name: "test-dataset" }, auth
);
expect(res.status).toBe(200);
// tRPC Test
const { caller } = await prepare(); // Creates session + caller
const response = await caller.automations.getAutomations({ projectId });
expect(response).toHaveLength(1);
// Service Test
const result = await getObservationsWithModelDataFromEventsTable({
projectId, filter: [...], limit: 1000, offset: 0
});
expect(result.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
// Worker Test (vitest)
const stream = await getObservationStream({ projectId, filter: [] });
const rows = [];
for await (const chunk of stream) rows.push(chunk);
expect(rows).toHaveLength(2);
```
**Key Principles:**
- Use unique IDs (`randomUUID()`) to avoid test interference
- Clean up test data or use unique project IDs
- Tests must be independent and runnable in any order
- Prefer scoped cleanup or unique project IDs over global reset helpers
### 8. Always Filter by projectId for Tenant Isolation
```typescript
// ✅ CORRECT: Filter by projectId for tenant isolation
const trace = await prisma.trace.findUnique({
where: { id: traceId, projectId }, // Required for multi-tenant data isolation
});
// ✅ CORRECT: ClickHouse queries also require projectId
const traces = await queryClickhouse({
query: `
SELECT * FROM traces
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String}
AND timestamp >= {startTime: DateTime64(3)}
`,
params: { projectId, startTime },
});
```
### 9. Keep Fern API Definitions in Sync with TypeScript Types
When modifying public API types in `web/src/features/public-api/types/`, the corresponding Fern API definitions in `fern/apis/server/definition/` must be updated to match.
**Zod to Fern Type Mapping:**
| Zod Type | Fern Type | Example |
| -------- | --------- | ------- |
| `.nullish()` | `optional<nullable<T>>` | `z.string().nullish()``optional<nullable<string>>` |
| `.nullable()` | `nullable<T>` | `z.string().nullable()``nullable<string>` |
| `.optional()` | `optional<T>` | `z.string().optional()``optional<string>` |
| Always present | `T` | `z.string()``string` |
**Source References:**
Add a comment at the top of each Fern type referencing the TypeScript source file:
```yaml
# Source: web/src/features/public-api/types/traces.ts - APITrace
Trace:
properties:
id: string
name:
type: nullable<string>
```
---
## Common Imports
```typescript
// tRPC (Web)
import { z } from "zod/v4";
import {
createTRPCRouter,
protectedProjectProcedure,
} from "@/src/server/api/trpc";
import { TRPCError } from "@trpc/server";
// Database
import { prisma } from "@langfuse/shared/src/db";
import type { Prisma } from "@prisma/client";
// ClickHouse
import {
queryClickhouse,
queryClickhouseStream,
upsertClickhouse,
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
// Observability - OpenTelemetry + DataDog (NOT Sentry for backend)
import {
logger, // Winston logger with OTEL/DataDog trace context
traceException, // Record exceptions to OpenTelemetry spans
instrumentAsync, // Create instrumented spans for operations
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
// Config
import { env } from "@/src/env.mjs"; // web
// or
import { env } from "./env"; // worker
// Public API (Web)
import { withMiddlewares } from "@/src/features/public-api/server/withMiddlewares";
import { createAuthedProjectAPIRoute } from "@/src/features/public-api/server/createAuthedProjectAPIRoute";
// Queue Processing (Worker)
import { Job } from "bullmq";
import { QueueName, TQueueJobTypes } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
```

| Code | Use Case |
| ---- | ------------ |
| 200 | Success |

### Example Features to Reference
Reference existing Langfuse features for implementation patterns:
- **Datasets** (`web/src/features/datasets/`) - Complete feature with tRPC router, public API, and service
- **Prompts** (`web/src/features/prompts/`) - Feature with versioning and templates
- **Evaluations** (`web/src/features/evals/`) - Complex feature with worker integration
- **Public API** (`web/src/features/public-api/`) - Middleware and route patterns
---
## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
❌ Business logic in routes/procedures
❌ Direct process.env usage (always use env.mjs/env.ts)
❌ Missing error handling
❌ No input validation (always use Zod v4)
❌ Missing projectId filter on tenant-scoped queries
❌ console.log instead of logger/traceException (OpenTelemetry)

# Backend Development Guidelines
Use this skill for backend and API work across `web/`, `worker/`, and
`packages/shared/`.
## When to Apply
- Creating or modifying tRPC routers and procedures
- Creating or modifying public API endpoints
- Creating or modifying queue processors, producers, or queue-backed workflows
- Building or refactoring backend services and repositories
- Working on backend auth, middleware, validation, or observability
- Updating Prisma or ClickHouse access patterns
- Adding or fixing backend tests
## How to Read This Skill
- Start with [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) when the task spans multiple backend areas
or you need the end-to-end checklists.

## Layered Architecture Pattern
Langfuse uses a **three-layer architecture** with two primary entry points (tRPC and Public API) plus async processing via Worker.
### The Three Layers
```
# Web Package (Next.js 14)
┌─ tRPC API ──────────────────┐ ┌── Public REST API ──────────┐
│ │ │ │
│ HTTP Request │ │ HTTP Request │
│ ↓ │ │ ↓ │
│ tRPC Procedure │ │ withMiddlewares + │
│ (protectedProjectProcedure)│ │ createAuthedProjectAPIRoute│
│ ↓ │ │ ↓ │
│ Service (business logic) │ │ Service (business logic) │
│ ↓ │ │ ↓ │
│ Prisma / ClickHouse │ │ Prisma / ClickHouse │
│ │ │ │
└─────────────────────────────┘ └─────────────────────────────┘
[optional]: Publish to Redis BullMQ queue
┌─ Worker Package (Express) ──────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ BullMQ Queue Job │
│ ↓ │
│ Queue Processor (handles job) │
│ ↓ │
│ Service (business logic) │
│ ↓ │
│ Prisma / ClickHouse │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Layer Breakdown
**Layer 1: API Entry Points**
Two types of entry points:
- **tRPC Procedures** - Type-safe RPC for UI
- Located in `features/[feature]/server/*Router.ts`
- Uses middleware for auth/validation
- Types shared between client/server
- **Public REST APIs** - REST endpoints for SDKs
- Located in `pages/api/public/`
- Uses `withMiddlewares` + `createAuthedProjectAPIRoute`
- Versioned with Zod schemas
**Layer 2: Services**
- Business logic and orchestration
- Shared between tRPC, Public API, and Worker
- Located in `features/[feature]/server/service.ts`
- No HTTP/Request/Response knowledge
- Use repositories for complex queries or Prisma directly for simple CRUD
**Layer 3: Data Access**
- **Repositories** for complex data access patterns (traces, observations, scores, events)
- **Direct Prisma** for simple CRUD operations in services
- PostgreSQL for transactional data
- ClickHouse for analytics/traces (accessed via repositories)
- Redis for caching/queues
**Async Processing Layer: Worker**
- BullMQ queue processors
- Same service layer as Web
- Handles long-running operations
### Why This Architecture?
**Testability:**
- tRPC procedures easily testable with type-safe callers
- Services tested independently with mocked DB
- Queue processors tested with vitest
- Clear test boundaries
**Maintainability:**
- Business logic isolated in services
- tRPC provides type safety end-to-end
- Changes to API don't affect service layer
- Easy to locate and fix bugs
**Reusability:**
- Services used by tRPC, Public API, Worker, and scripts
- Business logic not tied to HTTP or tRPC
- Consistent patterns across packages
**Scalability:**
- Worker handles async operations separately
- Easy to add new tRPC procedures
- Clear patterns to follow
- Shared code in packages/shared
---
## Request Lifecycle
### tRPC Request Flow (UI)
```typescript
1. HTTP POST /api/trpc/datasets.create
2. Next.js API route catches request (pages/api/trpc/[trpc].ts)
3. tRPC router resolves procedure:
- Match route to procedure in datasetRouter.ts
4. tRPC middleware chain executes:
- protectedProjectProcedure (authentication)
- hasEntitlement checks
- Input validation with Zod v4
5. Procedure handler calls service:
export const datasetRouter = createTRPCRouter({
create: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(createDatasetSchema)
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
return await createDataset(input, ctx.session);
}),
})
6. Service executes business logic:
- Validate business rules
- Use repositories for complex queries or Prisma directly
- ClickHouse queries via repositories if needed
7. Database operations:
- prisma.dataset.create({ data })
- clickhouse queries via getTracesTable()
8. Response flows back:
Database Service Procedure tRPC Client
```
### Public API Request Flow (SDKs)
```typescript
1. HTTP POST /api/public/datasets
2. Next.js API route handler (pages/api/public/datasets.ts)
3. withMiddlewares wrapper executes:
- Basic auth verification
- Rate limiting
- CORS handling
4. createAuthedProjectAPIRoute handler:
- Parse and validate request with Zod v4
- Extract auth context (project, user)
5. Handler calls service function:
const dataset = await createDataset({
name: req.body.name,
projectId: req.auth.projectId,
});
6. Service executes (same as tRPC path)
7. Response formatted and returned:
res.status(201).json(dataset);
```
### Worker/Queue Processing Flow
```typescript
1. Job added to Redis BullMQ queue:
await evalQueue.add("eval-job", {
evalId, projectId
});
2. Worker picks up job from Redis
3. Queue processor handles job:
// worker/src/queues/evalQueue.ts
async process(job: Job<EvalJobType>) {
await processEvaluation(job.data);
}
4. Processor calls service:
- Same service layer as Web
- Business logic execution
5. Service performs operations:
- Prisma transactions
- ClickHouse queries
- External API calls (LLMs)
6. Job completes or fails:
- Success: job.updateProgress(100)
- Failure: throw error for retry
```

### Shared Package (`/packages/shared/`)
The shared package provides types, utilities, and server code used by both web and worker packages. It has **5 export paths** that control frontend vs backend access:
| Import Path | Usage | What's Included |
| ------------------------------------------ | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `@langfuse/shared` | ✅ Frontend + Backend | Prisma types, Zod schemas, constants, table definitions, domain models, utilities |
| `@langfuse/shared/src/db` | 🔒 Backend only | Prisma client instance |
| `@langfuse/shared/src/server` | 🔒 Backend only | Services, repositories, queues, auth, ClickHouse, LLM integration, instrumentation |
| `@langfuse/shared/src/server/auth/apiKeys` | 🔒 Backend only | API key management (separated to avoid circular deps) |
| `@langfuse/shared/encryption` | 🔒 Backend only | Database field encryption/decryption |
**Key Structure:**
```
packages/shared/src/
├── server/ # 🔒 All server-only code
│ ├── auth/ # Authentication & authorization
│ ├── clickhouse/ # ClickHouse client & queries
│ ├── redis/ # Redis client & 30+ queue types
│ ├── repositories/ # Data access (traces, observations, scores, events)
│ ├── services/ # Business services (Storage, Email, Slack, etc.)
│ ├── llm/ # LLM integration
│ ├── instrumentation/ # OpenTelemetry
│ └── queues.ts, logger.ts, filterToPrisma.ts, etc.
├── features/ # ✅ Feature types (evals, scores, prompts, datasets)
├── domain/ # ✅ Domain models (automations, webhooks, etc.)
├── tableDefinitions/ # ✅ Table schemas
├── interfaces/ # ✅ Shared interfaces (filters, orderBy)
├── utils/ # ✅ Utilities (JSON, Zod, string checks)
├── encryption/ # 🔒 Encryption utilities
└── db.ts, constants.ts, types.ts, etc.
```
**Common Import Patterns:**
```typescript
// ✅ Main export - Safe for frontend + backend
import {
Prisma,
Role,
type Dataset,
CloudConfigSchema,
} from "@langfuse/shared";
// 🔒 Database - Backend only
import { prisma } from "@langfuse/shared/src/db";
// 🔒 Server utilities - Backend only
import {
logger,
instrumentAsync,
traceException,
redis,
clickhouseClient,
StorageService,
fetchLLMCompletion,
filterToPrisma,
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
// 🔒 API keys - Backend only
import { createAndAddApiKeysToDb } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/auth/apiKeys";
// 🔒 Encryption - Backend only
import { encrypt, decrypt } from "@langfuse/shared/encryption";
```
---
## Module Organization
### Feature-Based Organization (Recommended)
For most features, organize by domain within `features/`:
```
src/features/datasets/
├── server/ # Backend code
│ ├── datasetRouter.ts # tRPC procedures
│ └── service.ts # Business logic
├── components/ # React components
│ ├── DatasetTable.tsx
│ └── DatasetForm.tsx
├── types/ # Feature types
│ └── index.ts
└── utils/ # Feature utilities
```
**When to use:**
- Any feature with UI + API
- Clear domain boundary
- Multiple related procedures
### Subdomain Organization
For complex features with multiple subdomains:
```
src/features/evaluations/
├── server/
│ ├── evalRouter.ts # Main router
│ ├── evalService.ts # Core service
│ ├── templates/ # Template subdomain
│ │ ├── templateRouter.ts
│ │ └── templateService.ts
│ └── configs/ # Config subdomain
│ ├── configRouter.ts
│ └── configService.ts
├── components/
│ ├── templates/
│ └── configs/
└── types/
```
**When to use:**
- Feature has 10+ files
- Clear subdomains exist
- Logical grouping improves clarity
### Flat Organization (Rare)
For small, standalone features:
```
src/server/api/routers/
├── healthRouter.ts # Simple health check
└── versionRouter.ts # Version info
```
**When to use:**
- Simple features (1-2 procedures)
- No UI components
- Standalone utilities
---
## Separation of Concerns
### What Goes Where
**tRPC Procedures (Entry Layer):**
- ✅ Procedure definitions (query/mutation)
- ✅ Middleware application (auth, validation)
- ✅ Input schemas (Zod v4)
- ✅ Service delegation
- ✅ Error transformation (TRPCError)
- ❌ Business logic (belongs in services)
- ❌ Database operations (belongs in services)
- ❌ Complex validation (belongs in services)

- ✅ Repository calls for complex queries
- ✅ Direct Prisma operations for simple CRUD
- ✅ ClickHouse queries (via repositories)
- ✅ Redis cache access
- ✅ External API calls (LLMs, etc.)
- ❌ HTTP concerns (Request/Response)

- ❌ NextAuth session handling (passed as parameter)
**Queue Processors (Worker):**
- ✅ Job registration and configuration
- ✅ Job data extraction
- ✅ Service delegation
- ✅ Progress updates
- ✅ Error handling (retry logic)
- ❌ Business logic (belongs in services)
- ❌ Database operations (belongs in services)
### Example: Dataset Creation
**tRPC Procedure (Entry Point):**
```typescript
// web/src/features/datasets/server/datasetRouter.ts
import { z } from "zod/v4";
import {
createTRPCRouter,
protectedProjectProcedure,
} from "@/src/server/api/trpc";
import { TRPCError } from "@trpc/server";
import { createDataset } from "./service";
export const datasetRouter = createTRPCRouter({
create: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(
z.object({
name: z.string(),
description: z.string().optional(),
projectId: z.string(),
}),
)
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
try {
return await createDataset({
...input,
userId: ctx.session.user.id,
});
} catch (error) {
throw new TRPCError({
code: "INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR",
message: "Failed to create dataset",
cause: error,
});
}
}),
});
```
**Service (Business Logic):**
```typescript
// web/src/features/datasets/server/service.ts
import { prisma } from "@langfuse/shared/src/db";
import { instrumentAsync, traceException } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
export async function createDataset(data: {
name: string;
description?: string;
projectId: string;
userId: string;
}) {
return await instrumentAsync({ name: "dataset.create" }, async (span) => {
// Business rule: Check for duplicate names in project
const existing = await prisma.dataset.findFirst({
where: {
name: data.name,
projectId: data.projectId,
},
});
if (existing) {
throw new Error(`Dataset with name "${data.name}" already exists`);
}
// Create dataset
const dataset = await prisma.dataset.create({
data: {
name: data.name,
description: data.description,
projectId: data.projectId,
createdById: data.userId,
},
});
span.setAttributes({
datasetId: dataset.id,
projectId: dataset.projectId,
});
return dataset;
});
}
```
**Public API (Alternative Entry Point):**
```typescript
// web/src/pages/api/public/datasets.ts
import { withMiddlewares } from "@/src/features/public-api/server/withMiddlewares";
import { createAuthedProjectAPIRoute } from "@/src/features/public-api/server/createAuthedProjectAPIRoute";
import { createDataset } from "@/src/features/datasets/server/service";
import { z } from "zod/v4";
const createDatasetSchema = z.object({
name: z.string(),
description: z.string().optional(),
});
export default withMiddlewares({
POST: createAuthedProjectAPIRoute({
name: "Create Dataset",
bodySchema: createDatasetSchema,
fn: async ({ body, auth, res }) => {
const dataset = await createDataset({
name: body.name,
description: body.description,
projectId: auth.scope.projectId,
userId: auth.scope.userId,
});
return res.status(201).json(dataset);
},
}),
});
```
**Queue Processor (Async Processing):**
```typescript
// worker/src/queues/datasetExportQueue.ts
import { Job } from "bullmq";
import { exportDataset } from "../features/datasets/exportService";
export async function processDatasetExport(
job: Job<{ datasetId: string; projectId: string; format: string }>,
) {
const { datasetId, projectId, format } = job.data;
await job.updateProgress(10);
// Delegate to service
const exportUrl = await exportDataset({
datasetId,
projectId,
format,
onProgress: (percent) => job.updateProgress(percent),
});
await job.updateProgress(100);
return { exportUrl };
}
```
**Notice:** Each layer has clear, distinct responsibilities!
- **Entry layers** (tRPC/Public API/Queue) handle protocol concerns
- **Service layer** contains all business logic
- **Data layer** accessed via repositories (complex queries) or Prisma directly (simple CRUD)
---
## Database Architecture
### Dual Database System
Langfuse uses two databases with different purposes:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Application │
│ │
│ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ │
│ │ PostgreSQL │ │ ClickHouse │ │
│ │ │ │ │ │
│ │ Transactional│ │ Analytics │ │
│ │ Data │ │ Data │ │
│ └──────────────┘ └──────────────┘ │
│ ↑ ↑ │
│ │ │ │
│ Prisma ORM Direct SQL │
│ (schema migrations) (via client) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**PostgreSQL (Primary Database):**
- Accessed via Prisma ORM
- Transactional data (users, projects, datasets, etc.)
- ACID guarantees
- Schema managed via `prisma migrate`
- Located in `packages/shared/prisma/`
**ClickHouse (Analytics Database):**
- Accessed via direct SQL queries
- High-volume trace/observation data
- Columnar storage for analytics
- Optimized for aggregations
- Schema in `packages/shared/src/server/clickhouse/`
- Schema managed via `golang-migrate`
**Redis (Cache & Queues):**
- BullMQ job queues
- Caching layer
- Session storage
- Rate limiting
### Data Access Pattern
**Services access databases directly:**
```typescript
// PostgreSQL via Prisma
import { prisma } from "@langfuse/shared/src/db";
const dataset = await prisma.dataset.create({ data });
// ClickHouse via helper functions
import { getTracesTable } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
const traces = await getTracesTable({
projectId,
filter: [...],
limit: 1000,
});
// Redis via queue/cache utilities
import { redis } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
await redis.set(`cache:${key}`, value, "EX", 3600);
```
**Repository Pattern:**
Langfuse uses repositories in `packages/shared/src/server/repositories/` for complex data access patterns. Repositories provide:
- Abstraction over complex queries (traces, observations, scores, events)
- Data converters for transforming database models to application models
- ClickHouse query builders and stream processing
- Reusable query logic across services
Services can use repositories for complex operations OR Prisma directly for simple CRUD operations.
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Keep Procedures Thin
tRPC procedures should only handle protocol concerns:
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Business logic in procedure
export const datasetRouter = createTRPCRouter({
create: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(createSchema)
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
// 200 lines of business logic here
const existing = await prisma.dataset.findFirst(...);
if (existing) throw new Error(...);
const dataset = await prisma.dataset.create(...);
await sendNotification(...);
return dataset;
}),
});
// ✅ GOOD: Delegate to service
export const datasetRouter = createTRPCRouter({
create: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(createSchema)
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
return await createDataset(input, ctx.session);
}),
});
```
### 2. Services Should Be Protocol-Agnostic
Services should work regardless of entry point:
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD: No HTTP/tRPC knowledge
export async function createDataset(data: CreateDatasetInput) {
// Pure business logic
return await prisma.dataset.create({ data });
}
// ❌ BAD: tRPC-specific
export async function createDataset(ctx: TRPCContext) {
// Coupled to tRPC
}
```
### 3. Observability with OpenTelemetry + DataDog
**Langfuse uses OpenTelemetry for backend observability, with traces and logs sent to DataDog.**
Use structured logging and instrumentation:
```typescript
import {
logger,
traceException,
instrumentAsync,
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
export async function processEvaluation(evalId: string) {
return await instrumentAsync(
{ name: "evaluation.process", attributes: { evalId } },
async (span) => {
// Structured logging (includes trace_id, span_id, dd.trace_id)
logger.info("Starting evaluation", { evalId });
try {
// Operation here
const result = await runEvaluation(evalId);
span.setAttributes({
score: result.score,
status: "success",
});
return result;
} catch (error) {
// Record exception to OpenTelemetry span (sent to DataDog)
traceException(error, span);
logger.error("Evaluation failed", { evalId, error: error.message });
throw error;
}
},
);
}
```
**Note**: Frontend uses Sentry for error tracking, but backend (tRPC, API routes, services, worker) uses OpenTelemetry + DataDog.
### 4. Use Proper Error Handling
Transform errors at entry points:
```typescript
// tRPC procedure
try {
return await service();
} catch (error) {
traceException(error); // Record to OpenTelemetry span (sent to DataDog)
throw new TRPCError({
code: "INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR",
message: "User-friendly message",
cause: error,
});
}
// Public API
try {
return await service();
} catch (error) {
traceException(error); // Record to OpenTelemetry span (sent to DataDog)
return res.status(500).json({
error: "User-friendly message",
});
}
```
### 5. Validate at Entry Points
Use Zod v4 for all input validation:
```typescript
import { z } from "zod/v4";
// tRPC
.input(z.object({
name: z.string().min(1).max(255),
projectId: z.string(),
}))
// Public API
const bodySchema = z.object({
name: z.string().min(1).max(255),
});
const validated = bodySchema.parse(req.body);
```

- [Package-Specific Configuration](#package-specific-configuration)
- [Special Environment Variables](#special-environment-variables)
- [Best Practices](#best-practices)
---
## Environment Variable Pattern
### Why Zod-Validated Environment Variables?
**Problems with raw process.env:**
- ❌ No type safety
- ❌ No validation
- ❌ Hard to test
- ❌ Runtime errors for typos
- ❌ No default values
**Benefits of Zod validation:**
- ✅ Type-safe configuration
- ✅ Validated at startup
- ✅ Clear error messages
- ✅ Default values
- ✅ Environment-specific transformation
---
## Package-Specific Configuration
Each package has its own `env.ts` or `env.mjs` file that validates and exports environment variables:
```
langfuse/
├── web/src/env.mjs # Next.js app (t3-env pattern)
├── worker/src/env.ts # Worker service (Zod schema)
├── packages/shared/src/env.ts # Shared config (Zod schema)
└── ee/src/env.ts # Enterprise Edition (Zod schema)
```
### Web Package (`web/src/env.mjs`)
Uses **t3-oss/env-nextjs** for Next.js-specific validation with server/client separation.
**Key Features:**
- Separates server-side and client-side environment variables
- Client variables must be prefixed with `NEXT_PUBLIC_`
- Validates at build time (unless `DOCKER_BUILD=1`)
- `runtimeEnv` section manually maps all variables
**Structure:**
```typescript
import { createEnv } from "@t3-oss/env-nextjs";
import { z } from "zod";
export const env = createEnv({
// Server-side only variables (never exposed to client)
server: {
DATABASE_URL: z.string().url(),
NEXTAUTH_SECRET: z.string().min(1),
SALT: z.string(),
CLICKHOUSE_URL: z.string().url(),
// ... 100+ server variables
},
// Client-side variables (exposed to browser)
client: {
NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION: z
.enum(["US", "EU", "STAGING", "DEV", "HIPAA", "JP"])
.optional(),
NEXT_PUBLIC_SIGN_UP_DISABLED: z.enum(["true", "false"]).default("false"),
// ... client variables
},
// Runtime mapping (required for Next.js edge runtime)
runtimeEnv: {
DATABASE_URL: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
NEXTAUTH_SECRET: process.env.NEXTAUTH_SECRET,
NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION:
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION,
// ... must map ALL variables
},
// Skip validation in Docker builds
skipValidation: process.env.DOCKER_BUILD === "1",
emptyStringAsUndefined: true,
});
```
**Usage:**
```typescript
// In server-side code (tRPC, API routes)
import { env } from "@/src/env.mjs";
const dbUrl = env.DATABASE_URL;
const salt = env.SALT;
// In client-side code (React components)
import { env } from "@/src/env.mjs";
const region = env.NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION;
```
### Worker Package (`worker/src/env.ts`)
Uses **plain Zod schema** for Express.js worker service.

process.env.DOCKER_BUILD === "1"
? (process.env as any)
: EnvSchema.parse(removeEmptyEnvVariables(process.env));
```
**Usage:**
```typescript
import { env } from "./env";
const concurrency = env.LANGFUSE_INGESTION_QUEUE_PROCESSING_CONCURRENCY;

)
.optional(),
// ... 80+ shared variables
});
export const env: z.infer<typeof EnvSchema> =
process.env.DOCKER_BUILD === "1"
? (process.env as any)

## Special Environment Variables
### NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION
**Purpose:** Identifies the cloud deployment region for Langfuse Cloud.
**Type:** `"US" | "EU" | "STAGING" | "DEV" | "HIPAA" | "JP" | undefined`
**Where Used:**
- **web/src/env.mjs** - Client-side accessible (prefixed with `NEXT_PUBLIC_`)
- **ee/src/env.ts** - Enterprise features
- **packages/shared/src/env.ts** - Shared logic
- **worker/src/env.ts** - Worker processing
**When Set:**
| Environment | Value | Purpose |
|--------------------------|------------------------|------------------------------------------------|
| **Developer Laptop** | `"DEV"` or `"STAGING"` | Local development against cloud infrastructure |
| **Langfuse Cloud US** | `"US"` | Production US region |
| **Langfuse Cloud EU** | `"EU"` | Production EU region |
| **Langfuse Cloud HIPAA** | `"HIPAA"` | HIPAA-compliant region |
| **Langfuse Cloud JP** | `"JP"` | Production JP region |
| **OSS Self-Hosted** | `undefined` (not set) | Self-hosted deployments don't have region |
**Use Cases:**
```typescript
// Check if running in cloud
if (env.NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION) {
// Enable cloud-specific features
- Usage metering and billing
- Cloud spend alerts
- Free tier enforcement
- Stripe integration
- PostHog analytics
}
// Region-specific behavior
if (env.NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION === "HIPAA") {
// HIPAA compliance features
}
// Development/staging checks
if (env.NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION === "DEV") {
// Enable debug features
}
```
**Example Configuration:**
```bash
# .env file on developer laptop
NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION=DEV
# Cloud US deployment
NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION=US
# Self-hosted OSS deployment
# (variable not set)
```
### LANGFUSE_EE_LICENSE_KEY
**Purpose:** Enables Enterprise Edition features in self-hosted deployments.
**Type:** `string | undefined`
**Where Used:**
- **web/src/env.mjs** - Web app EE features
- **ee/src/env.ts** - EE package
**When Set:**
| Deployment | Value | Features Enabled |
| ------------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Langfuse Cloud** | Not set | Cloud features controlled by `NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION` |
| **OSS Self-Hosted** | Not set | Core open-source features only |
| **EE Self-Hosted** | License key string | Enterprise features enabled |
**Enterprise Features Controlled:**
When `LANGFUSE_EE_LICENSE_KEY` is set and valid:
- SSO integrations (custom OIDC, SAML)
- Advanced RBAC
- Audit logging
- Custom branding
- SLA support
- Advanced security features
**Usage Pattern:**
```typescript
import { env } from "@/src/env.mjs";
// Check if EE license is present
if (env.LANGFUSE_EE_LICENSE_KEY) {
// Validate license
const isValidLicense = await validateEELicense(env.LANGFUSE_EE_LICENSE_KEY);
if (isValidLicense) {
// Enable EE features
enableCustomSSO();
enableAdvancedRBAC();
}
}
```
**Example Configuration:**
```bash
# OSS self-hosted (no license)
# LANGFUSE_EE_LICENSE_KEY not set
# EE self-hosted
LANGFUSE_EE_LICENSE_KEY=ee_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Langfuse Cloud (uses region instead)
NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION=US
# LANGFUSE_EE_LICENSE_KEY not used
```
### Other Important Variables
**DOCKER_BUILD**
```typescript
// Skip validation during Docker builds
skipValidation: process.env.DOCKER_BUILD === "1";
```
**Purpose:** Docker builds happen before runtime env vars are available, so validation must be skipped.
**SALT**
```typescript
SALT: z.string({
required_error: "A strong Salt is required to encrypt API keys securely.",
});
```
**Purpose:** Required for encrypting API keys in database. Must be set in production.
**ENCRYPTION_KEY**
```typescript
ENCRYPTION_KEY: z.string().length(64, "Must be 256 bits, 64 hex characters");
```
**Purpose:** Optional 256-bit key for encrypting sensitive database fields.
**Generate:** `openssl rand -hex 32`
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Always Import from env.mjs/env.ts
```typescript
// ❌ NEVER DO THIS
const dbUrl = process.env.DATABASE_URL;
// ✅ ALWAYS DO THIS
import { env } from "@/src/env.mjs";
const dbUrl = env.DATABASE_URL; // Type-safe, validated
```
### 2. Use Appropriate Import Path
```typescript
// In web package
import { env } from "@/src/env.mjs";
// In worker package
import { env } from "./env";
// In shared package
import { env } from "@langfuse/shared/src/env";
```
### 3. Client Variables Must Start with NEXT*PUBLIC*
```typescript
// ❌ Won't work in browser
API_KEY: z.string(); // in server config
// ✅ Accessible in browser
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_KEY: z.string(); // in client config
```
### 4. Provide Sensible Defaults for Development
```typescript
PORT: z.coerce.number().positive().default(3030),
NODE_ENV: z.enum(["development", "test", "production"]).default("development"),
REDIS_PORT: z.coerce.number().positive().default(6379),
```
### 5. Use Coercion for Numbers
```typescript
// .env files are always strings
PORT: z.coerce.number(); // Converts "3000" to 3000
```
### 6. Transform Complex Values
```typescript
// Split comma-separated values
LANGFUSE_LOG_PROPAGATED_HEADERS: z.string().optional().transform((s) =>
s ? s.split(",").map((s) => s.toLowerCase().trim()) : []
),
// Parse project:rate pairs
LANGFUSE_INGESTION_PROCESSING_SAMPLED_PROJECTS: z.string().optional().transform((val) => {
const map = new Map<string, number>();
val?.split(",").forEach(part => {
const [projectId, rate] = part.split(":");
map.set(projectId, parseFloat(rate));
});
return map;
}),
```
### 7. Validation at Startup
All environment variables are validated when the application starts. Invalid configuration will cause immediate failure with clear error messages:
```bash
❌ Validation error:
- SALT: Required
- CLICKHOUSE_URL: Invalid url
- PORT: Number must be less than or equal to 65536
```
### 8. Skip Validation in Docker Builds
Always include the Docker build escape hatch:
```typescript
export const env =
process.env.DOCKER_BUILD === "1"
? (process.env as any)
: EnvSchema.parse(removeEmptyEnvVariables(process.env));
```
### 9. Use removeEmptyEnvVariables Helper
Treats empty strings as undefined:
```typescript
import { removeEmptyEnvVariables } from "@langfuse/shared";
EnvSchema.parse(removeEmptyEnvVariables(process.env));
```
This prevents errors from `.env` files with empty values:
```bash
# .env
OPTIONAL_VAR= # Treated as undefined, not empty string
```

## Database Architecture Overview
Langfuse uses a **dual database architecture**:
| Database | Technology | Purpose | Access Pattern |
| -------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **PostgreSQL** | Prisma ORM | Transactional data, relational data, CRUD operations | Type-safe ORM with migrations |
| **ClickHouse** | Direct SQL client | Analytics data, high-volume traces/observations, aggregations | Raw SQL queries with streaming support |
| **Redis** | ioredis | Queues (BullMQ), caching, rate limiting | Direct client access |
**Key Principle**: Use PostgreSQL for transactional data and relationships. Use ClickHouse for high-volume analytics and time-series data.
**⚠️ Important**: All queries must filter by `project_id` (or `projectId`) to ensure proper data isolation between tenants. This is essential for the multi-tenant architecture.
---
## PostgreSQL with Prisma
### Import Pattern
```typescript
import { prisma } from "@langfuse/shared/src/db";
// Direct access to Prisma client
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({ where: { id } });
```
**Important**: Always import from `@langfuse/shared/src/db`, not `@prisma/client` directly.
### Common CRUD Operations
**⚠️ ALWAYS include `projectId` in WHERE clauses** for project-scoped data:
```typescript
// Create
const project = await prisma.project.create({
data: {
name: "My Project",
orgId: organizationId,
},
});
// ✅ GOOD: Read with projectId filter
const trace = await prisma.trace.findUnique({
where: { id: traceId, projectId }, // ← Always include projectId for tenant isolation
include: {
scores: true,
project: { select: { id: true, name: true } },
},
});
// ❌ BAD: Missing projectId filter
// const trace = await prisma.trace.findUnique({
// where: { id: traceId }, // ← Missing projectId!
// });
// Update
await prisma.user.update({
where: { id: userId },
data: { lastLogin: new Date() },
});
// ✅ GOOD: Delete with projectId
await prisma.apiKey.delete({
where: { id: apiKeyId, projectId }, // ← Always include projectId
});
// ✅ GOOD: Count with projectId
const traceCount = await prisma.trace.count({
where: { projectId, userId }, // ← Always include projectId
});
```
### Transactions
Use Prisma interactive transactions for operations that must be atomic:
```typescript
const result = await prisma.$transaction(async (tx) => {
const user = await tx.user.create({ data: userData });
const project = await tx.project.create({
data: {
name: "Default Project",
orgId: user.id,
},
});
await tx.projectMembership.create({
data: {
userId: user.id,
projectId: project.id,
role: "OWNER",
},
});
return { user, project };
});
```
**Transaction options:**
```typescript
await prisma.$transaction(
async (tx) => {
// Transaction logic
},
{
maxWait: 5000, // Max time to wait for transaction to start (ms)
timeout: 10000, // Max time transaction can run (ms)
},
);
```
### Query Optimization
**Use `select` to limit fields:**
```typescript
// ❌ Fetches all fields (including large JSON columns)
const traces = await prisma.trace.findMany({ where: { projectId } });
// ✅ Only fetch needed fields
const traces = await prisma.trace.findMany({
where: { projectId },
select: {
id: true,
name: true,
timestamp: true,
userId: true,
},
});
```
**Prevent N+1 queries with `include`:**
```typescript
// ❌ N+1 Query Problem
const projects = await prisma.project.findMany();
for (const project of projects) {
// N additional queries
const memberCount = await prisma.projectMembership.count({
where: { projectId: project.id },
});
}
// ✅ Use include or aggregation
const projects = await prisma.project.findMany({
include: {
members: { select: { userId: true, role: true } },
},
});
```
**Pagination:**
```typescript
const PAGE_SIZE = 50;
const traces = await prisma.trace.findMany({
where: { projectId },
orderBy: { timestamp: "desc" },
take: PAGE_SIZE,
skip: page * PAGE_SIZE,
});
```
## ClickHouse with Direct Client
### Import Pattern
```typescript
import { queryClickhouse } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/repositories/clickhouse";
import { clickhouseClient } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/clickhouse/client";
```
### ClickHouse Client Singleton
ClickHouse uses a singleton client manager that reuses connections:
```typescript
import { clickhouseClient } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/clickhouse/client";
// Get client (automatically reuses existing connection)
const client = clickhouseClient();
// For read-only queries (uses read replica if configured)
const client = clickhouseClient(undefined, "ReadOnly");
```
### Query Patterns
ClickHouse queries use **raw SQL** with parameterized queries. Parameters use `{paramName: Type}` syntax:
**⚠️ Important**: All ClickHouse queries must include `project_id` filter to ensure proper tenant isolation.
**Simple query:**
```typescript
import { queryClickhouse } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/repositories/clickhouse";
// ✅ GOOD: Always filter by project_id
const rows = await queryClickhouse<{ id: string; name: string }>({
query: `
SELECT id, name, timestamp
FROM traces
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String} -- ← REQUIRED: Always filter by project_id
AND timestamp >= {startTime: DateTime64(3)}
ORDER BY timestamp DESC
LIMIT {limit: UInt32}
`,
params: {
projectId, // ← Required for tenant isolation
startTime: convertDateToClickhouseDateTime(startDate),
limit: 100,
},
tags: { feature: "tracing", type: "trace" },
});
// ❌ BAD: Missing project_id filter
// const rows = await queryClickhouse({
// query: `SELECT * FROM traces WHERE timestamp >= {startTime: DateTime64(3)}`,
// params: { startTime },
// });
```
**Streaming query (for large result sets):**
```typescript
import { queryClickhouseStream } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/repositories/clickhouse";
// Stream results to avoid loading all rows in memory
for await (const row of queryClickhouseStream<ObservationRecordReadType>({
query: `
SELECT *
FROM observations
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String}
AND start_time >= {startTime: DateTime64(3)}
`,
params: { projectId, startTime },
})) {
// Process row by row
await processObservation(row);
}
```
**Upsert (insert) operation:**
```typescript
import { upsertClickhouse } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/repositories/clickhouse";
await upsertClickhouse({
table: "traces",
records: [
{
id: traceId,
project_id: projectId,
timestamp: new Date(),
name: "API Call",
user_id: userId,
// ... other fields
},
],
eventBodyMapper: (record) => ({
// Transform record for event log
id: record.id,
name: record.name,
// ... other fields
}),
tags: { feature: "ingestion", type: "trace" },
});
```
**DDL/Administrative commands:**
```typescript
import { commandClickhouse } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/repositories/clickhouse";
// Create table, alter schema, etc.
await commandClickhouse({
query: `
ALTER TABLE traces
ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS new_field String
`,
tags: { feature: "migration" },
});
```
### ClickHouse Type Mapping
| JavaScript Type | ClickHouse Param Type |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| `string` | `String` |
| `number` | `UInt32`, `Int64`, `Float64` |
| `Date` | `DateTime64(3)` (use `convertDateToClickhouseDateTime()`) |
| `boolean` | `UInt8` (0 or 1) |
| `string[]` | `Array(String)` |
**Date handling:**
```typescript
import { convertDateToClickhouseDateTime } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/clickhouse/client";
const params = {
startTime: convertDateToClickhouseDateTime(new Date()),
};
```
### ClickHouse Query Best Practices
**1. Always filter by `project_id` for tenant isolation:**
```typescript
// ✅ CORRECT: project_id filter is required
const query = `
SELECT *
FROM traces
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String} -- ← Required for tenant isolation
AND timestamp >= {startTime: DateTime64(3)}
`;
// ❌ WRONG: Missing project_id filter
// const query = `
// SELECT * FROM traces WHERE timestamp >= {startTime: DateTime64(3)}
// `;
```
**Why this is important:**
- Langfuse is multi-tenant - each project's data must be isolated
- The `project_id` filter ensures queries only access data from the intended tenant
- All queries on project-scoped tables (traces, observations, scores, sessions, etc.) must filter by `project_id`
**2. Use LIMIT BY for deduplication:**
```typescript
// Get latest version of each trace
const query = `
SELECT *
FROM traces
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String} -- ← Always include project_id
ORDER BY event_ts DESC
LIMIT 1 BY id, project_id
`;
```
**3. Use time-based filtering for performance:**
```typescript
// Combine project_id filter with timestamp for optimal performance
const query = `
SELECT *
FROM observations
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String} -- ← Required for tenant isolation
AND start_time >= {startTime: DateTime64(3)} -- ← Improves performance
AND start_time < {endTime: DateTime64(3)}
`;
```
**4. Use CTEs for complex queries (still require `project_id`):**
```typescript
const query = `
WITH observations_agg AS (
SELECT
trace_id,
count() as observation_count,
sum(total_cost) as total_cost
FROM observations
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String} -- ← Filter in CTE
GROUP BY trace_id
)
SELECT
t.id,
t.name,
o.observation_count,
o.total_cost
FROM traces t
LEFT JOIN observations_agg o ON t.id = o.trace_id
WHERE t.project_id = {projectId: String} -- ← Filter in main query
`;
```
**Note**: When using CTEs or subqueries, ensure `project_id` filter is applied at each level.
**Error handling with retries:**
ClickHouse queries automatically retry on network errors (socket hang up). Custom error handling for resource limits:
```typescript
import {
queryClickhouse,
ClickHouseResourceError,
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/repositories/clickhouse";
try {
const rows = await queryClickhouse({ query, params });
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof ClickHouseResourceError) {
// Memory limit, timeout, or overcommit error
throw new Error(ClickHouseResourceError.ERROR_ADVICE_MESSAGE);
}
throw error;
}
```
---
## Repository Pattern
Langfuse uses repositories in `packages/shared/src/server/repositories/` for complex data access patterns.
### When to Use Repositories
**Use repositories when:**
- Complex ClickHouse queries with CTEs, aggregations, or joins
- Query used in multiple places (DRY principle)
- Need data transformation/converters (DB → domain models)
- Building reusable query logic with filters
**Use direct Prisma/ClickHouse for:**
- Simple CRUD operations
- One-off queries
- Prototyping (refactor to repository later)
### Repository Examples
**Trace repository (ClickHouse):**
```typescript
// packages/shared/src/server/repositories/traces.ts
export const getTracesByIds = async (
projectId: string,
traceIds: string[],
): Promise<TraceRecordReadType[]> => {
const rows = await queryClickhouse<TraceRecordReadType>({
query: `
SELECT *
FROM traces
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String}
AND id IN ({traceIds: Array(String)})
ORDER BY event_ts DESC
LIMIT 1 BY id, project_id
`,
params: { projectId, traceIds },
tags: { feature: "tracing", type: "trace" },
});
return rows.map(convertClickhouseToDomain);
};
```
**Score repository (PostgreSQL + ClickHouse):**
```typescript
// Repositories can query both databases
export const getScoresByTraceId = async (
projectId: string,
traceId: string,
) => {
// Use ClickHouse for analytics
const clickhouseScores = await queryClickhouse<ScoreRecordReadType>({
query: `
SELECT *
FROM scores
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String}
AND trace_id = {traceId: String}
`,
params: { projectId, traceId },
});
// Use Prisma for config data
const scoreConfigs = await prisma.scoreConfig.findMany({
where: { projectId },
});
return enrichScoresWithConfigs(clickhouseScores, scoreConfigs);
};
```
---
## When to Use Which Database
| Use Case | Database | Reasoning |
| -------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| User accounts, projects, API keys | PostgreSQL | Transactional data with strong consistency |
| Prompt management, dataset definitions | PostgreSQL | Configuration data with relations |
| Project settings, RBAC permissions | PostgreSQL | Small, frequently updated data |
| Traces, observations, events | ClickHouse | High-volume time-series data |
| Score aggregations, analytics queries | ClickHouse | Fast aggregations over millions of rows |
| Usage metrics, cost calculations | ClickHouse | Analytical queries with GROUP BY |
| Exports, large dataset queries | ClickHouse | Streaming support for large result sets |
**Decision flow:**
1. Is it high-volume time-series data? → **ClickHouse**
2. Does it need aggregation over millions of rows? → **ClickHouse**
3. Is it transactional data with relationships? → **PostgreSQL**
4. Is it configuration or user data? → **PostgreSQL**
5. Is it frequently updated? → **PostgreSQL**
6. Is it append-only analytics data? → **ClickHouse**
### Project-Scoped vs Global Tables
**Project-scoped tables (MUST filter by `project_id`):**
- `traces` - All trace queries require `project_id`
- `observations` - All observation queries require `project_id`
- `scores` - All score queries require `project_id`
- `events` - All event queries require `project_id`
- `dataset_run_items_rmt` - All dataset run queries require `project_id`
**Global tables (no `project_id` filter needed):**
- `users` - User management (use `id` for filtering)
- `organizations` - Organization data (use `id` for filtering)
- System configuration tables
**Example of correct filtering:**
```typescript
// ✅ CORRECT: Project-scoped query
const traces = await queryClickhouse({
query: `
SELECT * FROM traces
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String}
AND timestamp >= {startTime: DateTime64(3)}
`,
params: { projectId, startTime },
});
// ✅ CORRECT: Global table query (no project_id needed)
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
where: { id: userId },
});
// ❌ WRONG: Project-scoped query without project_id filter
// const traces = await queryClickhouse({
// query: `SELECT * FROM traces WHERE timestamp >= {startTime: DateTime64(3)}`,
// });
```
---
## Error Handling
### PostgreSQL (Prisma) Errors
```typescript
import { Prisma } from "@prisma/client";
import { prisma } from "@langfuse/shared/src/db";
try {
await prisma.user.create({ data: userData });
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof Prisma.PrismaClientKnownRequestError) {
// Unique constraint violation
if (error.code === "P2002") {
const target = error.meta?.target as string[];
throw new ConflictError(`${target?.join(", ")} already exists`);
}
// Foreign key constraint
if (error.code === "P2003") {
throw new ValidationError("Invalid reference");
}
// Record not found
if (error.code === "P2025") {
throw new NotFoundError("Record not found");
}
// Record required to connect not found
if (error.code === "P2018") {
throw new ValidationError("Related record not found");
}
}
// Unknown error
logger.error("Prisma error", { error });
throw error;
}
```
**Common Prisma error codes:**
| Code | Meaning | Typical Cause |
| -------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `P2002` | Unique constraint violation | Duplicate email, API key, etc. |
| `P2003` | Foreign key constraint | Referenced record doesn't exist |
| `P2025` | Record not found | Update/delete of non-existent record |
| `P2018` | Required relation not found | Connect to non-existent related record |
### ClickHouse Errors
```typescript
import {
queryClickhouse,
ClickHouseResourceError,
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server/repositories/clickhouse";
try {
const rows = await queryClickhouse({ query, params });
} catch (error) {
// ClickHouse resource errors (memory limit, timeout, overcommit)
if (error instanceof ClickHouseResourceError) {
logger.warn("ClickHouse resource error", {
errorType: error.errorType, // "MEMORY_LIMIT" | "OVERCOMMIT" | "TIMEOUT"
message: error.message,
});
// User-friendly error message
throw new BadRequestError(ClickHouseResourceError.ERROR_ADVICE_MESSAGE);
}
// Network/connection errors are automatically retried
logger.error("ClickHouse error", { error });
throw error;
}
```
**ClickHouse error types:**
| Error Type | Discriminator | Meaning | Solution |
| --------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `MEMORY_LIMIT` | "memory limit exceeded" | Query used too much memory | Use more specific filters or shorter time range |
| `OVERCOMMIT` | "OvercommitTracker" | Memory overcommit limit hit | Reduce query complexity or result set size |
| `TIMEOUT` | "Timeout", "timed out" | Query took too long | Add filters, reduce time range, or optimize query |
**ClickHouse retries:**
ClickHouse queries automatically retry network errors (socket hang up) with exponential backoff. Configure retry behavior:
```typescript
// In packages/shared/src/env.ts
LANGFUSE_CLICKHOUSE_QUERY_MAX_ATTEMPTS: z.coerce.number().positive().default(3)
```

## tRPC Middleware
**File:** `web/src/server/api/trpc.ts`
tRPC middleware in Langfuse is composable and type-safe. Each middleware enriches the context and provides guarantees to subsequent middleware.
### Core tRPC Middlewares
**1. Error Handling Middleware (`withErrorHandling`)**
Intercepts all errors and transforms them into user-friendly tRPC errors:
```typescript
const withErrorHandling = t.middleware(async ({ ctx, next }) => {
const res = await next({ ctx });
if (!res.ok) {
if (res.error.cause instanceof ClickHouseResourceError) {
// Surface ClickHouse resource errors with advice message
res.error = new TRPCError({
code: "SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE",
message: ClickHouseResourceError.ERROR_ADVICE_MESSAGE,
});
} else {
// Transform 5xx errors to not expose internals
const { code, httpStatus } = resolveError(res.error);
const isSafeToExpose = httpStatus >= 400 && httpStatus < 500;
res.error = new TRPCError({
code,
cause: null, // do not expose stack traces
message: isSafeToExpose
? res.error.message
: "Internal error. We have been notified and are working on it.",
});
}
}
return res;
});
```
**2. OpenTelemetry Instrumentation (`withOtelInstrumentation`)**
Propagates OpenTelemetry context with Langfuse-specific baggage:
```typescript
const withOtelInstrumentation = t.middleware(async (opts) => {
const actualInput = await opts.getRawInput();
const baggageCtx = contextWithLangfuseProps({
headers: opts.ctx.headers,
userId: opts.ctx.session?.user?.id,
projectId: (actualInput as Record<string, string>)?.projectId,
});
return opentelemetry.context.with(baggageCtx, () => opts.next());
});
```
**3. Authentication Middleware (`enforceUserIsAuthed`)**
Ensures user is logged in via NextAuth session:
```typescript
const enforceUserIsAuthed = t.middleware(({ ctx, next }) => {
if (!ctx.session || !ctx.session.user) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: "UNAUTHORIZED" });
}
return next({
ctx: {
// infers the `session` as non-nullable
session: { ...ctx.session, user: ctx.session.user },
},
});
});
```
**4. Project Membership Middleware (`enforceUserIsAuthedAndProjectMember`)**
Validates that the user is a member of the project specified in input:
```typescript
const enforceUserIsAuthedAndProjectMember = t.middleware(async (opts) => {
const { ctx, next } = opts;
if (!ctx.session || !ctx.session.user) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: "UNAUTHORIZED" });
}
const actualInput = await opts.getRawInput();
const parsedInput = inputProjectSchema.safeParse(actualInput);
if (!parsedInput.success) {
throw new TRPCError({
code: "BAD_REQUEST",
message: "Invalid input, projectId is required",
});
}
const projectId = parsedInput.data.projectId;
const sessionProject = ctx.session.user.organizations
.flatMap((org) => org.projects.map((project) => ({ ...project, organization: org })))
.find((project) => project.id === projectId);
if (!sessionProject) {
throw new TRPCError({
code: "UNAUTHORIZED",
message: "User is not a member of this project",
});
}
return next({
ctx: {
session: {
...ctx.session,
user: ctx.session.user,
orgId: sessionProject.organization.id,
orgRole: sessionProject.organization.role,
projectId: projectId,
projectRole: sessionProject.role,
},
},
});
});
```
**5. Organization Membership Middleware (`enforceIsAuthedAndOrgMember`)**
Validates organization membership:
```typescript
const enforceIsAuthedAndOrgMember = t.middleware(async (opts) => {
const { ctx, next } = opts;
if (!ctx.session || !ctx.session.user) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: "UNAUTHORIZED" });
}
const actualInput = await opts.getRawInput();
const result = inputOrganizationSchema.safeParse(actualInput);
if (!result.success) {
throw new TRPCError({
code: "BAD_REQUEST",
message: "Invalid input, orgId is required",
});
}
const orgId = result.data.orgId;
const sessionOrg = ctx.session.user.organizations.find((org) => org.id === orgId);
if (!sessionOrg && ctx.session.user.admin !== true) {
throw new TRPCError({
code: "UNAUTHORIZED",
message: "User is not a member of this organization",
});
}
return next({
ctx: {
session: {
...ctx.session,
user: ctx.session.user,
orgId: orgId,
orgRole: ctx.session.user.admin === true ? Role.OWNER : sessionOrg!.role,
},
},
});
});
```
**6. Trace Access Middleware (`enforceTraceAccess`)**
Special middleware for trace-level routes that supports public traces:
```typescript
const enforceTraceAccess = t.middleware(async (opts) => {
const { ctx, next } = opts;
const actualInput = await opts.getRawInput();
const result = inputTraceSchema.safeParse(actualInput);
if (!result.success) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: "BAD_REQUEST", message: "Invalid input" });
}
const trace = await getTraceById({
traceId: result.data.traceId,
projectId: result.data.projectId,
timestamp: result.data.timestamp ?? undefined,
});
if (!trace) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: "NOT_FOUND", message: "Trace not found" });
}
const sessionProject = ctx.session?.user?.organizations
.flatMap((org) => org.projects)
.find(({ id }) => id === result.data.projectId);
// Allow access if:
// 1. User is a project member
// 2. Trace is public
// 3. User is admin
if (!trace.public && !sessionProject && ctx.session?.user?.admin !== true) {
throw new TRPCError({
code: "UNAUTHORIZED",
message: "User is not a member of this project and this trace is not public",
});
}
return next({
ctx: {
session: { ...ctx.session, projectRole: sessionProject?.role },
trace: trace, // pass the trace to avoid refetching
},
});
});
```
### tRPC Procedure Types
Langfuse exports composed procedures with middleware chains:
```typescript
// 1. Public procedure (no auth required)
export const publicProcedure = withOtelTracingProcedure.use(withErrorHandling);
// 2. Authenticated procedure (NextAuth session required)
export const authenticatedProcedure = withOtelTracingProcedure
.use(withErrorHandling)
.use(enforceUserIsAuthed);
// 3. Project-scoped procedure (project membership required)
export const protectedProjectProcedure = withOtelTracingProcedure
.use(withErrorHandling)
.use(enforceUserIsAuthedAndProjectMember);
// 4. Organization-scoped procedure
export const protectedOrganizationProcedure = withOtelTracingProcedure
.use(withErrorHandling)
.use(enforceIsAuthedAndOrgMember);
// 5. Trace access procedure (public traces supported)
export const protectedGetTraceProcedure = withOtelTracingProcedure
.use(withErrorHandling)
.use(enforceTraceAccess);
// 6. Session access procedure
export const protectedGetSessionProcedure = withOtelTracingProcedure
.use(withErrorHandling)
.use(enforceSessionAccess);
// 7. Admin API key procedure (for admin operations)
export const adminProcedure = withOtelTracingProcedure
.use(withErrorHandling)
.use(enforceAdminAuth);
```
---
## Public API Middleware
**Files:** `web/src/features/public-api/server/`
### withMiddlewares Pattern
Wraps all public API routes with CORS, error handling, and OpenTelemetry:
```typescript
export function withMiddlewares(handlers: Handlers) {
return async (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
const ctx = contextWithLangfuseProps({ headers: req.headers });
return opentelemetry.context.with(ctx, async () => {
try {
// 1. CORS middleware
await runMiddleware(req, res, cors);
// 2. HTTP method routing
const method = req.method as HttpMethod;
if (!handlers[method]) throw new MethodNotAllowedError();
// 3. Execute handler
return await handlers[method](req, res);
} catch (error) {
// 4. Error handling
if (error instanceof BaseError) {
if (error.httpCode >= 500) traceException(error);
return res.status(error.httpCode).json({
message: error.message,
error: error.name,
});
}
if (error instanceof ClickHouseResourceError) {
return res.status(524).json({
message: ClickHouseResourceError.ERROR_ADVICE_MESSAGE,
error: "Request is taking too long to process.",
});
}
if (isZodError(error)) {
return res.status(400).json({
message: "Invalid request data",
error: error.issues,
});
}
traceException(error);
return res.status(500).json({
message: "Internal Server Error",
error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown error",
});
}
});
};
}
```
**Usage:**
```typescript
// web/src/pages/api/public/datasets/[datasetName]/items.ts
export default withMiddlewares({
GET: getDatasetItemsHandler,
POST: createDatasetItemHandler,
});
```
### createAuthedProjectAPIRoute Pattern
Factory function for authenticated public API routes with:
- Authentication (Basic auth or Admin API key)
- Rate limiting
- Input/output validation (Zod)
- OpenTelemetry context
```typescript
export const createAuthedProjectAPIRoute = <TQuery, TBody, TResponse>(
routeConfig: RouteConfig<TQuery, TBody, TResponse>
) => {
return async (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
// 1. Authentication (verifyAuth)
const auth = await verifyAuth(req, routeConfig.isAdminApiKeyAuthAllowed || false);
// 2. Rate limiting
const rateLimitResponse = await RateLimitService.getInstance().rateLimitRequest(
auth.scope,
routeConfig.rateLimitResource || "public-api"
);
if (rateLimitResponse?.isRateLimited()) {
return rateLimitResponse.sendRestResponseIfLimited(res);
}
// 3. Input validation
const query = routeConfig.querySchema
? routeConfig.querySchema.parse(req.query)
: {};
const body = routeConfig.bodySchema
? routeConfig.bodySchema.parse(req.body)
: {};
// 4. Execute with OpenTelemetry context
const ctx = contextWithLangfuseProps({
headers: req.headers,
projectId: auth.scope.projectId,
});
return opentelemetry.context.with(ctx, async () => {
const response = await routeConfig.fn({ query, body, req, res, auth });
// 5. Response validation (dev only)
if (env.NODE_ENV === "development" && routeConfig.responseSchema) {
const parsingResult = routeConfig.responseSchema.safeParse(response);
if (!parsingResult.success) {
logger.error("Response validation failed:", parsingResult.error);
}
}
res.status(routeConfig.successStatusCode || 200).json(response);
});
};
};
```
**Usage:**
```typescript
// web/src/pages/api/public/traces/[traceId].ts
export default createAuthedProjectAPIRoute({
name: "Get Trace",
querySchema: GetTraceV1Query,
responseSchema: GetTraceV1Response,
fn: async ({ query, auth }) => {
const trace = await getTraceById({
traceId: query.traceId,
projectId: auth.scope.projectId,
});
return transformTraceToApiResponse(trace);
},
});
```
---
## Authentication Patterns
### tRPC Authentication (NextAuth)
tRPC uses NextAuth sessions stored in JWT cookies:
```typescript
// Context creation with session
export const createTRPCContext = async (opts: CreateNextContextOptions) => {
const { req, res } = opts;
const session = await getServerAuthSession({ req, res });
addUserToSpan({
userId: session?.user?.id,
email: session?.user?.email ?? undefined,
});
return {
session,
headers: req.headers,
prisma,
DB,
};
};
```
**Session types:**
```typescript
// Base authenticated context
export type AuthedContext = {
session: { user: NonNullable<Session["user"]> };
};
// Project-scoped context
export type ProjectAuthedContext = {
session: AuthedContext["session"] & {
orgId: string;
orgRole: Role;
projectId: string;
projectRole: Role;
};
};
```
### Public API Authentication
Public APIs use **Basic Auth** with API keys:
```typescript
async function verifyBasicAuth(authHeader: string | undefined) {
const regularAuth = await new ApiAuthService(prisma, redis)
.verifyAuthHeaderAndReturnScope(authHeader);
if (!regularAuth.validKey) {
throw { status: 401, message: regularAuth.error };
}
if (regularAuth.scope.accessLevel !== "project") {
throw { status: 401, message: "Access denied - need basic auth with secret key" };
}
return regularAuth;
}
```
**Admin API Key Authentication** (self-hosted only):
```typescript
async function verifyAdminApiKeyAuth(req: NextApiRequest) {
// Requires:
// 1. Authorization: Bearer <ADMIN_API_KEY>
// 2. x-langfuse-admin-api-key: <ADMIN_API_KEY>
// 3. x-langfuse-project-id: <project-id>
if (env.NEXT_PUBLIC_LANGFUSE_CLOUD_REGION) {
throw { status: 403, message: "Admin API key auth not available on Langfuse Cloud" };
}
const adminApiKey = env.ADMIN_API_KEY;
const bearerToken = req.headers.authorization?.replace("Bearer ", "");
const adminApiKeyHeader = req.headers["x-langfuse-admin-api-key"];
// Timing-safe comparison
const isValid =
crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(bearerToken), Buffer.from(adminApiKey)) &&
crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(adminApiKeyHeader), Buffer.from(adminApiKey));
if (!isValid) throw { status: 401, message: "Invalid admin API key" };
const projectId = req.headers["x-langfuse-project-id"];
const project = await prisma.project.findUnique({ where: { id: projectId } });
if (!project) throw { status: 404, message: "Project not found" };
return { validKey: true, scope: { projectId, accessLevel: "project" } };
}
```
---
## Error Handling Middleware
### tRPC Error Transformation
All tRPC errors go through `withErrorHandling` middleware:
**Error types handled:**
1. **ClickHouseResourceError**`SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE` (524)
2. **BaseError** → Preserves httpCode and message
3. **5xx errors** → Sanitized as "Internal error" (hides stack traces)
4. **4xx errors** → Original error message preserved
**Example:**
```typescript
if (!res.ok) {
if (res.error.cause instanceof ClickHouseResourceError) {
res.error = new TRPCError({
code: "SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE",
message: ClickHouseResourceError.ERROR_ADVICE_MESSAGE,
});
} else {
const { code, httpStatus } = resolveError(res.error);
const isSafeToExpose = httpStatus >= 400 && httpStatus < 500;
res.error = new TRPCError({
code,
cause: null,
message: isSafeToExpose ? res.error.message : "Internal error.",
});
}
}
```
### Public API Error Handling
Public API uses `withMiddlewares` for error handling:
```typescript
catch (error) {
// 1. BaseError (custom application errors)
if (error instanceof BaseError) {
if (error.httpCode >= 500) traceException(error);
return res.status(error.httpCode).json({
message: error.message,
error: error.name,
});
}
// 2. ClickHouseResourceError (query timeouts, memory limits)
if (error instanceof ClickHouseResourceError) {
return res.status(524).json({
message: ClickHouseResourceError.ERROR_ADVICE_MESSAGE,
error: "Request is taking too long to process.",
});
}
// 3. Zod validation errors
if (isZodError(error)) {
return res.status(400).json({
message: "Invalid request data",
error: error.issues,
});
}
// 4. Prisma errors
if (isPrismaException(error)) {
traceException(error);
return res.status(500).json({
message: "Internal Server Error",
error: "An unknown error occurred",
});
}
// 5. Unknown errors
traceException(error);
return res.status(500).json({
message: "Internal Server Error",
error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown error",
});
}
```
---
## OpenTelemetry Instrumentation
All requests (tRPC and public API) propagate OpenTelemetry context with Langfuse-specific baggage.
### Context Propagation Pattern
```typescript
import { contextWithLangfuseProps } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
import * as opentelemetry from "@opentelemetry/api";
// Create context with Langfuse baggage
const ctx = contextWithLangfuseProps({
headers: req.headers,
userId: session?.user?.id,
projectId: input?.projectId,
});
// Execute with context
return opentelemetry.context.with(ctx, async () => {
// All instrumented code inside here will have access to baggage
return await handler();
});
```
**Baggage includes:**
- `userId` - User ID from session
- `projectId` - Project ID from input
- `headers` - Request headers for trace propagation
### tRPC Instrumentation
```typescript
const withOtelInstrumentation = t.middleware(async (opts) => {
const actualInput = await opts.getRawInput();
const baggageCtx = contextWithLangfuseProps({
headers: opts.ctx.headers,
userId: opts.ctx.session?.user?.id,
projectId: (actualInput as Record<string, string>)?.projectId,
});
return opentelemetry.context.with(baggageCtx, () => opts.next());
});
// Used with Baselime tracing
const withOtelTracingProcedure = t.procedure
.use(withOtelInstrumentation)
.use(tracing({ collectInput: true, collectResult: true }));
```
---
## Composable Procedures
tRPC procedures are composed by chaining middleware:
### Composition Pattern
```typescript
// Base procedure with tracing + error handling
const baseProcedure = withOtelTracingProcedure.use(withErrorHandling);
// Add authentication
const authedProcedure = baseProcedure.use(enforceUserIsAuthed);
// Add project scoping
const projectProcedure = authedProcedure.use(enforceUserIsAuthedAndProjectMember);
```
### Using Procedures in Routers
```typescript
import { protectedProjectProcedure } from "@/src/server/api/trpc";
export const tracesRouter = createTRPCRouter({
// Input automatically validated against Zod schema
all: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(
z.object({
projectId: z.string(),
page: z.number().optional(),
limit: z.number().optional(),
})
)
.query(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
// ctx.session.projectId is guaranteed to exist
// ctx.session.projectRole contains user's role
const traces = await getTraces({
projectId: input.projectId,
page: input.page ?? 0,
limit: input.limit ?? 50,
});
return traces;
}),
byId: protectedGetTraceProcedure
.input(
z.object({
traceId: z.string(),
projectId: z.string(),
timestamp: z.date().nullish(),
})
)
.query(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
// ctx.trace is guaranteed to exist (fetched by middleware)
// No need to refetch
return ctx.trace;
}),
});
```
### Middleware Execution Order
Middleware executes in the order it's chained:
```typescript
protectedProjectProcedure
.use(withErrorHandling) // 1. Wraps entire execution
.use(enforceUserIsAuthed) // 2. Validates session exists
.use(enforceUserIsAuthedAndProjectMember) // 3. Validates project membership
.input(schema) // 4. Validates input
.query(async ({ input, ctx }) => { // 5. Executes query
// ...
});
```
**Context enrichment:**
Each middleware can enrich the context:
```typescript
// After enforceUserIsAuthed:
ctx.session.user // NonNullable<User>
// After enforceUserIsAuthedAndProjectMember:
ctx.session.projectId // string
ctx.session.projectRole // Role (OWNER | ADMIN | MEMBER | VIEWER)
ctx.session.orgId // string
ctx.session.orgRole // Role
// After enforceTraceAccess:
ctx.trace // TraceRecord (pre-fetched)
```

## Architecture Overview
Langfuse uses a **layered architecture** with clear separation of concerns:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ENTRY POINTS │
│ ┌──────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ tRPC Procedures │ │ Public REST API Routes │ │
│ │ (Internal UI API) │ │ (SDK/External API) │ │
│ └──────────────────────┘ └─────────────────────────┘ │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ REPOSITORY LAYER │
│ Complex queries, data transformation │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ DATABASE LAYER │
│ PostgreSQL (Prisma) + ClickHouse (Direct Client) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Key Principles
**Entry Points (Routes/Procedures):**
- ✅ Define routing and procedure signatures
- ✅ Handle authentication/authorization (via middleware)
- ✅ Validate input (Zod schemas)
- ✅ Delegate to services
- ✅ Return responses
**Entry Points should NEVER:**
- ❌ Contain business logic
- ❌ Access database directly
- ❌ Perform complex data transformations
- ❌ Make direct repository calls (use services)
**Services:**
- ✅ Contain business logic
- ✅ Orchestrate multiple operations
- ✅ Call repositories or Prisma/ClickHouse
- ✅ Handle complex workflows
- ❌ Should NOT know about HTTP, tRPC, or request/response objects
**Repositories:**
- ✅ Complex database queries
- ✅ Data transformation (DB → domain models)
- ✅ ClickHouse query builders
- ✅ Reusable query logic
- ❌ Should NOT contain business logic
---
## tRPC Routers
**Location:** `web/src/server/api/routers/`
tRPC routers define type-safe procedures for the internal UI. Each router groups related operations.
### Router Structure
**File:** `web/src/server/api/routers/scores.ts`
```typescript
import { z } from "zod/v4";
import { createTRPCRouter, protectedProjectProcedure } from "@/src/server/api/trpc";
import { paginationZod, singleFilter, orderBy } from "@langfuse/shared";
import {
getScoresUiTable,
getScoresUiCount,
upsertScore,
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
const ScoreAllOptions = z.object({
projectId: z.string(),
filter: z.array(singleFilter),
orderBy: orderBy,
...paginationZod,
});
export const scoresRouter = createTRPCRouter({
/**
* Get all scores for a project
*/
all: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(ScoreAllOptions)
.query(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
// Delegate to repository for data fetching
const clickhouseScoreData = await getScoresUiTable({
projectId: input.projectId,
filter: input.filter ?? [],
orderBy: input.orderBy,
limit: input.limit,
offset: input.page * input.limit,
});
// Delegate to Prisma for related data
const [jobExecutions, users] = await Promise.all([
ctx.prisma.jobExecution.findMany({
where: {
jobOutputScoreId: {
in: clickhouseScoreData.map((score) => score.id),
},
},
}),
ctx.prisma.user.findMany({
where: {
id: {
in: clickhouseScoreData
.map((s) => s.authorUserId)
.filter((id): id is string => id !== null),
},
},
}),
]);
// Transform and combine data
return clickhouseScoreData.map((score) => ({
...score,
jobConfigurationId:
jobExecutions.find((j) => j.jobOutputScoreId === score.id)
?.jobConfigurationId ?? null,
authorUserImage:
users.find((u) => u.id === score.authorUserId)?.image ?? null,
authorUserName:
users.find((u) => u.id === score.authorUserId)?.name ?? null,
}));
}),
/**
* Create or update score
*/
createAnnotationScore: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(CreateAnnotationScoreData)
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
// Validation
validateConfigAgainstBody(input);
// Delegate to repository
await upsertScore({
id: input.id ?? randomUUID(),
traceId: input.traceId,
projectId: input.projectId,
name: input.name,
value: input.value,
source: ScoreSource.ANNOTATION,
authorUserId: ctx.session.user.id,
comment: input.comment,
});
// Audit log
await auditLog({
session: ctx.session,
resourceType: "score",
resourceId: input.id,
action: "create",
});
return { success: true };
}),
});
```
**Key Points:**
- Use appropriate procedure type (`protectedProjectProcedure`, `authenticatedProcedure`, etc.)
- Define input schema with Zod (`.input()`)
- Use `.query()` for reads, `.mutation()` for writes
- Delegate to services/repositories for data access
- Keep procedures thin - no business logic
- Type-safe throughout (TypeScript infers types from Zod schemas)
### Registering Routers
**File:** `web/src/server/api/root.ts`
```typescript
import { createTRPCRouter } from "@/src/server/api/trpc";
import { scoresRouter } from "./routers/scores";
import { tracesRouter } from "./routers/traces";
import { dashboardRouter } from "@/src/features/dashboard/server/dashboard-router";
export const appRouter = createTRPCRouter({
scores: scoresRouter,
traces: tracesRouter,
dashboard: dashboardRouter,
// ... other routers
});
export type AppRouter = typeof appRouter;
```
**Calling from frontend:**
```typescript
// Type-safe client call
const { data, isLoading } = api.scores.all.useQuery({
projectId: "proj_123",
page: 0,
limit: 50,
filter: [],
orderBy: null,
});
```

## Public REST API Routes
**Location:** `web/src/pages/api/public/`
Public API routes use **Next.js file-based routing** and provide REST endpoints for SDKs and external integrations.
### File-based Routing
Next.js uses file system for routing:
```
web/src/pages/api/public/
├── scores/
│ ├── index.ts → GET/POST /api/public/scores
│ └── [scoreId].ts → GET/PATCH/DELETE /api/public/scores/:scoreId
├── traces/
│ ├── index.ts → GET /api/public/traces
│ └── [traceId].ts → GET /api/public/traces/:traceId
└── datasets/
└── [name]/
├── index.ts → GET/POST /api/public/datasets/:name
└── items/
└── index.ts → GET /api/public/datasets/:name/items
```
**Dynamic routes:**
- `[param].ts` → Single dynamic segment (e.g., `/api/public/scores/[scoreId].ts`)
- `[...param].ts` → Catch-all route (e.g., `/api/public/[...path].ts`)
### REST API Pattern
**File:** `web/src/pages/api/public/scores/index.ts`
```typescript
import { v4 } from "uuid";
import { createAuthedProjectAPIRoute } from "@/src/features/public-api/server/createAuthedProjectAPIRoute";
import { withMiddlewares } from "@/src/features/public-api/server/withMiddlewares";
import {
GetScoresQueryV1,
GetScoresResponseV1,
PostScoresBodyV1,
PostScoresResponseV1,
} from "@langfuse/shared";
import { eventTypes, processEventBatch } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
import { ScoresApiService } from "@/src/features/public-api/server/scores-api-service";
export default withMiddlewares({
// POST /api/public/scores
POST: createAuthedProjectAPIRoute({
name: "Create Score",
bodySchema: PostScoresBodyV1,
responseSchema: PostScoresResponseV1,
fn: async ({ body, auth, res }) => {
const event = {
id: v4(),
type: eventTypes.SCORE_CREATE,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
body,
};
if (!event.body.id) {
event.body.id = v4();
}
const result = await processEventBatch([event], auth);
if (result.errors.length > 0) {
const error = result.errors[0];
res.status(error.status).json({
message: error.error ?? error.message,
});
return { id: "" };
}
return { id: event.body.id };
},
}),
// GET /api/public/scores
GET: createAuthedProjectAPIRoute({
name: "Get Scores",
querySchema: GetScoresQueryV1,
responseSchema: GetScoresResponseV1,
fn: async ({ query, auth }) => {
const scoresApiService = new ScoresApiService("v1");
const [items, count] = await Promise.all([
scoresApiService.generateScoresForPublicApi({
projectId: auth.scope.projectId,
page: query.page,
limit: query.limit,
userId: query.userId,
name: query.name,
}),
scoresApiService.getScoresCountForPublicApi({
projectId: auth.scope.projectId,
userId: query.userId,
name: query.name,
}),
]);
return {
data: items,
meta: {
page: query.page,
limit: query.limit,
totalItems: count,
totalPages: Math.ceil(count / query.limit),
},
};
},
}),
});
```
**Key Points:**
- Use `withMiddlewares` for all public API routes (provides CORS, error handling, OpenTelemetry)
- Use `createAuthedProjectAPIRoute` for authenticated endpoints (handles auth, rate limiting, validation)
- Define separate handlers for each HTTP method
- Input/output validated with Zod schemas
- Delegate to services for business logic
### Simple Public Routes
For routes that don't need authentication:
```typescript
// web/src/pages/api/public/health.ts
import { withMiddlewares } from "@/src/features/public-api/server/withMiddlewares";
export default withMiddlewares({
GET: async (req, res) => {
res.status(200).json({ status: "ok" });
},
});
```
---
## Service Layer
**Location:** `web/src/features/*/server/` or `packages/shared/src/server/services/`
Services contain business logic and orchestrate operations. They're called by tRPC procedures and API routes.
### Service Pattern
**File:** `web/src/features/public-api/server/scores-api-service.ts`
```typescript
import {
_handleGenerateScoresForPublicApi,
_handleGetScoresCountForPublicApi,
type ScoreQueryType,
} from "@/src/features/public-api/server/scores";
import { _handleGetScoreById } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
export class ScoresApiService {
constructor(private readonly apiVersion: "v1" | "v2") {}
/**
* Get a specific score by ID
*/
async getScoreById({
projectId,
scoreId,
source,
}: {
projectId: string;
scoreId: string;
source?: ScoreSourceType;
}) {
return _handleGetScoreById({
projectId,
scoreId,
source,
scoreScope: this.apiVersion === "v1" ? "traces_only" : "all",
preferredClickhouseService: "ReadOnly",
});
}
/**
* Get list of scores with version-aware filtering
*/
async generateScoresForPublicApi(props: ScoreQueryType) {
return _handleGenerateScoresForPublicApi({
props,
scoreScope: this.apiVersion === "v1" ? "traces_only" : "all",
});
}
/**
* Get count of scores with version-aware filtering
*/
async getScoresCountForPublicApi(props: ScoreQueryType) {
return _handleGetScoresCountForPublicApi({
props,
scoreScope: this.apiVersion === "v1" ? "traces_only" : "all",
});
}
}
```
**Key Points:**
- Services contain business logic, not routing logic
- Services should NOT import tRPC or Next.js types
- Services can call repositories, Prisma, ClickHouse directly
- Services orchestrate multiple operations
- Services are reusable across tRPC and public API
### Where to Put Services
**Feature-specific services:**
```
web/src/features/
├── datasets/
│ └── server/
│ └── dataset-service.ts
├── evals/
│ └── server/
│ └── eval-service.ts
└── public-api/
└── server/
└── scores-api-service.ts
```
**Shared services:**
```
packages/shared/src/server/services/
├── SlackService.ts
├── DashboardService/
├── StorageService.ts
└── DefaultEvaluationModelService/
```
---
## Repository Layer
**Location:** `packages/shared/src/server/repositories/`
Repositories handle complex database queries, data transformation, and provide reusable query logic.
### Repository Structure
```
packages/shared/src/server/repositories/
├── traces.ts # Trace queries (ClickHouse)
├── observations.ts # Observation queries (ClickHouse)
├── scores.ts # Score queries (ClickHouse)
├── clickhouse.ts # Core ClickHouse helpers
└── definitions.ts # Type definitions
```
### Repository Pattern
**File:** `packages/shared/src/server/repositories/traces.ts`
```typescript
import { queryClickhouse, upsertClickhouse } from "./clickhouse";
import { TraceRecordReadType } from "./definitions";
import { convertClickhouseToDomain } from "./traces_converters";
/**
* Get traces by IDs
*/
export const getTracesByIds = async (
projectId: string,
traceIds: string[]
): Promise<TraceRecordReadType[]> => {
const rows = await queryClickhouse<TraceRecordReadType>({
query: `
SELECT *
FROM traces
WHERE project_id = {projectId: String}
AND id IN ({traceIds: Array(String)})
ORDER BY event_ts DESC
LIMIT 1 BY id, project_id
`,
params: { projectId, traceIds },
tags: { feature: "tracing", type: "trace" },
});
return rows.map(convertClickhouseToDomain);
};
/**
* Upsert trace to ClickHouse
*/
export const upsertTrace = async (
trace: TraceRecordInsertType
): Promise<void> => {
await upsertClickhouse({
table: "traces",
records: [trace],
eventBodyMapper: (body) => ({
id: body.id,
name: body.name,
user_id: body.user_id,
// ... map fields
}),
tags: { feature: "ingestion", type: "trace" },
});
};
```
**Key Points:**
- Use `queryClickhouse` for SELECT queries
- Use `upsertClickhouse` for INSERT/UPDATE
- Use `commandClickhouse` for DDL (ALTER TABLE, etc.)
- Include data converters (`convertClickhouseToDomain`)
- Add OpenTelemetry tags for observability
- Repositories should NOT contain business logic
### When to Use Repositories
**Use repositories for:**
- Complex ClickHouse queries with CTEs, joins, aggregations
- Queries used in multiple places (DRY principle)
- Data transformation from DB types to domain models
- Streaming large result sets
**Use direct Prisma/ClickHouse for:**
- Simple CRUD operations
- One-off queries
- Prototyping (can refactor to repository later)
---
## Separation of Concerns
### ✅ Good Example: Proper Layering
**tRPC Procedure (Entry Point):**
```typescript
// web/src/server/api/routers/scores.ts
export const scoresRouter = createTRPCRouter({
all: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(ScoreFilterOptions)
.query(async ({ input }) => {
// ✅ Thin procedure - delegates to repository
return await getScoresUiTable({
projectId: input.projectId,
filter: input.filter,
orderBy: input.orderBy,
});
}),
create: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(CreateScoreInput)
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
// ✅ Delegates to service for orchestration
return await createScoreWithValidation({
scoreData: input,
userId: ctx.session.user.id,
projectId: ctx.session.projectId,
});
}),
});
```
**Service (Business Logic):**
```typescript
// web/src/features/scores/server/score-service.ts
export async function createScoreWithValidation({
scoreData,
userId,
projectId,
}: {
scoreData: CreateScoreInput;
userId: string;
projectId: string;
}) {
// ✅ Business logic: validation
const config = await prisma.scoreConfig.findUnique({
where: { id: scoreData.configId },
});
if (!config) {
throw new LangfuseNotFoundError("Score config not found");
}
validateConfigAgainstBody(config, scoreData);
// ✅ Business logic: orchestration
const scoreId = randomUUID();
await Promise.all([
// Create score in ClickHouse
upsertScore({
id: scoreId,
projectId,
traceId: scoreData.traceId,
name: scoreData.name,
value: scoreData.value,
authorUserId: userId,
}),
// Audit log in PostgreSQL
auditLog({
userId,
resourceType: "score",
resourceId: scoreId,
action: "create",
}),
]);
return { id: scoreId };
}
```
**Repository (Data Access):**
```typescript
// packages/shared/src/server/repositories/scores.ts
export const upsertScore = async (
score: ScoreInsertType
): Promise<void> => {
// ✅ Pure data access - no business logic
await upsertClickhouse({
table: "scores",
records: [score],
eventBodyMapper: (body) => ({
id: body.id,
trace_id: body.traceId,
name: body.name,
value: body.value,
author_user_id: body.authorUserId,
}),
tags: { feature: "scoring" },
});
};
```
### Why This Works
1. **tRPC Procedure**: Thin, delegates to service
2. **Service**: Contains all business logic (validation, orchestration)
3. **Repository**: Pure data access, reusable
4. **Service is protocol-agnostic**: Can be called from tRPC, public API, or worker
5. **Clear separation**: Easy to test, maintain, extend
---
## Anti-Patterns
### ❌ Anti-Pattern 1: Business Logic in Routes
**Bad:**
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Business logic in tRPC procedure
export const scoresRouter = createTRPCRouter({
create: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(CreateScoreInput)
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
// ❌ Validation logic in route
const config = await ctx.prisma.scoreConfig.findUnique({
where: { id: input.configId },
});
if (!config) {
throw new TRPCError({ code: "NOT_FOUND" });
}
if (config.dataType === "NUMERIC" && typeof input.value !== "number") {
throw new TRPCError({ code: "BAD_REQUEST" });
}
// ❌ Direct database access
await ctx.prisma.score.create({
data: {
id: randomUUID(),
projectId: ctx.session.projectId,
traceId: input.traceId,
name: input.name,
value: input.value,
},
});
// ❌ More business logic
await auditLog({ ... });
return { success: true };
}),
});
```
**Why it's bad:**
- Business logic tied to tRPC (can't reuse in public API)
- Hard to test (need to mock tRPC context)
- No separation of concerns
- Difficult to maintain
**Good:**
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD: Thin procedure, delegates to service
export const scoresRouter = createTRPCRouter({
create: protectedProjectProcedure
.input(CreateScoreInput)
.mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
return await createScoreWithValidation({
scoreData: input,
userId: ctx.session.user.id,
projectId: ctx.session.projectId,
});
}),
});
```
### ❌ Anti-Pattern 2: Database Calls in Routes
**Bad:**
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Direct database access in route
export default withMiddlewares({
GET: createAuthedProjectAPIRoute({
name: "Get Scores",
fn: async ({ auth }) => {
// ❌ Direct ClickHouse query in route
const scores = await queryClickhouse({
query: "SELECT * FROM scores WHERE project_id = {projectId: String}",
params: { projectId: auth.scope.projectId },
});
return { data: scores };
},
}),
});
```
**Good:**
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD: Delegates to service or repository
export default withMiddlewares({
GET: createAuthedProjectAPIRoute({
name: "Get Scores",
fn: async ({ auth, query }) => {
const scoresService = new ScoresApiService("v1");
return await scoresService.generateScoresForPublicApi({
projectId: auth.scope.projectId,
page: query.page,
limit: query.limit,
});
},
}),
});
```
### ❌ Anti-Pattern 3: Business Logic in Repositories
**Bad:**
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Business logic in repository
export const upsertScore = async (
score: ScoreInsertType
): Promise<void> => {
// ❌ Validation in repository
if (!score.name) {
throw new Error("Score name is required");
}
// ❌ Authorization check in repository
const project = await prisma.project.findUnique({
where: { id: score.projectId },
});
if (!project) {
throw new Error("Project not found");
}
// ❌ Side effects in repository
await auditLog({ ... });
await upsertClickhouse({ ... });
};
```
**Good:**
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD: Pure data access, no business logic
export const upsertScore = async (
score: ScoreInsertType
): Promise<void> => {
await upsertClickhouse({
table: "scores",
records: [score],
eventBodyMapper: (body) => ({
id: body.id,
trace_id: body.traceId,
name: body.name,
value: body.value,
}),
tags: { feature: "scoring" },
});
};
```

## Service Layer Overview
### Purpose of Services
**Services contain business logic** - the 'what' and 'why' of your application:
```
Controller asks: "Should I do this?"
Service answers: "Yes/No, here's why, and here's what happens"
Repository executes: "Here's the data you requested"
```
**Services are responsible for:**
- ✅ Business rules enforcement
- ✅ Orchestrating multiple repositories
- ✅ Transaction management
- ✅ Complex calculations
- ✅ External service integration
- ✅ Business validations
**Services should NOT:**
- ❌ Know about HTTP (Request/Response)
- ❌ Direct Prisma access (use repositories)
- ❌ Handle route-specific logic
- ❌ Format HTTP responses
---
## Dependency Injection Pattern
### Why Dependency Injection?
**Benefits:**
- Easy to test (inject mocks)
- Clear dependencies
- Flexible configuration
- Promotes loose coupling
### Excellent Example: NotificationService
**File:** `/blog-api/src/services/NotificationService.ts`
```typescript
// Define dependencies interface for clarity
export interface NotificationServiceDependencies {
prisma: PrismaClient;
batchingService: BatchingService;
emailComposer: EmailComposer;
}
// Service with dependency injection
export class NotificationService {
private prisma: PrismaClient;
private batchingService: BatchingService;
private emailComposer: EmailComposer;
private preferencesCache: Map<
string,
{ preferences: UserPreference; timestamp: number }
> = new Map();
private CACHE_TTL =
(notificationConfig.preferenceCacheTTLMinutes || 5) * 60 * 1000;
// Dependencies injected via constructor
constructor(dependencies: NotificationServiceDependencies) {
this.prisma = dependencies.prisma;
this.batchingService = dependencies.batchingService;
this.emailComposer = dependencies.emailComposer;
}
/**
* Create a notification and route it appropriately
*/
async createNotification(params: CreateNotificationParams) {
const {
recipientID,
type,
title,
message,
link,
context = {},
channel = "both",
priority = NotificationPriority.NORMAL,
} = params;
try {
// Get template and render content
const template = getNotificationTemplate(type);
const rendered = renderNotificationContent(template, context);
// Create in-app notification record
const notificationId = await createNotificationRecord({
instanceId: parseInt(context.instanceId || "0", 10),
template: type,
recipientUserId: recipientID,
channel: channel === "email" ? "email" : "inApp",
contextData: context,
title: finalTitle,
message: finalMessage,
link: finalLink,
});
// Route notification based on channel
if (channel === "email" || channel === "both") {
await this.routeNotification({
notificationId,
userId: recipientID,
type,
priority,
title: finalTitle,
message: finalMessage,
link: finalLink,
context,
});
}
return notification;
} catch (error) {
ErrorLogger.log(error, {
context: {
"[NotificationService] createNotification": {
type: params.type,
recipientID: params.recipientID,
},
},
});
throw error;
}
}
/**
* Route notification based on user preferences
*/
private async routeNotification(params: {
notificationId: number;
userId: string;
type: string;
priority: NotificationPriority;
title: string;
message: string;
link?: string;
context?: Record<string, any>;
}) {
// Get user preferences with caching
const preferences = await this.getUserPreferences(params.userId);
// Check if we should batch or send immediately
if (this.shouldBatchEmail(preferences, params.type, params.priority)) {
await this.batchingService.queueNotificationForBatch({
notificationId: params.notificationId,
userId: params.userId,
userPreference: preferences,
priority: params.priority,
});
} else {
// Send immediately via EmailComposer
await this.sendImmediateEmail({
userId: params.userId,
title: params.title,
message: params.message,
link: params.link,
context: params.context,
type: params.type,
});
}
}
/**
* Determine if email should be batched
*/
shouldBatchEmail(
preferences: UserPreference,
notificationType: string,
priority: NotificationPriority,
): boolean {
// HIGH priority always immediate
if (priority === NotificationPriority.HIGH) {
return false;
}
// Check batch mode
const batchMode = preferences.emailBatchMode || BatchMode.IMMEDIATE;
return batchMode !== BatchMode.IMMEDIATE;
}
/**
* Get user preferences with caching
*/
async getUserPreferences(userId: string): Promise<UserPreference> {
// Check cache first
const cached = this.preferencesCache.get(userId);
if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < this.CACHE_TTL) {
return cached.preferences;
}
const preference = await this.prisma.userPreference.findUnique({
where: { userID: userId },
});
const finalPreferences = preference || DEFAULT_PREFERENCES;
// Update cache
this.preferencesCache.set(userId, {
preferences: finalPreferences,
timestamp: Date.now(),
});
return finalPreferences;
}
}
```
**Usage in Controller:**
```typescript
// Instantiate with dependencies
const notificationService = new NotificationService({
prisma: PrismaService.main,
batchingService: new BatchingService(PrismaService.main),
emailComposer: new EmailComposer(),
});
// Use in controller
const notification = await notificationService.createNotification({
recipientID: "user-123",
type: "AFRLWorkflowNotification",
context: { workflowName: "AFRL Monthly Report" },
});
```
**Key Takeaways:**
- Dependencies passed via constructor
- Clear interface defines required dependencies
- Easy to test (inject mocks)
- Encapsulated caching logic
- Business rules isolated from HTTP
---
## Singleton Pattern
### When to Use Singletons
**Use for:**
- Services with expensive initialization
- Services with shared state (caching)
- Services accessed from many places
- Permission services
- Configuration services
### Example: PermissionService (Singleton)
**File:** `/blog-api/src/services/permissionService.ts`
```typescript
import { PrismaClient } from "@prisma/client";
class PermissionService {
private static instance: PermissionService;
private prisma: PrismaClient;
private permissionCache: Map<
string,
{ canAccess: boolean; timestamp: number }
> = new Map();
private CACHE_TTL = 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes
// Private constructor prevents direct instantiation
private constructor() {
this.prisma = PrismaService.main;
}
// Get singleton instance
public static getInstance(): PermissionService {
if (!PermissionService.instance) {
PermissionService.instance = new PermissionService();
}
return PermissionService.instance;
}
/**
* Check if user can complete a workflow step
*/
async canCompleteStep(
userId: string,
stepInstanceId: number,
): Promise<boolean> {
const cacheKey = `${userId}:${stepInstanceId}`;
// Check cache
const cached = this.permissionCache.get(cacheKey);
if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < this.CACHE_TTL) {
return cached.canAccess;
}
try {
const post = await this.prisma.post.findUnique({
where: { id: postId },
include: {
author: true,
comments: {
include: {
user: true,
},
},
},
});
if (!post) {
return false;
}
// Check if user has permission
const canEdit =
post.authorId === userId || (await this.isUserAdmin(userId));
// Cache result
this.permissionCache.set(cacheKey, {
canAccess: isAssigned,
timestamp: Date.now(),
});
return isAssigned;
} catch (error) {
console.error(
"[PermissionService] Error checking step permission:",
error,
);
return false;
}
}
/**
* Clear cache for user
*/
clearUserCache(userId: string): void {
for (const [key] of this.permissionCache) {
if (key.startsWith(`${userId}:`)) {
this.permissionCache.delete(key);
}
}
}
/**
* Clear all cache
*/
clearCache(): void {
this.permissionCache.clear();
}
}
// Export singleton instance
export const permissionService = PermissionService.getInstance();
```
**Usage:**
```typescript
import { permissionService } from "../services/permissionService";
// Use anywhere in the codebase
const canComplete = await permissionService.canCompleteStep(userId, stepId);
if (!canComplete) {
throw new ForbiddenError("You do not have permission to complete this step");
}
```
---
## Repository Pattern
### Purpose of Repositories
**Repositories abstract data access** - the 'how' of data operations:
```
Service: "Get me all active users sorted by name"
Repository: "Here's the Prisma query that does that"
```
**Repositories are responsible for:**
- ✅ All Prisma operations
- ✅ Query construction
- ✅ Query optimization (select, include)
- ✅ Database error handling
- ✅ Caching database results
**Repositories should NOT:**
- ❌ Contain business logic
- ❌ Know about HTTP
- ❌ Make decisions (that's service layer)
### Repository Template
```typescript
// repositories/UserRepository.ts
import { PrismaService } from "@project-lifecycle-portal/database";
import type { User, Prisma } from "@project-lifecycle-portal/database";
export class UserRepository {
/**
* Find user by ID with optimized query
*/
async findById(userId: string): Promise<User | null> {
try {
return await PrismaService.main.user.findUnique({
where: { userID: userId },
select: {
userID: true,
email: true,
name: true,
isActive: true,
roles: true,
createdAt: true,
updatedAt: true,
},
});
} catch (error) {
console.error("[UserRepository] Error finding user by ID:", error);
throw new Error(`Failed to find user: ${userId}`);
}
}
/**
* Find all active users
*/
async findActive(options?: {
orderBy?: Prisma.UserOrderByWithRelationInput;
}): Promise<User[]> {
try {
return await PrismaService.main.user.findMany({
where: { isActive: true },
orderBy: options?.orderBy || { name: "asc" },
select: {
userID: true,
email: true,
name: true,
roles: true,
},
});

// Export singleton instance

```
**Using Repository in Service:**
```typescript
// services/userService.ts
import { userRepository } from "../repositories/UserRepository";
import { ConflictError, NotFoundError } from "../utils/errors";
export class UserService {
/**
* Create new user with business rules
*/
async createUser(data: {
email: string;
name: string;
roles: string[];
}): Promise<User> {
// Business rule: Check if email already exists
const emailExists = await userRepository.emailExists(data.email);
if (emailExists) {
throw new ConflictError("Email already exists");
}
// Business rule: Validate roles
const validRoles = ["admin", "operations", "user"];
const invalidRoles = data.roles.filter(
(role) => !validRoles.includes(role),
);
if (invalidRoles.length > 0) {
throw new ValidationError(`Invalid roles: ${invalidRoles.join(", ")}`);
}
// Create user via repository
return await userRepository.create({
email: data.email,
name: data.name,
roles: data.roles,
isActive: true,
});
}
/**
* Get user by ID
*/
async getUser(userId: string): Promise<User> {
const user = await userRepository.findById(userId);
if (!user) {
throw new NotFoundError(`User not found: ${userId}`);
}
return user;
}
}
```
---
## Service Design Principles
### 1. Single Responsibility
Each service should have ONE clear purpose:
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD - Single responsibility
class UserService {
async createUser() {}
async updateUser() {}
async deleteUser() {}
}
class EmailService {
async sendEmail() {}
async sendBulkEmails() {}
}
// ❌ BAD - Too many responsibilities
class UserService {
async createUser() {}
async sendWelcomeEmail() {} // Should be EmailService
async logUserActivity() {} // Should be AuditService
async processPayment() {} // Should be PaymentService
}
```
### 2. Clear Method Names
Method names should describe WHAT they do:
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD - Clear intent
async createNotification()
async getUserPreferences()
async shouldBatchEmail()
async routeNotification()
// ❌ BAD - Vague or misleading
async process()
async handle()
async doIt()
async execute()
```
### 3. Use Params Objects for Multiple Arguments
When a function receives multiple arguments, use a single params object instead of positional arguments:
```typescript
// ❌ BAD - Positional arguments are unclear and can be swapped
async function createTrace(
projectId: string,
userId: string,
sessionId: string,
name: string,
) {}
// Call site - which string is which?
await createTrace(projectId, userId, sessionId, name);
// ✅ GOOD - Params object makes intent clear
async function createTrace(params: {
projectId: string;
userId: string;
sessionId: string;
name: string;
}) {}
// Call site - clear and prevents argument swapping bugs
await createTrace({ projectId, userId, sessionId, name });
```
**Benefits:**
- More readable at call sites
- Prevents bugs when positional arguments of the same type are accidentally swapped
- Easier to add optional parameters later
- Self-documenting code
### 4. Return Types
Always use explicit return types:
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD - Explicit types
async createUser(data: CreateUserDTO): Promise<User> {}
async findUsers(): Promise<User[]> {}
async deleteUser(id: string): Promise<void> {}
// ❌ BAD - Implicit any
async createUser(data) {} // No types!
```
### 5. Error Handling
Services should throw meaningful errors:
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD - Meaningful errors
if (!user) {
throw new NotFoundError(`User not found: ${userId}`);
}
if (emailExists) {
throw new ConflictError("Email already exists");
}
// ❌ BAD - Generic errors
if (!user) {
throw new Error("Error"); // What error?
}
```
### 6. Avoid God Services
Don't create services that do everything:
```typescript
// ❌ BAD - God service
class WorkflowService {
async startWorkflow() {}
async completeStep() {}
async assignRoles() {}
async sendNotifications() {} // Should be NotificationService
async validatePermissions() {} // Should be PermissionService
async logAuditTrail() {} // Should be AuditService
// ... 50 more methods
}
// ✅ GOOD - Focused services
class WorkflowService {
constructor(
private notificationService: NotificationService,
private permissionService: PermissionService,
private auditService: AuditService,
) {}
async startWorkflow() {
// Orchestrate other services
await this.permissionService.checkPermission();
await this.workflowRepository.create();
await this.notificationService.notify();
await this.auditService.log();
}
}
```
---
## Caching Strategies
### 1. In-Memory Caching
```typescript
class UserService {
private cache: Map<string, { user: User; timestamp: number }> = new Map();
private CACHE_TTL = 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes
async getUser(userId: string): Promise<User> {
// Check cache
const cached = this.cache.get(userId);
if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < this.CACHE_TTL) {
return cached.user;
}
// Fetch from database
const user = await userRepository.findById(userId);
// Update cache
if (user) {
this.cache.set(userId, { user, timestamp: Date.now() });
}
return user;
}
clearUserCache(userId: string): void {
this.cache.delete(userId);
}
}
```
### 2. Cache Invalidation
```typescript
class UserService {
async updateUser(userId: string, data: UpdateUserDTO): Promise<User> {
// Update in database
const user = await userRepository.update(userId, data);
// Invalidate cache
this.clearUserCache(userId);
return user;
}
}
```
---
## Testing Services
### Unit Tests
```typescript
// tests/userService.test.ts
import { UserService } from "../services/userService";
import { userRepository } from "../repositories/UserRepository";
import { ConflictError } from "../utils/errors";
// Mock repository
jest.mock("../repositories/UserRepository");
describe("UserService", () => {
let userService: UserService;
beforeEach(() => {
userService = new UserService();
jest.clearAllMocks();
});
describe("createUser", () => {
it("should create user when email does not exist", async () => {
// Arrange
const userData = {
email: "test@example.com",
name: "Test User",
roles: ["user"],
};
(userRepository.emailExists as jest.Mock).mockResolvedValue(false);
(userRepository.create as jest.Mock).mockResolvedValue({
userID: "123",
...userData,
});
// Act
const user = await userService.createUser(userData);
// Assert
expect(user).toBeDefined();
expect(user.email).toBe(userData.email);
expect(userRepository.emailExists).toHaveBeenCalledWith(userData.email);
expect(userRepository.create).toHaveBeenCalled();
});
it("should throw ConflictError when email exists", async () => {
// Arrange
const userData = {
email: "existing@example.com",
name: "Test User",
roles: ["user"],
};
(userRepository.emailExists as jest.Mock).mockResolvedValue(true);
// Act & Assert
await expect(userService.createUser(userData)).rejects.toThrow(
ConflictError,
);
expect(userRepository.create).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
});
});
});
```

## Test Types Overview
Langfuse uses multiple testing strategies for different layers:
| Test Type | Framework | Location | Purpose |
|-----------|-----------|----------|---------|
| Integration | Jest | `web/src/__tests__/async/` | Full API endpoint testing |
| tRPC | Jest | `web/src/__tests__/async/` | tRPC procedure testing with auth |
| Service | Jest | `web/src/__tests__/async/repositories/` | Repository/service function testing |
| Worker | Vitest | `worker/src/__tests__/` | Queue processors and streams |
---
## Integration Tests (Public API)
Test full REST API endpoints end-to-end using HTTP requests.
**File location:** `web/src/__tests__/async/datasets-api.servertest.ts`
```typescript
import { makeZodVerifiedAPICall } from "../helpers";
import { PostDatasetsV1Response } from "@/src/features/public-api/types/datasets";
describe("Dataset API", () => {
it("should create dataset", async () => {
const res = await makeZodVerifiedAPICall(
PostDatasetsV1Response,
"POST",
"/api/public/datasets",
{ name: "test-dataset" },
auth,
);
expect(res.status).toBe(200);
});
it("should validate input", async () => {
const res = await makeZodVerifiedAPICall(
PostDatasetsV1Response,
"POST",
"/api/public/datasets",
{ name: "" }, // Invalid empty name
auth,
);
expect(res.status).toBe(400);
});
});
```
**Key Points:**
- Uses `makeZodVerifiedAPICall` for type-safe API testing
- Tests HTTP status codes and response validation
- Tests both success and error cases
---
## Service-Level Tests (Repository/Service)
Test individual repository/service functions with isolated data.
**File location:** `web/src/__tests__/async/repositories/event-repository.servertest.ts`
```typescript
import {
createEvent,
createEventsCh,
getObservationsWithModelDataFromEventsTable,
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
import { prisma } from "@langfuse/shared/src/db";
import { randomUUID } from "crypto";
describe("Event Repository Tests", () => {
it("should return observations with model data", async () => {
const traceId = randomUUID();
const generationId = randomUUID();
const modelId = randomUUID();
// Create test data
await prisma.model.create({
data: {
id: modelId,
projectId,
modelName: `gpt-4-${modelId}`,
matchPattern: `(?i)^(gpt-?4-${modelId})$`,
startDate: new Date("2023-01-01"),
unit: "TOKENS",
Price: {
create: [
{ usageType: "input", price: 0.03 },
{ usageType: "output", price: 0.06 },
],
},
},
});
const event = createEvent({
id: generationId,
span_id: generationId,
project_id: projectId,
trace_id: traceId,
type: "GENERATION",
name: `test-generation-${generationId}`,
model_id: modelId,
});
await createEventsCh([event]);
// Test the service function
const result = await getObservationsWithModelDataFromEventsTable({
projectId,
filter: [{ type: "string", column: "id", operator: "=", value: generationId }],
limit: 1000,
offset: 0,
});
expect(result.length).toBeGreaterThan(0);
const observation = result.find((o) => o.id === generationId);
expect(observation?.internalModelId).toBe(modelId);
expect(Number(observation?.inputPrice)).toBeCloseTo(0.03, 5);
// Cleanup
await prisma.model.delete({ where: { id: modelId } });
});
it("should handle filters correctly", async () => {
const projectId = randomUUID();
const traceId = randomUUID();
const observations = [
createEvent({
id: randomUUID(),
project_id: projectId,
trace_id: traceId,
type: "GENERATION",
name: "test1",
}),
createEvent({
id: randomUUID(),
project_id: projectId,
trace_id: traceId,
type: "SPAN",
name: "test2",
}),
];
await createEventsCh(observations);
const result = await getObservationsWithModelDataFromEventsTable({
projectId,
filter: [
{ type: "stringOptions", column: "type", operator: "any of", value: ["GENERATION"] }
],
limit: 1000,
offset: 0,
});
expect(result.every(o => o.type === "GENERATION")).toBe(true);
});
});
```
**Key Points:**
- Tests service/repository functions directly
- Uses ClickHouse and Prisma test data
- Always cleanup test data after tests
- Use unique IDs to avoid test interference
---
## tRPC Tests (Procedure Testing)
Test tRPC procedures with caller pattern and auth context.
**File location:** `web/src/__tests__/async/automations-trpc.servertest.ts`
```typescript
import { appRouter } from "@/src/server/api/root";
import { createInnerTRPCContext } from "@/src/server/api/trpc";
import { prisma } from "@langfuse/shared/src/db";
import { createOrgProjectAndApiKey } from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
import type { Session } from "next-auth";
import { v4 } from "uuid";
import { JobConfigState } from "@langfuse/shared";
async function prepare() {
const { project, org } = await createOrgProjectAndApiKey();
const session: Session = {
expires: "1",
user: {
id: "user-1",
name: "Demo User",
organizations: [{
id: org.id,
name: org.name,
role: "OWNER",
projects: [{
id: project.id,
role: "ADMIN",
name: project.name,
}],
}],
},
};
const ctx = createInnerTRPCContext({ session, headers: {} });
const caller = appRouter.createCaller({ ...ctx, prisma });
return { project, org, session, ctx, caller };
}
describe("automations trpc", () => {
it("should retrieve all automations for a project", async () => {
const { project, caller } = await prepare();
// Create test trigger
const trigger = await prisma.trigger.create({
data: {
id: v4(),
projectId: project.id,
eventSource: "prompt",
eventActions: ["created"],
filter: [],
status: JobConfigState.ACTIVE,
},
});
// Create test action
const action = await prisma.action.create({
data: {
id: v4(),
projectId: project.id,
type: "WEBHOOK",
config: {
type: "WEBHOOK",
url: "https://example.com/webhook",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
},
},
});
// Link trigger to action
await prisma.automation.create({
data: {
projectId: project.id,
triggerId: trigger.id,
actionId: action.id,
name: "Test Automation",
},
});
// Call tRPC procedure
const response = await caller.automations.getAutomations({
projectId: project.id,
});
expect(response).toHaveLength(1);
expect(response[0]).toMatchObject({
name: "Test Automation",
trigger: expect.objectContaining({
id: trigger.id,
eventSource: "prompt",
}),
});
});
it("should throw error when user lacks permissions", async () => {
const { project, session } = await prepare();
// Create limited session
const limitedSession: Session = {
...session,
user: {
...session.user!,
organizations: [{
...session.user!.organizations[0],
projects: [{
...session.user!.organizations[0].projects[0],
role: "VIEWER", // VIEWER can't create automations
}],
}],
},
};
const limitedCtx = createInnerTRPCContext({
session: limitedSession,
headers: {},
});
const limitedCaller = appRouter.createCaller({ ...limitedCtx, prisma });
await expect(
limitedCaller.automations.createAutomation({
projectId: project.id,
name: "Unauthorized",
eventSource: "prompt",
eventAction: ["created"],
filter: [],
status: JobConfigState.ACTIVE,
actionType: "WEBHOOK",
actionConfig: {
type: "WEBHOOK",
url: "https://example.com/webhook",
requestHeaders: {},
apiVersion: { prompt: "v1" },
},
}),
).rejects.toThrow("User does not have access");
});
});
```
**Key Points:**
- Uses `prepare()` helper to set up test context
- Creates authenticated caller with `appRouter.createCaller`
- Tests both success and permission error cases
- Can test different user roles and permissions
---
## Worker Tests (Queue Processing)
Test queue processors and stream functions using vitest.
**File location:** `worker/src/__tests__/batchExport.test.ts`
```typescript
import { randomUUID } from "crypto";
import { expect, describe, it } from "vitest";
import {
createObservation,
createObservationsCh,
createOrgProjectAndApiKey,
createTraceScore,
createScoresCh,
createTrace,
createTracesCh,
} from "@langfuse/shared/src/server";
import { getObservationStream } from "../features/database-read-stream/observation-stream";
describe("batch export test suite", () => {
it("should export observations", async () => {
const { projectId } = await createOrgProjectAndApiKey();
const traceId = randomUUID();
const trace = createTrace({
project_id: projectId,
id: traceId,
});
await createTracesCh([trace]);
const observations = [
createObservation({
project_id: projectId,
trace_id: traceId,
type: "SPAN",
}),
createObservation({
project_id: projectId,
trace_id: randomUUID(),
type: "GENERATION",
}),
];
const score = createTraceScore({
project_id: projectId,
trace_id: traceId,
observation_id: observations[0].id,
name: "test",
value: 123,
});
await createScoresCh([score]);
await createObservationsCh(observations);
// Test the stream function
const stream = await getObservationStream({
projectId: projectId,
cutoffCreatedAt: new Date(Date.now() + 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24),
filter: [],
});
const rows: any[] = [];
for await (const chunk of stream) {
rows.push(chunk);
}
expect(rows).toHaveLength(2);
expect(rows).toEqual(
expect.arrayContaining([
expect.objectContaining({
id: observations[0].id,
type: observations[0].type,
test: [score.value],
}),
]),
);
});
it("should export with filters", async () => {
const { projectId } = await createOrgProjectAndApiKey();
const observations = [
createObservation({
project_id: projectId,
trace_id: randomUUID(),
type: "GENERATION",
name: "test1",
}),
createObservation({
project_id: projectId,
trace_id: randomUUID(),
type: "SPAN",
name: "test2",
}),
];
await createObservationsCh(observations);
const stream = await getObservationStream({
projectId: projectId,
cutoffCreatedAt: new Date(Date.now() + 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24),
filter: [
{
type: "stringOptions",
operator: "any of",
column: "name",
value: ["test1"],
},
],
});
const rows: any[] = [];
for await (const chunk of stream) {
rows.push(chunk);
}
expect(rows).toHaveLength(1);
expect(rows[0].name).toBe("test1");
});
});
```
**Key Points:**
- Uses vitest (not Jest) for worker tests
- Tests stream functions with async iteration
- Creates isolated test data per test
- Use unique project IDs to avoid interference
---
## Key Testing Principles
### General Principles
1. **Test Isolation**: Each test should be independent and runnable in any order
2. **Unique IDs**: Use `randomUUID()` or unique project IDs to avoid test interference
3. **Cleanup**: Always clean up test data in service tests (or use unique project IDs)
4. **Avoid Global Resets**: Prefer scoped cleanup or unique project IDs over global reset helpers
### By Test Type
| Test Type | Key Principles |
|-----------|----------------|
| **Integration** | Test HTTP endpoints, validate status codes and response shapes |
| **tRPC** | Use `createInnerTRPCContext` and `appRouter.createCaller`, test auth/permissions |
| **Service** | Test individual functions with isolated data, always cleanup |
| **Worker** | Use vitest, test streams with async iteration, test filtering logic |
### Test Data Management
```typescript
// ✅ GOOD: Use unique IDs
const projectId = randomUUID();
const traceId = randomUUID();
// ✅ GOOD: Cleanup in service tests
afterAll(async () => {
await prisma.model.delete({ where: { id: modelId } });
});
// ✅ GOOD: Use unique projects (no cleanup needed)
const { projectId } = await createOrgProjectAndApiKey();
// ❌ BAD: Shared test data between tests
const projectId = "7a88fb47-b4e2-43b8-a06c-a5ce950dc53a";
```

Shared workflow for writing Langfuse changelog entries after a feature is complete.
Use when a branch is ready for merge and a changelog entry or changelog draft is needed.
---
# Changelog Writing
Use this skill when a completed feature branch needs a changelog entry.
## Workflow
1. Understand the change set.
2. Study recent changelog patterns in `../langfuse-docs/pages/changelog`.
3. Find related documentation links in `../langfuse-docs/pages`.
4. Draft a user-focused changelog entry.
5. Recommend whether an image or screenshot should be added.
## What To Gather
- The branch diff relative to `main`
- The Linear issue, if the branch name includes an `lfe-XXXX` identifier
- The affected product areas
- Relevant docs pages to link or create
## Writing Rules
- Write for users, not internal implementation detail
- Prefer second person: "you can now..."
- Focus on what changed, why it matters, and how to use it
- Match the structure and tone of recent changelog posts
- Keep technical detail only where it improves user understanding
## Output Format
Provide:
1. A short summary of what changed
2. The complete changelog post content
3. Whether an image should be added and what it should show
4. Any docs pages that should be linked or created
## Reference Files
- Changelog destination: `../langfuse-docs/pages/changelog`
- Recent changelog examples: inspect 3-5 recent files in that directory
- Existing docs: `../langfuse-docs/pages`
File diff suppressed because it is too large Load Diff

# ClickHouse Best Practices
Comprehensive guidance for ClickHouse covering schema design, query optimization, and data ingestion. Contains 28 rules across 3 main categories (schema, query, insert), prioritized by impact.
> **Official docs:** [ClickHouse Best Practices](https://clickhouse.com/docs/best-practices)
## IMPORTANT: How to Apply This Skill
**Before answering ClickHouse questions, follow this priority order:**
1. **Check for applicable rules** in the `rules/` directory
2. **If rules exist:** Apply them and cite them in your response using "Per `rule-name`..."
3. **If no rule exists:** Use the LLM's ClickHouse knowledge or search documentation
4. **If uncertain:** Use web search for current best practices
5. **Always cite your source:** rule name, "general ClickHouse guidance", or URL
**Why rules take priority:** ClickHouse has specific behaviors (columnar storage, sparse indexes, merge tree mechanics) where general database intuition can be misleading. The rules encode validated, ClickHouse-specific guidance.
### For Formal Reviews
When performing a formal review of schemas, queries, or data ingestion:

## Review Procedures
### For Schema Reviews (CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE)

## 1. Schema Design (schema)
**Impact:** CRITICAL
**Description:** Proper schema design is foundational to ClickHouse performance. ORDER BY is immutable after table creation; wrong choices require full data migration. Includes primary key selection, data types, partitioning strategy, and JSON usage. Column types and ordering can impact query speed by orders of magnitude.
## 2. Query Optimization (query)
**Impact:** CRITICAL
**Description:** Query patterns dramatically affect performance. JOIN algorithms, filtering strategies, skipping indices, and materialized views can reduce query time from minutes to milliseconds. Pre-computed aggregations read thousands of rows instead of billions.
## 3. Insert Strategy (insert)
**Impact:** CRITICAL
**Description:** Each INSERT creates a data part. Single-row inserts overwhelm the merge process. Proper batching (10K-100K rows), async inserts for high-frequency writes, mutation avoidance, and letting background merges work are essential for stable cluster performance.

impact: HIGH
impactDescription: "Server-side buffering when client batching isn't practical"
tags: [insert, async, buffering, small-batches]
---
## Use Async Inserts for High-Frequency Small Batches
**Impact: HIGH**
When client-side batching isn't practical, async inserts buffer server-side and create larger parts automatically.
**Incorrect (small batches without async):**
```python
# Small batches without async_insert - creates too many parts
for batch in chunks(events, 100):
client.execute("INSERT INTO events VALUES", batch)
```
**Correct (enable async inserts):**
```python
# Enable async_insert with safe defaults
client.execute("SET async_insert = 1")
client.execute("SET wait_for_async_insert = 1") # Confirms durability
for batch in chunks(events, 100):
client.execute("INSERT INTO events VALUES", batch)
# Server buffers and creates larger parts automatically
```
```sql
-- Configure server-side for specific users
ALTER USER my_app_user SETTINGS
async_insert = 1,
wait_for_async_insert = 1,
async_insert_max_data_size = 10000000, -- Flush at 10MB
async_insert_busy_timeout_ms = 1000; -- Flush after 1s
```
**Flush conditions (whichever occurs first):**
- Buffer reaches `async_insert_max_data_size`
- Time threshold `async_insert_busy_timeout_ms` elapses
- Maximum insert queries accumulate
**Return modes:**
| Setting | Behavior | Use Case |
|---------|----------|----------|
| `wait_for_async_insert=1` | Waits for flush, confirms durability | **Recommended** |
| `wait_for_async_insert=0` | Fire-and-forget, unaware of errors | **Risky** - only if you accept data loss |

---
## Batch Inserts Appropriately (10K-100K rows)
**Impact: CRITICAL**
Each INSERT creates a new data part. Single-row or small-batch inserts create thousands of tiny parts, overwhelming the merge process and causing cluster instability.
**Incorrect (single-row or tiny batches):**
```python
# Single-row inserts - creates 10,000 parts!
for event in events:
client.execute("INSERT INTO events VALUES", [event])
# Tiny batches - still too many parts
for batch in chunks(events, 100): # 100 rows per INSERT
client.execute("INSERT INTO events VALUES", batch)
```
**Correct (proper batch size):**
```python
# Ideal batch size: 10,000-100,000 rows
BATCH_SIZE = 10_000
for batch in chunks(events, BATCH_SIZE):
client.execute("INSERT INTO events VALUES", batch)
```
**Recommended batch sizes:**
| Threshold | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| Minimum | 1,000 rows |
| Ideal range | 10,000-100,000 rows |
| Insert rate (sync) | ~1 insert per second |
**Validation:**
```sql
-- Monitor part count (>3000 per partition blocks inserts)
SELECT table, count() as parts, sum(rows) as total_rows
FROM system.parts
WHERE active AND database = 'default'
GROUP BY table
ORDER BY parts DESC;

impactDescription: "Use lightweight DELETE, CollapsingMergeTree, or DROP PARTITION instead"
tags: [insert, mutation, DELETE, CollapsingMergeTree]
---
## Avoid ALTER TABLE DELETE
**Impact: CRITICAL**
`ALTER TABLE DELETE` is a mutation that rewrites entire data parts. Use alternatives like lightweight DELETE, CollapsingMergeTree, or DROP PARTITION.
**Incorrect (mutation delete):**
```sql
-- Mutation delete for cleanup
ALTER TABLE orders DELETE WHERE status = 'cancelled';
-- Time-based cleanup via mutation (very expensive)
ALTER TABLE sessions DELETE WHERE created_at < now() - INTERVAL 7 DAY;
```
**Correct - CollapsingMergeTree:**
```sql
CREATE TABLE orders (
order_id UInt64,
customer_id UInt64,
total Decimal(10,2),
sign Int8 -- 1 = active, -1 = deleted
)
ENGINE = CollapsingMergeTree(sign)
ORDER BY order_id;
-- Insert order
INSERT INTO orders VALUES (123, 456, 99.99, 1);
-- "Delete" by inserting with sign = -1
INSERT INTO orders VALUES (123, 456, 99.99, -1);
-- Query collapses +1 and -1 pairs
SELECT order_id, sum(total * sign) as total
FROM orders GROUP BY order_id HAVING sum(sign) > 0;
```
**Correct - Lightweight Deletes (23.3+):**
```sql
-- Marks rows, doesn't rewrite immediately
DELETE FROM orders WHERE status = 'cancelled';
-- Physical deletion happens during normal merges
```
**Correct - DROP PARTITION for Bulk Deletion:**
```sql
-- Instant deletion of old data
ALTER TABLE events DROP PARTITION '202301';
-- Much faster than:
ALTER TABLE events DELETE WHERE toYYYYMM(timestamp) = 202301;
```
**Delete strategy comparison:**
| Method | Speed | When to Use |

title: Avoid ALTER TABLE UPDATE
impact: CRITICAL
impactDescription: "Mutations rewrite entire parts; use ReplacingMergeTree instead"
tags: [insert, mutation, UPDATE, ReplacingMergeTree]
---
## Avoid ALTER TABLE UPDATE
**Impact: CRITICAL**
`ALTER TABLE UPDATE` is a mutation - an asynchronous background process that rewrites entire data parts affected by the change. This is extremely expensive for frequent or large-scale operations.
**Why mutations are problematic:**
- **Write amplification:** Rewrite complete parts even for minor changes
- **Disk I/O spike:** Degrades overall cluster performance
- **No rollback:** Cannot be rolled back after submission
- **Inconsistent reads:** SELECT may read mix of mutated and unmutated parts
**Incorrect (mutation for updates):**
```sql
-- Rewrites potentially huge amounts of data
ALTER TABLE users UPDATE status = 'inactive'
WHERE last_login < now() - INTERVAL 90 DAY;
-- Frequent row updates via mutation
ALTER TABLE inventory UPDATE quantity = quantity - 1
WHERE product_id = 123;
-- If product exists across 100 parts, rewrites ALL 100 parts
```
**Correct (ReplacingMergeTree):**
```sql
-- Table design for updates
CREATE TABLE users (
user_id UInt64,
name String,
status LowCardinality(String),
updated_at DateTime DEFAULT now()
)
ENGINE = ReplacingMergeTree(updated_at)
ORDER BY user_id;
-- "Update" by inserting new version
INSERT INTO users (user_id, name, status)
VALUES (123, 'John', 'inactive');
-- Query with FINAL to get latest version
SELECT * FROM users FINAL WHERE user_id = 123;
-- Or use aggregation
SELECT user_id, argMax(status, updated_at) as status

title: Avoid OPTIMIZE TABLE FINAL
impact: HIGH
impactDescription: "Forces expensive merge of all parts; let background merges work"
tags: [insert, OPTIMIZE, merge, performance]
---
## Avoid OPTIMIZE TABLE FINAL
**Impact: HIGH**
`OPTIMIZE TABLE ... FINAL` forces immediate merge of all parts into one part per partition. This is resource-intensive and rarely necessary. ClickHouse already performs smart background merges.
**Note:** `OPTIMIZE FINAL` is not the same as `FINAL`. The `FINAL` modifier in SELECT queries may be necessary for deduplicated results in ReplacingMergeTree and is generally fine to use.
**Incorrect (OPTIMIZE FINAL after inserts):**
```sql
-- Running OPTIMIZE FINAL after every batch insert
INSERT INTO events SELECT * FROM staging_events;
OPTIMIZE TABLE events FINAL; -- Expensive and unnecessary!
-- Scheduled OPTIMIZE FINAL jobs
-- Cron: 0 * * * * clickhouse-client -q "OPTIMIZE TABLE events FINAL"
```
**Correct (let background merges work):**
```sql
-- Let background merges handle optimization
INSERT INTO events SELECT * FROM staging_events;
-- Done! ClickHouse merges automatically
-- For ReplacingMergeTree deduplication, use FINAL in queries
SELECT * FROM events FINAL WHERE user_id = 123;
-- Instead of running OPTIMIZE FINAL to deduplicate
```
**Problems with OPTIMIZE FINAL:**
- Rewrites entire partition regardless of need
- Ignores the ~150 GB part size safeguard
- Can cause memory pressure or OOM errors
- Lengthy execution time for large datasets
**When OPTIMIZE FINAL may be acceptable:**
- Finalizing data before table freezing
- Preparing data for export operations
- One-time operations, not regular workflows
**Better alternatives:**
| Need | Alternative |
|------|-------------|
| Deduplicate ReplacingMergeTree | Use `FINAL` modifier in SELECT |
| Reduce part count | Rely on background merges |

title: Use Data Skipping Indices for Non-ORDER BY Filters
impact: HIGH
impactDescription: "Up to 60x faster queries by skipping irrelevant granules"
tags: [query, index, skipping, bloom_filter]
---
## Use Data Skipping Indices for Non-ORDER BY Filters
**Impact: HIGH**
Queries filtering on columns not in ORDER BY cannot use the primary index and result in full scans. Data skipping indices store metadata about blocks and skip granules that definitely don't match.
**Important:** Skip indices should be considered **after** optimizing data types, primary key selection, and materialized views.
**When to use:**
- High overall cardinality but low cardinality within blocks
- Rare values critical for search (error codes, specific IDs)
- Column correlates with primary key
**When NOT to use:**
- As a first optimization step
- Matching values scattered across many blocks
- Without testing on real data
**Incorrect (filtering on non-ORDER BY column):**
```sql
CREATE TABLE events (
event_type LowCardinality(String),
timestamp DateTime,
user_id UInt64 -- Not in ORDER BY
)
ENGINE = MergeTree()
ORDER BY (event_type, toDate(timestamp));
-- Query filters on user_id - scans all matching event_type
SELECT * FROM events
WHERE event_type = 'click' AND user_id = 12345;
```
**Correct (add skipping index):**
```sql
CREATE TABLE events (
event_type LowCardinality(String),
timestamp DateTime,
user_id UInt64,
INDEX idx_user_id user_id TYPE bloom_filter GRANULARITY 4
)
ENGINE = MergeTree()
ORDER BY (event_type, toDate(timestamp));
-- Or add to existing table
ALTER TABLE events ADD INDEX idx_user_id user_id TYPE bloom_filter GRANULARITY 4;
ALTER TABLE events MATERIALIZE INDEX idx_user_id;
```
**Index types:**
| Type | Best For | Example Filter |
|------|----------|----------------|
| `bloom_filter` | Equality on high-cardinality | `WHERE user_id = 123` |
| `set(N)` | Low cardinality (N unique values) | `WHERE status IN ('a','b')` |
| `minmax` | Range queries | `WHERE amount > 1000` |
| `ngrambf_v1` | Text search | `WHERE text LIKE '%term%'` |
| `tokenbf_v1` | Token search | `WHERE hasToken(text, 'word')` |
**Validation:**

SELECT * FROM events WHERE user_id = 12345;

title: Choose the Right JOIN Algorithm
impact: CRITICAL
impactDescription: "Wrong algorithm causes OOM; right algorithm handles large tables efficiently"
tags: [query, JOIN, algorithm, memory]
---
## Choose the Right JOIN Algorithm
**Impact: CRITICAL**
ClickHouse's default hash join loads the RIGHT table entirely into memory. Choose the right algorithm based on table sizes and constraints.
**Algorithm selection:**
| Algorithm | Best For | Trade-off |
|-----------|----------|-----------|
| `parallel_hash` | Small-to-medium in-memory tables | Default since 24.11; fast, concurrent |
| `hash` | General purpose, all join types | Single-threaded hash table build |
| `direct` | Dictionary lookups (INNER/LEFT only) | Fastest; no hash table construction |
| `full_sorting_merge` | Tables already sorted on join key | Skips sort if pre-ordered; low memory |
| `partial_merge` | Large tables, memory-constrained | Minimized memory; slower execution |
| `grace_hash` | Large datasets, tunable memory | Flexible; disk-spilling capability |
| `auto` | Adaptive algorithm selection | Tries hash first, falls back on memory pressure |
**Example usage:**
```sql
-- Let ClickHouse choose automatically
SET join_algorithm = 'auto';
-- For large-to-large joins where memory is constrained
SET join_algorithm = 'partial_merge';
SELECT * FROM large_a JOIN large_b ON large_b.id = large_a.id;
-- When joining by primary key columns, sort-merge skips sorting step
SET join_algorithm = 'full_sorting_merge';
SELECT * FROM table_a a JOIN table_b b ON b.pk_col = a.pk_col;
```
**Note:** ClickHouse 24.12+ automatically positions smaller tables on the right side. For earlier versions, manually ensure the smaller table is on the RIGHT.

title: Consider Alternatives to JOINs

impactDescription: "Dictionaries and denormalization shift work from query time to insert time"
tags: [query, JOIN, dictionary, denormalization]
---
## Consider Alternatives to JOINs
**Impact: CRITICAL**
Repeated JOINs to dimension tables add overhead. Dictionaries or denormalization shift computational work from query time to insert/pre-processing time.
**Incorrect (JOIN on every query):**
```sql
-- JOIN on every query
SELECT o.order_id, c.name, c.email
FROM orders o
JOIN customers c ON c.id = o.customer_id
WHERE o.created_at > '2024-01-01';
```
**Correct - Dictionary Lookup:**
```sql
-- Create dictionary
CREATE DICTIONARY customer_dict (
id UInt64,
name String,
email String
)
PRIMARY KEY id
SOURCE(CLICKHOUSE(TABLE 'customers'))
LAYOUT(HASHED())
LIFETIME(MIN 300 MAX 360);
-- Use dictGet instead of JOIN (uses direct join algorithm - fastest)
SELECT
order_id,
dictGet('customer_dict', 'name', customer_id) as customer_name,
dictGet('customer_dict', 'email', customer_id) as customer_email
FROM orders
WHERE created_at > '2024-01-01';
```
**Correct - Denormalization:**
```sql
-- Denormalized table with materialized view
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW orders_enriched_mv TO orders_enriched AS
SELECT
o.order_id, o.customer_id,
c.name as customer_name,
c.email as customer_email,
o.total, o.created_at
FROM orders o
JOIN customers c ON c.id = o.customer_id;
```
**Approach comparison:**
| Approach | Use Case | Performance |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| Dictionary | Frequent lookups to small dimension | Fastest (in-memory) |
| Denormalization | Analytics always need enriched data | Fast (no join at query) |
| IN subquery | Existence filtering | Often faster than JOIN |
| JOIN | Infrequent or complex joins | Acceptable |
**Critical dictionary caveat:** Dictionaries silently deduplicate duplicate keys, retaining only the final value. Only use when source has unique keys.

## Filter Tables Before Joining
**Impact: CRITICAL**
Joining full tables then filtering wastes resources. Add filtering in `WHERE` or `JOIN ON` clauses. If automatic pushdown fails, restructure as a subquery.
**Incorrect (join then filter):**
```sql
-- Joins entire tables, then filters
SELECT o.order_id, c.name, o.total
FROM orders o
JOIN customers c ON c.id = o.customer_id
WHERE o.created_at > '2024-01-01' AND c.country = 'US';
```
**Correct (filter in subqueries before joining):**
```sql
-- Filter in subqueries before joining
SELECT o.order_id, c.name, o.total
FROM (
SELECT order_id, customer_id, total
FROM orders
WHERE created_at > '2024-01-01'
) o
JOIN (
SELECT id, name
FROM customers
WHERE country = 'US'
) c ON c.id = o.customer_id;
```
**Even better - aggregate before joining:**
```sql
SELECT c.country, o.total_revenue
FROM (
SELECT customer_id, sum(total) as total_revenue
FROM orders
WHERE created_at > '2024-01-01'
GROUP BY customer_id

## Use ANY JOIN When Only One Match Needed
**Impact: HIGH**
Use `ANY` JOINs when you only need a single match rather than all matches. They consume less memory and execute faster.
**Incorrect (returns all matches):**
```sql
-- Returns all matching rows, uses more memory
SELECT o.order_id, c.name
FROM orders o
LEFT JOIN customers c ON c.id = o.customer_id;
```
**Correct (returns first match only):**
```sql
-- Returns only first match per row, faster and less memory
SELECT o.order_id, c.name
FROM orders o
LEFT ANY JOIN customers c ON c.id = o.customer_id;
```
**ANY JOIN types:**
| Type | Behavior |
|------|----------|
| `LEFT ANY JOIN` | At most one match from right table |
| `INNER ANY JOIN` | At most one match, only matching rows |
| `RIGHT ANY JOIN` | At most one match from left table |

---
## Use Incremental MVs for Real-Time Aggregations
**Impact: HIGH**
Incremental MVs automatically apply the view's query to new data blocks at insert time. Results are written to a target table and partial results merge over time.
**Incorrect (full aggregation on every query):**
```sql
-- Full aggregation on every dashboard load
SELECT
event_type,
toStartOfHour(timestamp) as hour,
count() as events,
uniq(user_id) as unique_users
FROM events
WHERE timestamp >= now() - INTERVAL 7 DAY
GROUP BY event_type, hour;
-- Scans 7 days of data every time (billions of rows)
```
**Correct (incremental MV with pre-aggregation):**
```sql
-- Create target table for aggregated data
CREATE TABLE events_hourly (
event_type LowCardinality(String),
hour DateTime,
events AggregateFunction(count),
unique_users AggregateFunction(uniq, UInt64)
)
ENGINE = AggregatingMergeTree()
ORDER BY (event_type, hour);
-- Create materialized view to populate incrementally
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW events_hourly_mv TO events_hourly AS
SELECT
event_type,
toStartOfHour(timestamp) as hour,
countState() as events,
uniqState(user_id) as unique_users
FROM events
GROUP BY event_type, hour;
-- Query the pre-aggregated data
SELECT
event_type, hour,
countMerge(events) as events,
uniqMerge(unique_users) as unique_users
FROM events_hourly
WHERE hour >= now() - INTERVAL 7 DAY
GROUP BY event_type, hour;
-- Reads thousands of rows instead of billions
```
**Key points:**
- Use `-State` functions in MV, `-Merge` functions in query
- Incremental - existing data not automatically included (backfill separately)
- Minimal cluster overhead at insert time

impactDescription: "Sub-millisecond queries with periodic refresh; ideal for complex joins"
tags: [query, materialized-view, refresh, batch]
---
## Use Refreshable MVs for Complex Joins and Batch Workflows
**Impact: HIGH**
Refreshable MVs execute queries periodically on a schedule. The full query re-executes and overwrites (or appends to) the target table.
**Best for:**
- Sub-millisecond latency where minor staleness is acceptable
- Caching "top N" results or lookup tables
- Complex multi-table joins requiring denormalization
- Batch workflows and DAG dependencies
**Incorrect (expensive join on every request):**
```sql
-- Complex join executed on every request
SELECT
o.order_id, o.total,
c.name as customer_name,
p.name as product_name
FROM orders o
JOIN customers c ON o.customer_id = c.id
JOIN products p ON o.product_id = p.id
WHERE o.created_at >= now() - INTERVAL 1 DAY;
```
**Correct (refreshable MV):**
```sql
-- Create refreshable MV that runs every 5 minutes
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW orders_denormalized
REFRESH EVERY 5 MINUTE
ENGINE = MergeTree()
ORDER BY (created_at, order_id)
AS SELECT
o.order_id, o.created_at, o.total,
c.name as customer_name, c.segment,
p.name as product_name
FROM orders o
JOIN customers c ON o.customer_id = c.id
JOIN products p ON o.product_id = p.id
WHERE o.created_at >= now() - INTERVAL 1 DAY;
-- Query the pre-joined data (sub-millisecond)
SELECT * FROM orders_denormalized WHERE segment = 'enterprise';
```
**APPEND vs REPLACE modes:**
| Mode | Behavior | Use Case |
|------|----------|----------|
| `REPLACE` (default) | Overwrites previous contents | Current state, lookup tables |
| `APPEND` | Adds new rows to existing data | Periodic snapshots, historical accumulation |
**Critical warning:** Query should run quickly compared to refresh interval. Don't schedule every 10 seconds if the query takes 10+ seconds.

## Use JSON Type for Dynamic Schemas
**Impact: MEDIUM**
ClickHouse's JSON type splits JSON objects into separate sub-columns, enabling field-level query optimization. Use it for truly dynamic data, not everything.

)
```
**Correct (JSON for dynamic, typed for known):**
```sql

CREATE TABLE events (
event_id UUID DEFAULT generateUUIDv4(),
event_type LowCardinality(String),
timestamp DateTime DEFAULT now(),
properties JSON -- Flexible schema with type inference
)
ENGINE = MergeTree()

-- Query JSON paths directly
SELECT
event_type,
properties.url as page_url,
properties.amount as purchase_amount
FROM events
WHERE event_type = 'page_view' AND properties.url = '/home';
```
**When to use JSON:**
| Scenario | Use JSON? |
|----------|-----------|
| Data structure varies unpredictably | Yes |
| Field types/schemas change over time | Yes |
| Need field-level querying | Yes |
| Fixed, known schema | No (use typed columns) |
| JSON as opaque blob (no field queries) | No (use String) |
**Optimization: specify types for known paths:**

## Use Partitioning for Data Lifecycle Management
**Impact: HIGH**
Partitioning is **primarily a data management technique, not a query optimization tool**. It excels at:
- **Dropping data**: Remove entire partitions as single metadata operations
- **TTL retention**: Implement time-based retention policies efficiently
- **Tiered storage**: Move old partitions to cold storage
- **Archiving**: Move partitions between tables
**Incorrect (no time alignment for lifecycle):**
```sql

## Keep Partition Cardinality Low (100-1,000 Values)
**Impact: HIGH**
Too many distinct partition values create excessive data parts, eventually triggering "too many parts" errors. ClickHouse enforces limits via `max_parts_in_total` and `parts_to_throw_insert` settings.
**Incorrect (high cardinality partitioning):**
```sql

Start without partitioning and add it later only if:
- You have clear data lifecycle requirements (retention, archiving)
- Your access patterns clearly benefit from partition pruning

impactDescription: "Enables granule skipping; high-cardinality first prevents index pruning"
tags: [schema, primary-key, cardinality, ORDER BY]
---
## Order Columns by Cardinality (Low to High)
**Impact: CRITICAL**
Since the sparse primary index operates on data blocks (granules) rather than individual rows, low-cardinality leading columns create more useful index entries that can skip entire blocks. Place lower-cardinality columns before higher-cardinality ones in the ordering key.
**Incorrect (high cardinality first):**
```sql
-- UUID first means no pruning benefit
CREATE TABLE events (...)
ENGINE = MergeTree()
ORDER BY (event_id, event_type, timestamp);
-- Every granule has different event_id values, index can't skip anything
```
**Correct (low cardinality first):**
```sql
-- Low cardinality first enables pruning
CREATE TABLE events (...)
ENGINE = MergeTree()
ORDER BY (event_type, event_date, event_id);
-- Index can skip entire event_type groups
```
**Column Order Guidelines:**
| Position | Cardinality | Examples |
|----------|-------------|----------|
| 1st | Low (few distinct values) | event_type, status, country |
| 2nd | Date (coarse granularity) | toDate(timestamp) |
| 3rd+ | Medium-High | user_id, session_id |
| Last | High (if needed) | event_id, uuid |
**Tip:** Use `toDate(timestamp)` instead of raw `DateTime` columns when day-level filtering suffices - this reduces index size from 32-bit to 16-bit representations.

## Filter on ORDER BY Columns in Queries
**Impact: CRITICAL**
Even with good schema design, queries must use ORDER BY columns to benefit. Skipping prefix columns or filtering on non-ORDER BY columns prevents index usage.
**Incorrect (skips prefix or uses non-ORDER BY columns):**
```sql
-- Given: ORDER BY (tenant_id, event_type, timestamp)
-- Skips prefix columns - can't use index effectively
SELECT * FROM events WHERE event_type = 'click';
-- Filter on column not in ORDER BY - full table scan
SELECT * FROM events WHERE user_agent LIKE '%Chrome%';
```
**Correct (uses ORDER BY prefix):**
```sql
-- Given: ORDER BY (tenant_id, event_type, timestamp)
-- Full prefix match - best performance
SELECT * FROM events
WHERE tenant_id = 123 AND event_type = 'click';
-- Partial prefix - still uses index
SELECT * FROM events WHERE tenant_id = 123;
-- Range on later column after equality on earlier
SELECT * FROM events
WHERE tenant_id = 123 AND event_type = 'click' AND timestamp >= '2024-01-01';
```
**Index usage reference:**
| Filter | Index Used? |
|--------|-------------|
| `WHERE tenant_id = 123` | Full |
| `WHERE tenant_id = 123 AND event_type = 'click'` | Full |
| `WHERE event_type = 'click'` | None (skipped prefix) |

## Plan PRIMARY KEY Before Table Creation
**Impact: CRITICAL** (immutable after creation)
ClickHouse's ORDER BY clause defines physical data ordering and the sparse index. Unlike other databases, **ORDER BY cannot be modified after table creation**. A wrong choice requires creating a new table and migrating all data.

-- Cannot fix with: ALTER TABLE events MODIFY ORDER BY (user_id, timestamp)
-- ERROR: Cannot modify ORDER BY
```
**Correct (query-driven ORDER BY selection):**
```sql
-- Step 1: Document query patterns BEFORE creating table
/*
Query Analysis:
- 60% of queries: WHERE user_id = ? AND timestamp BETWEEN ? AND ?
- 25% of queries: WHERE event_type = ? AND timestamp > ?
- 15% of queries: WHERE event_id = ?
Conclusion: user_id and event_type are primary filters
*/

## Avoid Nullable Unless Semantically Required
**Impact: HIGH**
Nullable columns maintain a separate UInt8 column for tracking null values, increasing storage and degrading performance. Use DEFAULT values instead when feasible.
**Incorrect (Nullable everywhere):**
```sql
CREATE TABLE users (
id Nullable(UInt64), -- IDs should never be null
name Nullable(String), -- Empty string is fine
age Nullable(UInt8), -- 0 is a valid default
login_count Nullable(UInt32) -- 0 is a valid default
)
```
**Correct (DEFAULT values, Nullable only when semantic):**
```sql
CREATE TABLE users (
id UInt64, -- Never null
name String DEFAULT '', -- Empty = unknown
age UInt8 DEFAULT 0, -- 0 = unknown
login_count UInt32 DEFAULT 0, -- 0 = never logged in
deleted_at Nullable(DateTime), -- NULL = not deleted (semantic!)
parent_id Nullable(UInt64) -- NULL = no parent (semantic!)
)
```
**When Nullable IS appropriate:**
| Use Case | Why |
|----------|-----|
| `deleted_at` | NULL = "not deleted", timestamp = "deleted at X" |
| `parent_id` | NULL = "no parent", value = "has parent" |
| `discount_percent` | NULL = "no discount", 0 = "0% discount" |
**Defaults instead of Nullable:**
| Type | Default |
|------|---------|
| String | `''` (empty string) |
| UInt*/Int* | `0` |
| DateTime | `now()` or `toDateTime(0)` |

## Use Enum for Finite Value Sets
**Impact: MEDIUM**
Enum types provide validation at insert time and enable queries that exploit natural ordering. Use Enum8 (up to 256 values) or Enum16 (up to 65,536 values).
**Incorrect (String without validation):**

-- Ordering requires CASE statements
SELECT * FROM orders ORDER BY
CASE status
WHEN 'pending' THEN 1
WHEN 'processing' THEN 2
WHEN 'shipped' THEN 3
END;
```
**Correct (Enum with validation and ordering):**
```sql
CREATE TABLE orders (
status Enum8('pending' = 1, 'processing' = 2, 'shipped' = 3, 'delivered' = 4)
)
-- Insert validation: invalid values rejected
INSERT INTO orders VALUES ('shiped'); -- ERROR: Unknown element 'shiped'
-- Natural ordering works automatically
SELECT * FROM orders ORDER BY status; -- Orders by enum value (1, 2, 3, 4)
-- Comparisons use natural order
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE status > 'processing'; -- shipped and delivered
```
**Enum Guidelines:**
| Scenario | Use |
|----------|-----|
| Fixed set of values known at schema time | Enum8/Enum16 |
| Values may change frequently | LowCardinality(String) |
| Need insert-time validation | Enum |

## Use LowCardinality for Repeated Strings
**Impact: HIGH**
String columns with repeated values store each value repeatedly. LowCardinality uses dictionary encoding for significant storage reduction.

country String, -- "United States" stored 500M times
browser String, -- "Chrome" stored 300M times
event_type String -- "page_view" stored 800M times

```
**Correct (LowCardinality for low unique counts):**
```sql
CREATE TABLE events (
country LowCardinality(String), -- ~200 unique values
browser LowCardinality(String), -- ~50 unique values
event_type LowCardinality(String) -- ~100 unique values
)
```
**When to use LowCardinality:**
| Unique Values | Recommendation |
|---------------|----------------|
| < 10,000 | Use LowCardinality |
| > 10,000 | Use regular String |
```sql
-- Check cardinality before deciding
SELECT uniq(column_name) FROM table_name;
```
**LowCardinality vs FixedString:**
Reserve `FixedString` for strictly fixed-length data (e.g., 2-char country codes). For most low-cardinality text, `LowCardinality(String)` outperforms `FixedString`.
```sql
-- FixedString: Only for truly fixed-length data
country_code FixedString(2), -- "US", "DE", "JP" - always 2 chars
-- LowCardinality: For variable-length low-cardinality strings
country_name LowCardinality(String), -- "United States", "Germany"

Shared code review workflow for Langfuse. Use when reviewing a PR, branch, diff,
or local changes for correctness, regressions, risk, and missing tests.
Start with references/review-checklist.md for repo-specific review rules and
use package AGENTS.md files plus any matching shared skills when the change
touches those areas.
---
# Code Review
Use this skill when the task is to review code changes rather than implement a
feature.
## Start Here
- Read [`references/review-checklist.md`](references/review-checklist.md) for
the repo's canonical review rules.
- Read root [`AGENTS.md`](../../../AGENTS.md) and the nearest package
`AGENTS.md` for the files under review.
- If the review touches ClickHouse, also use the shared
`clickhouse-best-practices` skill.
- If the review touches backend code, also use the shared
`backend-dev-guidelines` skill where relevant.
## Review Priorities
Focus on:
- correctness bugs
- behavioral regressions
- security and tenant-isolation risks
- performance issues with real impact
- missing or weak tests for risky changes
## Output Expectations
- Findings first, ordered by severity
- File and line references for each finding
- Short summary only after findings
- If no findings, say so explicitly and mention any residual risk or coverage gaps
## Scope Guidance
Use `references/review-checklist.md` for Langfuse-specific checks such as:
- ClickHouse and Postgres migration expectations
- project-scoped tenant isolation checks
- API/Fern consistency
- banner-offset UI positioning
- environment variable access patterns
Do not duplicate those rules in ad hoc prompts or tool-specific command files.

# Langfuse Review Checklist
This is the canonical shared review checklist for Langfuse.
## Database Migrations
### ClickHouse
- ClickHouse migrations in the `packages/shared/clickhouse/migrations/clustered` directory should include `ON CLUSTER default` and should use `Replicated` merge tree table types.
- E.g. `ReplacingMergeTree` is likely an error while `ReplicatedReplacingMergeTree` would be correct in most cases.
- ClickHouse migrations in the `packages/shared/clickhouse/migrations/unclustered` directory must not include `ON CLUSTER` statements and must not use `Replicated` merge tree table types.
- Migrations in `packages/shared/clickhouse/migrations/clustered` should match their counterparts in `packages/shared/clickhouse/migrations/unclustered` aside from the restrictions listed above.
- When adding new indexes on ClickHouse, ensure that there is a corresponding `MATERIALIZE INDEX` statement in the same migration. The materialization can use `SETTINGS mutations_sync = 2` if they operate on smaller tables, but may timeout otherwise.
- All ClickHouse queries on project-scoped tables (traces, observations, scores, events, sessions, etc.) must include `WHERE project_id = {projectId: String}` filter to ensure proper tenant isolation and that queries only access data from the intended project.
- For operations on the `events` table, you must never use the `FINAL` keyword as it kills performance. `events` is built so that `FINAL` is never required.
### Postgres
- Most `schema.prisma` changes should produce a change in `packages/shared/prisma/migrations`.
- All Prisma queries on project-scoped tables must include `projectId` in the WHERE clause (e.g., `where: { id: traceId, projectId }`) to ensure proper tenant isolation and that queries only access data from the intended project.
### Environment Variables
- Environment variables should be imported from the `env.mjs/ts` file of the respective package and not from `process.env.*` to ensure validation and typing.
## Redis Invocations
- Highlight usage of `redis.call` invocations. Those may have suboptimal redis cluster routing and will raise errors. Instead, use the native call patterns.
Example: `await redis?.call("SET", key, "1", "NX", "EX", TTLSeconds);` should use `await redis?.set(key, "1", "EX", TTLSeconds, "NX");` instead.
## Langfuse Cloud
- When attempting to confirm if the current environment is Langfuse Cloud in the frontend, use the `useLangfuseCloudRegion` hook and never environment variables directly.
## Banner Height System
- Use `top-banner-offset` instead of `top-0` for any elements that are positioned `sticky`, `fixed`, or `absolute` with a global reference point (e.g., `top-0`). This ensures proper spacing when system banners (payment, maintenance, etc.) are displayed.
- The banner height is managed through CSS variables (`--banner-height` and `--banner-offset`) defined in `web/src/styles/globals.css`.
- Banner components (like PaymentBanner) dynamically update `--banner-height` using ResizeObserver to track their actual height, ensuring accurate positioning even when banners resize (e.g., on mobile wrapping).
- Available Tailwind utilities:
- `top-banner-offset` / `pt-banner-offset` - For sticky/fixed/absolute positioning and padding
- `h-screen-with-banner` / `min-h-screen-with-banner` - For full-height containers accounting for banners
## JavaScript / TypeScript Style
- use concat instead of spread to avoid stack overflow with large arrays
## Seeder
- make sure that for new features with data model changes, the database seeder is adjusted.
## API Documentation
- Whenever a file in `web/src/features/public-api/types` changes, the `fern/apis` definition probably needs to be adjusted, too.
- `nullish` types should map to `optional<nullable<T>>` in fern.
- `nullable` types should map to `nullable<T>` in fern.
- `optional` types should map to `optional<T>` in fern.

Shared workflow for browser-based review of user-visible frontend changes in Langfuse.
Use when a change affects UI behavior, layout, styling, navigation, or browser-visible
regressions and should be checked with the Playwright MCP server before signoff.
---
# Frontend Browser Review
Use this skill when a change affects what users see or do in the browser.
## Start Here
- Read [`../../../web/AGENTS.md`](../../../web/AGENTS.md) for web-specific
entry points and test commands.
- Use the workspace `playwright` MCP server configured from the repo-owned
shared agent setup.
## When To Use It
- UI changes in `web/**`
- Layout, styling, or responsive behavior changes
- Changes to navigation or page flows
- Bug fixes where the failure mode is visible in the browser
- Final signoff for user-visible frontend work
## Review Loop
1. Start the app with `pnpm run dev:web` unless an existing local server is
already running.
2. Install Chromium with `pnpm run playwright:install` if Playwright has not
been set up on the machine yet.
3. Open the primary changed flow with the Playwright MCP server.
4. Exercise the main happy path affected by the change.
5. Check for obvious visual regressions:
- broken layout or spacing
- banner overlap or viewport anchoring issues
- missing loading, empty, or error states
- broken responsive behavior on narrow widths
6. If the page changed materially, inspect the resulting UI state and compare
it against the intended behavior from the task or existing patterns.
7. If the browser session fails, inspect traces and artifacts under
`.playwright-mcp/`.
## Output Expectations
Report:
1. What flow you reviewed
2. Whether the primary flow worked
3. Any visible regressions or follow-up risks
4. If review was blocked, exactly what prevented browser verification
## Scope Notes
- This skill complements, not replaces, targeted tests and linting.
- For implementation details, stay in `web/AGENTS.md` and package-local skills.
- Use this as the browser-signoff workflow, not as a generic frontend coding
guide.

# Turborepo Skill
Build system for JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos. Turborepo caches task outputs and runs tasks in parallel based on dependency graph.
## IMPORTANT: Package Tasks, Not Root Tasks
**DO NOT create Root Tasks. ALWAYS create package tasks.**
When creating tasks/scripts/pipelines, you MUST:
1. Add the script to each relevant package's `package.json`
2. Register the task in root `turbo.json`
3. Root `package.json` only delegates via `turbo run <task>`
**DO NOT** put task logic in root `package.json`. This defeats Turborepo's parallelization.
```json
// DO THIS: Scripts in each package
// apps/web/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "next build", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
// apps/api/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
// packages/ui/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
```
```json
// turbo.json - register tasks
{
"tasks": {
"build": { "dependsOn": ["^build"], "outputs": ["dist/**"] },
"lint": {},
"test": { "dependsOn": ["build"] }
}
}
```
```json
// Root package.json - ONLY delegates, no task logic
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"lint": "turbo run lint",
"test": "turbo run test"
}
}
```
```json
// DO NOT DO THIS - defeats parallelization
// Root package.json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "cd apps/web && next build && cd ../api && tsc",
"lint": "eslint apps/ packages/",
"test": "vitest"
}
}
```
Root Tasks (`//#taskname`) are ONLY for tasks that truly cannot exist in packages (rare).
## Secondary Rule: `turbo run` vs `turbo`
**Always use `turbo run` when the command is written into code:**
```json
// package.json - ALWAYS "turbo run"
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build"
}
}
```
```yaml
# CI workflows - ALWAYS "turbo run"
- run: turbo run build --affected
```
**The shorthand `turbo <tasks>` is ONLY for one-off terminal commands** typed directly by humans or agents. Never write `turbo build` into package.json, CI, or scripts.
## Quick Decision Trees
### "I need to configure a task"
```
Configure a task?
├─ Define task dependencies → references/configuration/tasks.md
├─ Lint/check-types (parallel + caching) → Use Transit Nodes pattern (see below)
├─ Specify build outputs → references/configuration/tasks.md#outputs
├─ Handle environment variables → references/environment/RULE.md
├─ Set up dev/watch tasks → references/configuration/tasks.md#persistent
├─ Package-specific config → references/configuration/RULE.md#package-configurations
└─ Global settings (cacheDir, daemon) → references/configuration/global-options.md
```
### "My cache isn't working"
```
Cache problems?
├─ Tasks run but outputs not restored → Missing `outputs` key
├─ Cache misses unexpectedly → references/caching/gotchas.md
├─ Need to debug hash inputs → Use --summarize or --dry
├─ Want to skip cache entirely → Use --force or cache: false
├─ Remote cache not working → references/caching/remote-cache.md
└─ Environment causing misses → references/environment/gotchas.md
```
### "I want to run only changed packages"
```
Run only what changed?
├─ Changed packages + dependents (RECOMMENDED) → turbo run build --affected
├─ Custom base branch → --affected --affected-base=origin/develop
├─ Manual git comparison → --filter=...[origin/main]
└─ See all filter options → references/filtering/RULE.md
```
**`--affected` is the primary way to run only changed packages.** It automatically compares against the default branch and includes dependents.
### "I want to filter packages"
```
Filter packages?
├─ Only changed packages → --affected (see above)
├─ By package name → --filter=web
├─ By directory → --filter=./apps/*
├─ Package + dependencies → --filter=web...
├─ Package + dependents → --filter=...web
└─ Complex combinations → references/filtering/patterns.md
```
### "Environment variables aren't working"
```
Environment issues?
├─ Vars not available at runtime → Strict mode filtering (default)
├─ Cache hits with wrong env → Var not in `env` key
├─ .env changes not causing rebuilds → .env not in `inputs`
├─ CI variables missing → references/environment/gotchas.md
└─ Framework vars (NEXT_PUBLIC_*) → Auto-included via inference
```
### "I need to set up CI"
```
CI setup?
├─ GitHub Actions → references/ci/github-actions.md
├─ Vercel deployment → references/ci/vercel.md
├─ Remote cache in CI → references/caching/remote-cache.md
├─ Only build changed packages → --affected flag
├─ Skip unnecessary builds → turbo-ignore (references/cli/commands.md)
└─ Skip container setup when no changes → turbo-ignore
```
### "I want to watch for changes during development"
```
Watch mode?
├─ Re-run tasks on change → turbo watch (references/watch/RULE.md)
├─ Dev servers with dependencies → Use `with` key (references/configuration/tasks.md#with)
├─ Restart dev server on dep change → Use `interruptible: true`
└─ Persistent dev tasks → Use `persistent: true`
```
### "I need to create/structure a package"
```
Package creation/structure?
├─ Create an internal package → references/best-practices/packages.md
├─ Repository structure → references/best-practices/structure.md
├─ Dependency management → references/best-practices/dependencies.md
├─ Best practices overview → references/best-practices/RULE.md
├─ JIT vs Compiled packages → references/best-practices/packages.md#compilation-strategies
└─ Sharing code between apps → references/best-practices/RULE.md#package-types
```
### "How should I structure my monorepo?"
```
Monorepo structure?
├─ Standard layout (apps/, packages/) → references/best-practices/RULE.md
├─ Package types (apps vs libraries) → references/best-practices/RULE.md#package-types
├─ Creating internal packages → references/best-practices/packages.md
├─ TypeScript configuration → references/best-practices/structure.md#typescript-configuration
├─ ESLint configuration → references/best-practices/structure.md#eslint-configuration
├─ Dependency management → references/best-practices/dependencies.md
└─ Enforce package boundaries → references/boundaries/RULE.md
```
### "I want to enforce architectural boundaries"
```
Enforce boundaries?
├─ Check for violations → turbo boundaries
├─ Tag packages → references/boundaries/RULE.md#tags
├─ Restrict which packages can import others → references/boundaries/RULE.md#rule-types
└─ Prevent cross-package file imports → references/boundaries/RULE.md
```
## Critical Anti-Patterns
### Using `turbo` Shorthand in Code
**`turbo run` is recommended in package.json scripts and CI pipelines.** The shorthand `turbo <task>` is intended for interactive terminal use.
```json
// WRONG - using shorthand in package.json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo build",
"dev": "turbo dev"
}
}
// CORRECT
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"dev": "turbo run dev"
}
}
```
```yaml
# WRONG - using shorthand in CI
- run: turbo build --affected
# CORRECT
- run: turbo run build --affected
```
### Root Scripts Bypassing Turbo
Root `package.json` scripts MUST delegate to `turbo run`, not run tasks directly.
```json
// WRONG - bypasses turbo entirely
{
"scripts": {
"build": "bun build",
"dev": "bun dev"
}
}
// CORRECT - delegates to turbo
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"dev": "turbo run dev"
}
}
```
### Using `&&` to Chain Turbo Tasks
Don't chain turbo tasks with `&&`. Let turbo orchestrate.
```json
// WRONG - turbo task not using turbo run
{
"scripts": {
"changeset:publish": "bun build && changeset publish"
}
}
// CORRECT
{
"scripts": {
"changeset:publish": "turbo run build && changeset publish"
}
}
```
### `prebuild` Scripts That Manually Build Dependencies
Scripts like `prebuild` that manually build other packages bypass Turborepo's dependency graph.
```json
// WRONG - manually building dependencies
{
"scripts": {
"prebuild": "cd ../../packages/types && bun run build && cd ../utils && bun run build",
"build": "next build"
}
}
```
**However, the fix depends on whether workspace dependencies are declared:**
1. **If dependencies ARE declared** (e.g., `"@repo/types": "workspace:*"` in package.json), remove the `prebuild` script. Turbo's `dependsOn: ["^build"]` handles this automatically.
2. **If dependencies are NOT declared**, the `prebuild` exists because `^build` won't trigger without a dependency relationship. The fix is to:
- Add the dependency to package.json: `"@repo/types": "workspace:*"`
- Then remove the `prebuild` script
```json
// CORRECT - declare dependency, let turbo handle build order
// package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"@repo/types": "workspace:*",
"@repo/utils": "workspace:*"
},
"scripts": {
"build": "next build"
}
}
// turbo.json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"]
}
}
}
```
**Key insight:** `^build` only runs build in packages listed as dependencies. No dependency declaration = no automatic build ordering.
### Overly Broad `globalDependencies`
`globalDependencies` affects ALL tasks in ALL packages via the **global hash** — tasks cannot opt out of specific files, even with negation globs in `inputs`. Be specific.
```json
// WRONG - heavy hammer, affects all hashes
{
"globalDependencies": ["**/.env.*local"]
}
// BETTER - move to task-level inputs
{
"globalDependencies": [".env"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
With `futureFlags.globalConfiguration`, this problem is reduced because `global.inputs` files are folded into each task's inputs (not the global hash). Tasks can exclude specific files:
```json
// BEST - global.inputs with per-task exclusion
{
"futureFlags": { "globalConfiguration": true },
"global": {
"inputs": [".env"]
},
"tasks": {
"build": { "outputs": ["dist/**"] },
"lint": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "!$TURBO_ROOT$/.env"]
}
}
}
```
### Repetitive Task Configuration
Look for repeated configuration across tasks that can be collapsed. Turborepo supports shared configuration patterns.
```json
// WRONG - repetitive env and inputs across tasks
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"]
},
"test": {
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"]
},
"dev": {
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"],
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
// BETTER - use globalEnv and globalDependencies for shared config
{
"globalEnv": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"globalDependencies": [".env*"],
"tasks": {
"build": {},
"test": {},
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
**When to use global vs task-level:**
- `globalEnv` / `globalDependencies` - affects ALL tasks, use for truly shared config
- Task-level `env` / `inputs` - use when only specific tasks need it
### NOT an Anti-Pattern: Large `env` Arrays
A large `env` array (even 50+ variables) is **not** a problem. It usually means the user was thorough about declaring their build's environment dependencies. Do not flag this as an issue.
### Using `--parallel` Flag
The `--parallel` flag bypasses Turborepo's dependency graph. If tasks need parallel execution, configure `dependsOn` correctly instead.
```bash
# WRONG - bypasses dependency graph
turbo run lint --parallel
# CORRECT - configure tasks to allow parallel execution
# In turbo.json, set dependsOn appropriately (or use transit nodes)
turbo run lint
```
### Package-Specific Task Overrides in Root turbo.json
When multiple packages need different task configurations, use **Package Configurations** (`turbo.json` in each package) instead of cluttering root `turbo.json` with `package#task` overrides.
```json
// WRONG - root turbo.json with many package-specific overrides
{
"tasks": {
"test": { "dependsOn": ["build"] },
"@repo/web#test": { "outputs": ["coverage/**"] },
"@repo/api#test": { "outputs": ["coverage/**"] },
"@repo/utils#test": { "outputs": [] },
"@repo/cli#test": { "outputs": [] },
"@repo/core#test": { "outputs": [] }
}
}
// CORRECT - use Package Configurations
// Root turbo.json - base config only
{
"tasks": {
"test": { "dependsOn": ["build"] }
}
}
// packages/web/turbo.json - package-specific override
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"test": { "outputs": ["coverage/**"] }
}
}
// packages/api/turbo.json
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"test": { "outputs": ["coverage/**"] }
}
}
```
**Benefits of Package Configurations:**
- Keeps configuration close to the code it affects
- Root turbo.json stays clean and focused on base patterns
- Easier to understand what's special about each package
- Works with `$TURBO_EXTENDS$` to inherit + extend arrays
**When to use `package#task` in root:**
- Single package needs a unique dependency (e.g., `"deploy": { "dependsOn": ["web#build"] }`)
- Temporary override while migrating
See `references/configuration/RULE.md#package-configurations` for full details.
### Using `../` to Traverse Out of Package in `inputs`
Don't use relative paths like `../` to reference files outside the package. Use `$TURBO_ROOT$` instead.
```json
// WRONG - traversing out of package
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "../shared-config.json"]
}
}
}
// CORRECT - use $TURBO_ROOT$ for repo root
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "$TURBO_ROOT$/shared-config.json"]
}
}
}
```
### Missing `outputs` for File-Producing Tasks
**Before flagging missing `outputs`, check what the task actually produces:**
1. Read the package's script (e.g., `"build": "tsc"`, `"test": "vitest"`)
2. Determine if it writes files to disk or only outputs to stdout
3. Only flag if the task produces files that should be cached
```json
// WRONG: build produces files but they're not cached
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"]
}
}
}
// CORRECT: build outputs are cached
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
Common outputs by framework:
- Next.js: `[".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]`
- Vite/Rollup: `["dist/**"]`
- tsc: `["dist/**"]` or custom `outDir`
**TypeScript `--noEmit` can still produce cache files:**
When `incremental: true` in tsconfig.json, `tsc --noEmit` writes `.tsbuildinfo` files even without emitting JS. Check the tsconfig before assuming no outputs:
```json
// If tsconfig has incremental: true, tsc --noEmit produces cache files
{
"tasks": {
"typecheck": {
"outputs": ["node_modules/.cache/tsbuildinfo.json"] // or wherever tsBuildInfoFile points
}
}
}
```
To determine correct outputs for TypeScript tasks:
1. Check if `incremental` or `composite` is enabled in tsconfig
2. Check `tsBuildInfoFile` for custom cache location (default: alongside `outDir` or in project root)
3. If no incremental mode, `tsc --noEmit` produces no files
### `^build` vs `build` Confusion
```json
{
"tasks": {
// ^build = run build in DEPENDENCIES first (other packages this one imports)
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"]
},
// build (no ^) = run build in SAME PACKAGE first
"test": {
"dependsOn": ["build"]
},
// pkg#task = specific package's task
"deploy": {
"dependsOn": ["web#build"]
}
}
}
```
### Environment Variables Not Hashed
```json
// WRONG: API_URL changes won't cause rebuilds
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
// CORRECT: API_URL changes invalidate cache
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": ["dist/**"],
"env": ["API_URL", "API_KEY"]
}
}
}
```
### `.env` Files Not in Inputs
Turbo does NOT load `.env` files - your framework does. But Turbo needs to know about changes:
```json
// WRONG: .env changes don't invalidate cache
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL"]
}
}
}
// CORRECT: .env file changes invalidate cache
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env", ".env.*"]
}
}
}
```
### Root `.env` File in Monorepo
A `.env` file at the repo root is an anti-pattern — even for small monorepos or starter templates. It creates implicit coupling between packages and makes it unclear which packages depend on which variables.
```
// WRONG - root .env affects all packages implicitly
my-monorepo/
├── .env # Which packages use this?
├── apps/
│ ├── web/
│ └── api/
└── packages/
// CORRECT - .env files in packages that need them
my-monorepo/
├── apps/
│ ├── web/
│ │ └── .env # Clear: web needs DATABASE_URL
│ └── api/
│ └── .env # Clear: api needs API_KEY
└── packages/
```
**Problems with root `.env`:**
- Unclear which packages consume which variables
- All packages get all variables (even ones they don't need)
- Cache invalidation is coarse-grained (root .env change invalidates everything)
- Security risk: packages may accidentally access sensitive vars meant for others
- Bad habits start small — starter templates should model correct patterns
**If you must share variables**, use `globalEnv` to be explicit about what's shared, and document why.
### Strict Mode Filtering CI Variables
By default, Turborepo filters environment variables to only those in `env`/`globalEnv`. CI variables may be missing:
```json
// If CI scripts need GITHUB_TOKEN but it's not in env:
{
"globalPassThroughEnv": ["GITHUB_TOKEN", "CI"],
"tasks": { ... }
}
```
Or use `--env-mode=loose` (not recommended for production).
### Shared Code in Apps (Should Be a Package)
```
// WRONG: Shared code inside an app
apps/
web/
shared/ # This breaks monorepo principles!
utils.ts
// CORRECT: Extract to a package
packages/
utils/
src/utils.ts
```
### Accessing Files Across Package Boundaries
```typescript
// WRONG: Reaching into another package's internals
import { Button } from "../../packages/ui/src/button";
// CORRECT: Install and import properly
import { Button } from "@repo/ui/button";
```
### Too Many Root Dependencies
```json
// WRONG: App dependencies in root
{
"dependencies": {
"react": "^18",
"next": "^14"
}
}
// CORRECT: Only repo tools in root
{
"devDependencies": {
"turbo": "latest"
}
}
```
## Common Task Configurations
### Standard Build Pipeline
```json
{
"$schema": "https://v2-8-21-canary-9.turborepo.dev/schema.json",
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
},
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
Add a `transit` task if you have tasks that need parallel execution with cache invalidation (see below).
### Dev Task with `^dev` Pattern (for `turbo watch`)
A `dev` task with `dependsOn: ["^dev"]` and `persistent: false` in root turbo.json may look unusual but is **correct for `turbo watch` workflows**:
```json
// Root turbo.json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"dependsOn": ["^dev"],
"cache": false,
"persistent": false // Packages have one-shot dev scripts
}
}
}
// Package turbo.json (apps/web/turbo.json)
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"persistent": true // Apps run long-running dev servers
}
}
}
```
**Why this works:**
- **Packages** (e.g., `@acme/db`, `@acme/validators`) have `"dev": "tsc"` — one-shot type generation that completes quickly
- **Apps** override with `persistent: true` for actual dev servers (Next.js, etc.)
- **`turbo watch`** re-runs the one-shot package `dev` scripts when source files change, keeping types in sync
**Intended usage:** Run `turbo watch dev` (not `turbo run dev`). Watch mode re-executes one-shot tasks on file changes while keeping persistent tasks running.
**Alternative pattern:** Use a separate task name like `prepare` or `generate` for one-shot dependency builds to make the intent clearer:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"prepare": {
"dependsOn": ["^prepare"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
},
"dev": {
"dependsOn": ["prepare"],
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
### Transit Nodes for Parallel Tasks with Cache Invalidation
Some tasks can run in parallel (don't need built output from dependencies) but must invalidate cache when dependency source code changes.
**The problem with `dependsOn: ["^taskname"]`:**
- Forces sequential execution (slow)
**The problem with `dependsOn: []` (no dependencies):**
- Allows parallel execution (fast)
- But cache is INCORRECT - changing dependency source won't invalidate cache
**Transit Nodes solve both:**
```json
{
"tasks": {
"transit": { "dependsOn": ["^transit"] },
"my-task": { "dependsOn": ["transit"] }
}
}
```
The `transit` task creates dependency relationships without matching any actual script, so tasks run in parallel with correct cache invalidation.
**How to identify tasks that need this pattern:** Look for tasks that read source files from dependencies but don't need their build outputs.
### With Environment Variables
```json
{
"globalEnv": ["NODE_ENV"],
"globalDependencies": [".env"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"],
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"]
}
}
}
```
With `futureFlags.globalConfiguration`, the same config moves global settings under `global` — and `.env` becomes a per-task input instead of a global hash input:
```json
{
"futureFlags": { "globalConfiguration": true },
"global": {
"env": ["NODE_ENV"],
"inputs": [".env"]
},
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"],
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"]
}
}
}
```

---
Load the Turborepo skill and help with monorepo task orchestration: creating workflows, configuring tasks, setting up pipelines, and optimizing builds.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Load turborepo skill
```
skill({ name: 'turborepo' })
```
### Step 2: Identify task type from user request
Analyze $ARGUMENTS to determine:
- **Topic**: configuration, caching, filtering, environment, CI, or CLI
- **Task type**: new setup, debugging, optimization, or implementation
Use decision trees in SKILL.md to select the relevant reference files.
### Step 3: Read relevant reference files
Based on task type, read from `references/<topic>/`:
| Task | Files to Read |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Configure turbo.json | `configuration/RULE.md` + `configuration/tasks.md` |
| Debug cache issues | `caching/gotchas.md` |
| Set up remote cache | `caching/remote-cache.md` |
| Filter packages | `filtering/RULE.md` + `filtering/patterns.md` |
| Environment problems | `environment/gotchas.md` + `environment/modes.md` |
| Set up CI | `ci/RULE.md` + `ci/github-actions.md` or `ci/vercel.md` |
| CLI usage | `cli/commands.md` |
### Step 4: Execute task
Apply Turborepo-specific patterns from references to complete the user's request.
**CRITICAL - When creating tasks/scripts/pipelines:**
1. **DO NOT create Root Tasks** - Always create package tasks
2. Add scripts to each relevant package's `package.json` (e.g., `apps/web/package.json`, `packages/ui/package.json`)
3. Register the task in root `turbo.json`
4. Root `package.json` only contains `turbo run <task>` - never actual task logic
**Other things to verify:**
- `outputs` defined for cacheable tasks
- `dependsOn` uses correct syntax (`^task` vs `task`)
- Environment variables in `env` key
- `.env` files in `inputs` if used
- Use `turbo run` (not `turbo`) in package.json and CI
### Step 5: Summarize

# Monorepo Best Practices
Essential patterns for structuring and maintaining a healthy Turborepo monorepo.
## Repository Structure
### Standard Layout
```
my-monorepo/
├── apps/ # Application packages (deployable)
│ ├── web/
│ ├── docs/
│ └── api/
├── packages/ # Library packages (shared code)
│ ├── ui/
│ ├── utils/
│ └── config-*/ # Shared configs (eslint, typescript, etc.)
├── package.json # Root package.json (minimal deps)
├── turbo.json # Turborepo configuration
├── pnpm-workspace.yaml # (pnpm) or workspaces in package.json
└── pnpm-lock.yaml # Lockfile (required)
```
### Key Principles
1. **`apps/` for deployables**: Next.js sites, APIs, CLIs - things that get deployed
2. **`packages/` for libraries**: Shared code consumed by apps or other packages
3. **One purpose per package**: Each package should do one thing well
4. **No nested packages**: Don't put packages inside packages
## Package Types
### Application Packages (`apps/`)
- **Deployable**: These are the "endpoints" of your package graph
- **Not installed by other packages**: Apps shouldn't be dependencies of other packages
- **No shared code**: If code needs sharing, extract to `packages/`
```json
// apps/web/package.json
{
"name": "web",
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
"@repo/ui": "workspace:*",
"next": "latest"
}
}
```
### Library Packages (`packages/`)
- **Shared code**: Utilities, components, configs
- **Namespaced names**: Use `@repo/` or `@yourorg/` prefix
- **Clear exports**: Define what the package exposes
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/ui",
"exports": {
"./button": "./src/button.tsx",
"./card": "./src/card.tsx"
}
}
```
## Package Compilation Strategies
### Just-in-Time (Simplest)
Export TypeScript directly; let the app's bundler compile it.
```json
{
"name": "@repo/ui",
"exports": {
"./button": "./src/button.tsx"
}
}
```
**Pros**: Zero build config, instant changes
**Cons**: Can't cache builds, requires app bundler support
### Compiled (Recommended for Libraries)
Package compiles itself with `tsc` or bundler.
```json
{
"name": "@repo/ui",
"exports": {
"./button": {
"types": "./src/button.tsx",
"default": "./dist/button.js"
}
},
"scripts": {
"build": "tsc"
}
}
```
**Pros**: Cacheable by Turborepo, works everywhere
**Cons**: More configuration
## Dependency Management
### Install Where Used
Install dependencies in the package that uses them, not the root.
```bash
# Good: Install in the package that needs it
pnpm add lodash --filter=@repo/utils
# Avoid: Installing everything at root
pnpm add lodash -w # Only for repo-level tools
```
### Root Dependencies
Only these belong in root `package.json`:
- `turbo` - The build system
- `husky`, `lint-staged` - Git hooks
- Repository-level tooling
### Internal Dependencies
Use workspace protocol for internal packages:
```json
// pnpm/bun
{ "@repo/ui": "workspace:*" }
// npm/yarn
{ "@repo/ui": "*" }
```
## Exports Best Practices
### Use `exports` Field (Not `main`)
```json
{
"exports": {
".": "./src/index.ts",
"./button": "./src/button.tsx",
"./utils": "./src/utils.ts"
}
}
```
### Avoid Barrel Files
Don't create `index.ts` files that re-export everything:
```typescript
// BAD: packages/ui/src/index.ts
export * from './button';
export * from './card';
export * from './modal';
// ... imports everything even if you need one thing
// GOOD: Direct exports in package.json
{
"exports": {
"./button": "./src/button.tsx",
"./card": "./src/card.tsx"
}
}
```
### Namespace Your Packages
```json
// Good
{ "name": "@repo/ui" }
{ "name": "@acme/utils" }
// Avoid (conflicts with npm registry)
{ "name": "ui" }
{ "name": "utils" }
```
## Common Anti-Patterns
### Accessing Files Across Package Boundaries
```typescript
// BAD: Reaching into another package
import { Button } from "../../packages/ui/src/button";
// GOOD: Install and import properly
import { Button } from "@repo/ui/button";
```
### Shared Code in Apps
```
// BAD
apps/
web/
shared/ # This should be a package!
utils.ts
// GOOD
packages/
utils/ # Proper shared package
src/utils.ts
```
### Too Many Root Dependencies
```json
// BAD: Root has app dependencies
{
"dependencies": {
"react": "^18",
"next": "^14",
"lodash": "^4"
}
}
// GOOD: Root only has repo tools
{
"devDependencies": {
"turbo": "latest",
"husky": "latest"
}
}
```

# Dependency Management
Best practices for managing dependencies in a Turborepo monorepo.
## Core Principle: Install Where Used
Dependencies belong in the package that uses them, not the root.
```bash
# Good: Install in specific package
pnpm add react --filter=@repo/ui
pnpm add next --filter=web
# Avoid: Installing in root
pnpm add react -w # Only for repo-level tools!
```
## Benefits of Local Installation
### 1. Clarity
Each package's `package.json` lists exactly what it needs:
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"react": "^18.0.0",
"class-variance-authority": "^0.7.0"
}
}
```
### 2. Flexibility
Different packages can use different versions when needed:
```json
// packages/legacy-ui/package.json
{ "dependencies": { "react": "^17.0.0" } }
// packages/ui/package.json
{ "dependencies": { "react": "^18.0.0" } }
```
### 3. Better Caching
Installing in root changes workspace lockfile, invalidating all caches.
### 4. Pruning Support
`turbo prune` can remove unused dependencies for Docker images.
## What Belongs in Root
Only repository-level tools:
```json
// Root package.json
{
"devDependencies": {
"turbo": "latest",
"husky": "^8.0.0",
"lint-staged": "^15.0.0"
}
}
```
**NOT** application dependencies:
- react, next, express
- lodash, axios, zod
- Testing libraries (unless truly repo-wide)
## Installing Dependencies
### Single Package
```bash
# pnpm
pnpm add lodash --filter=@repo/utils
# npm
npm install lodash --workspace=@repo/utils
# yarn
yarn workspace @repo/utils add lodash
# bun
cd packages/utils && bun add lodash
```
### Multiple Packages
```bash
# pnpm
pnpm add jest --save-dev --filter=web --filter=@repo/ui
# npm
npm install jest --save-dev --workspace=web --workspace=@repo/ui
# yarn (v2+)
yarn workspaces foreach -R --from '{web,@repo/ui}' add jest --dev
```
### Internal Packages
```bash
# pnpm
pnpm add @repo/ui --filter=web
# This updates package.json:
{
"dependencies": {
"@repo/ui": "workspace:*"
}
}
```
## Keeping Versions in Sync
### Option 1: Tooling
```bash
# syncpack - Check and fix version mismatches
npx syncpack list-mismatches
npx syncpack fix-mismatches
# manypkg - Similar functionality
npx @manypkg/cli check
npx @manypkg/cli fix
# sherif - Rust-based, very fast
npx sherif
```
### Option 2: Package Manager Commands
```bash
# pnpm - Update everywhere
pnpm up --recursive typescript@latest
# npm - Update in all workspaces
npm install typescript@latest --workspaces
```
### Option 3: pnpm Catalogs (pnpm 9.5+)
```yaml
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
- "apps/*"
- "packages/*"
catalog:
react: ^18.2.0
typescript: ^5.3.0
```
```json
// Any package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"react": "catalog:" // Uses version from catalog
}
}
```
## Internal vs External Dependencies
### Internal (Workspace)
```json
// pnpm/bun
{ "@repo/ui": "workspace:*" }
// npm/yarn
{ "@repo/ui": "*" }
```
Turborepo understands these relationships and orders builds accordingly.
### External (npm Registry)
```json
{ "lodash": "^4.17.21" }
```
Standard semver versioning from npm.
## Peer Dependencies
For library packages that expect the consumer to provide dependencies:
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"peerDependencies": {
"react": "^18.0.0",
"react-dom": "^18.0.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"react": "^18.0.0", // For development/testing
"react-dom": "^18.0.0"
}
}
```
## Common Issues
### "Module not found"
1. Check the dependency is installed in the right package
2. Run `pnpm install` / `npm install` to update lockfile
3. Check exports are defined in the package
### Version Conflicts
Packages can use different versions - this is a feature, not a bug. But if you need consistency:
1. Use tooling (syncpack, manypkg)
2. Use pnpm catalogs
3. Create a lint rule
### Hoisting Issues
Some tools expect dependencies in specific locations. Use package manager config:
```yaml
# .npmrc (pnpm)
public-hoist-pattern[]=*eslint*
public-hoist-pattern[]=*prettier*
```
## Lockfile
**Required** for:
- Reproducible builds
- Turborepo dependency analysis
- Cache correctness
```bash
# Commit your lockfile!
git add pnpm-lock.yaml # or package-lock.json, yarn.lock
```

# Creating Internal Packages
How to create and structure internal packages in your monorepo.
## Package Creation Checklist
1. Create directory in `packages/`
2. Add `package.json` with name and exports
3. Add source code in `src/`
4. Add `tsconfig.json` if using TypeScript
5. Install as dependency in consuming packages
6. Run package manager install to update lockfile
## Package Compilation Strategies
### Just-in-Time (JIT)
Export TypeScript directly. The consuming app's bundler compiles it.
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/ui",
"exports": {
"./button": "./src/button.tsx",
"./card": "./src/card.tsx"
},
"scripts": {
"lint": "eslint .",
"check-types": "tsc --noEmit"
}
}
```
**When to use:**
- Apps use modern bundlers (Turbopack, webpack, Vite)
- You want minimal configuration
- Build times are acceptable without caching
**Limitations:**
- No Turborepo cache for the package itself
- Consumer must support TypeScript compilation
- Can't use TypeScript `paths` (use Node.js subpath imports instead)
### Compiled
Package handles its own compilation.
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/ui",
"exports": {
"./button": {
"types": "./src/button.tsx",
"default": "./dist/button.js"
}
},
"scripts": {
"build": "tsc",
"dev": "tsc --watch"
}
}
```
```json
// packages/ui/tsconfig.json
{
"extends": "@repo/typescript-config/library.json",
"compilerOptions": {
"outDir": "dist",
"rootDir": "src"
},
"include": ["src"],
"exclude": ["node_modules", "dist"]
}
```
**When to use:**
- You want Turborepo to cache builds
- Package will be used by non-bundler tools
- You need maximum compatibility
**Remember:** Add `dist/**` to turbo.json outputs!
## Defining Exports
### Multiple Entrypoints
```json
{
"exports": {
".": "./src/index.ts", // @repo/ui
"./button": "./src/button.tsx", // @repo/ui/button
"./card": "./src/card.tsx", // @repo/ui/card
"./hooks": "./src/hooks/index.ts" // @repo/ui/hooks
}
}
```
### Conditional Exports (Compiled)
```json
{
"exports": {
"./button": {
"types": "./src/button.tsx",
"import": "./dist/button.mjs",
"require": "./dist/button.cjs",
"default": "./dist/button.js"
}
}
}
```
## Installing Internal Packages
### Add to Consuming Package
```json
// apps/web/package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"@repo/ui": "workspace:*" // pnpm/bun
// "@repo/ui": "*" // npm/yarn
}
}
```
### Run Install
```bash
pnpm install # Updates lockfile with new dependency
```
### Import and Use
```typescript
// apps/web/src/page.tsx
import { Button } from '@repo/ui/button';
export default function Page() {
return <Button>Click me</Button>;
}
```
## One Purpose Per Package
### Good Examples
```
packages/
├── ui/ # Shared UI components
├── utils/ # General utilities
├── auth/ # Authentication logic
├── database/ # Database client/schemas
├── eslint-config/ # ESLint configuration
├── typescript-config/ # TypeScript configuration
└── api-client/ # Generated API client
```
### Avoid Mega-Packages
```
// BAD: One package for everything
packages/
└── shared/
├── components/
├── utils/
├── hooks/
├── types/
└── api/
// GOOD: Separate by purpose
packages/
├── ui/ # Components
├── utils/ # Utilities
├── hooks/ # React hooks
├── types/ # Shared TypeScript types
└── api-client/ # API utilities
```
## Config Packages
### TypeScript Config
```json
// packages/typescript-config/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/typescript-config",
"exports": {
"./base.json": "./base.json",
"./nextjs.json": "./nextjs.json",
"./library.json": "./library.json"
}
}
```
### ESLint Config
```json
// packages/eslint-config/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/eslint-config",
"exports": {
"./base": "./base.js",
"./next": "./next.js"
},
"dependencies": {
"eslint": "^8.0.0",
"eslint-config-next": "latest"
}
}
```
## Common Mistakes
### Forgetting to Export
```json
// BAD: No exports defined
{
"name": "@repo/ui"
}
// GOOD: Clear exports
{
"name": "@repo/ui",
"exports": {
"./button": "./src/button.tsx"
}
}
```
### Wrong Workspace Syntax
```json
// pnpm/bun
{ "@repo/ui": "workspace:*" } // Correct
// npm/yarn
{ "@repo/ui": "*" } // Correct
{ "@repo/ui": "workspace:*" } // Wrong for npm/yarn!
```
### Missing from turbo.json Outputs
```json
// Package builds to dist/, but turbo.json doesn't know
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": [".next/**"] // Missing dist/**!
}
}
}
// Correct
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": [".next/**", "dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
## TypeScript Best Practices
### Use Node.js Subpath Imports (Not `paths`)
TypeScript `compilerOptions.paths` breaks with JIT packages. Use Node.js subpath imports instead (TypeScript 5.4+).
**JIT Package:**
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"imports": {
"#*": "./src/*"
}
}
```
```typescript
// packages/ui/button.tsx
import { MY_STRING } from "#utils.ts"; // Uses .ts extension
```
**Compiled Package:**
```json
// packages/ui/package.json
{
"imports": {
"#*": "./dist/*"
}
}
```
```typescript
// packages/ui/button.tsx
import { MY_STRING } from "#utils.js"; // Uses .js extension
```
### Use `tsc` for Internal Packages
For internal packages, prefer `tsc` over bundlers. Bundlers can mangle code before it reaches your app's bundler, causing hard-to-debug issues.
### Enable Go-to-Definition
For Compiled Packages, enable declaration maps:
```json
// tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"declaration": true,
"declarationMap": true
}
}
```
This creates `.d.ts` and `.d.ts.map` files for IDE navigation.
### No Root tsconfig.json Needed
Each package should have its own `tsconfig.json`. A root one causes all tasks to miss cache when changed. Only use root `tsconfig.json` for non-package scripts.
### Avoid TypeScript Project References
They add complexity and another caching layer. Turborepo handles dependencies better.

# Repository Structure
Detailed guidance on structuring a Turborepo monorepo.
## Workspace Configuration
### pnpm (Recommended)
```yaml
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
- "apps/*"
- "packages/*"
```
### npm/yarn/bun
```json
// package.json
{
"workspaces": ["apps/*", "packages/*"]
}
```
## Root package.json
```json
{
"name": "my-monorepo",
"private": true,
"packageManager": "pnpm@9.0.0",
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"dev": "turbo run dev",
"lint": "turbo run lint",
"test": "turbo run test"
},
"devDependencies": {
"turbo": "latest"
}
}
```
Key points:
- `private: true` - Prevents accidental publishing
- `packageManager` - Enforces consistent package manager version
- **Scripts only delegate to `turbo run`** - No actual build logic here!
- Minimal devDependencies (just turbo and repo tools)
## Always Prefer Package Tasks
**Always use package tasks. Only use Root Tasks if you cannot succeed with package tasks.**
```json
// packages/web/package.json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "next build",
"lint": "eslint .",
"test": "vitest",
"typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
}
}
// packages/api/package.json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "tsc",
"lint": "eslint .",
"test": "vitest",
"typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
}
}
```
Package tasks enable Turborepo to:
1. **Parallelize** - Run `web#lint` and `api#lint` simultaneously
2. **Cache individually** - Each package's task output is cached separately
3. **Filter precisely** - Run `turbo run test --filter=web` for just one package
**Root Tasks are a fallback** for tasks that truly cannot run per-package:
```json
// AVOID unless necessary - sequential, not parallelized, can't filter
{
"scripts": {
"lint": "eslint apps/web && eslint apps/api && eslint packages/ui"
}
}
```
## Root turbo.json
```json
{
"$schema": "https://v2-8-21-canary-9.turborepo.dev/schema.json",
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
},
"lint": {},
"test": {
"dependsOn": ["build"]
},
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
With `futureFlags.globalConfiguration`, global settings move under a `global` key:
```json
{
"$schema": "https://v2-8-21-canary-9.turborepo.dev/schema.json",
"futureFlags": { "globalConfiguration": true },
"global": {
"inputs": ["tsconfig.json"],
"env": ["CI"]
},
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
},
"lint": {},
"test": {
"dependsOn": ["build"]
},
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
## Directory Organization
### Grouping Packages
You can group packages by adding more workspace paths:
```yaml
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
- "apps/*"
- "packages/*"
- "packages/config/*" # Grouped configs
- "packages/features/*" # Feature packages
```
This allows:
```
packages/
├── ui/
├── utils/
├── config/
│ ├── eslint/
│ ├── typescript/
│ └── tailwind/
└── features/
├── auth/
└── payments/
```
### What NOT to Do
```yaml
# BAD: Nested wildcards cause ambiguous behavior
packages:
- "packages/**" # Don't do this!
```
## Package Anatomy
### Minimum Required Files
```
packages/ui/
├── package.json # Required: Makes it a package
├── src/ # Source code
│ └── button.tsx
└── tsconfig.json # TypeScript config (if using TS)
```
### package.json Requirements
```json
{
"name": "@repo/ui", // Unique, namespaced name
"version": "0.0.0", // Version (can be 0.0.0 for internal)
"private": true, // Prevents accidental publishing
"exports": {
// Entry points
"./button": "./src/button.tsx"
}
}
```
## TypeScript Configuration
### Shared Base Config
Create a shared TypeScript config package:
```
packages/
└── typescript-config/
├── package.json
├── base.json
├── nextjs.json
└── library.json
```
```json
// packages/typescript-config/base.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"strict": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"skipLibCheck": true,
"moduleResolution": "bundler",
"module": "ESNext",
"target": "ES2022"
}
}
```
### Extending in Packages
```json
// packages/ui/tsconfig.json
{
"extends": "@repo/typescript-config/library.json",
"compilerOptions": {
"outDir": "dist",
"rootDir": "src"
},
"include": ["src"],
"exclude": ["node_modules", "dist"]
}
```
### No Root tsconfig.json
You likely don't need a `tsconfig.json` in the workspace root. Each package should have its own config extending from the shared config package.
## ESLint Configuration
### Shared Config Package
```
packages/
└── eslint-config/
├── package.json
├── base.js
├── next.js
└── library.js
```
```json
// packages/eslint-config/package.json
{
"name": "@repo/eslint-config",
"exports": {
"./base": "./base.js",
"./next": "./next.js",
"./library": "./library.js"
}
}
```
### Using in Packages
```js
// apps/web/.eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
extends: ["@repo/eslint-config/next"]
};
```
## Lockfile
A lockfile is **required** for:
- Reproducible builds
- Turborepo to understand package dependencies
- Cache correctness
Without a lockfile, you'll see unpredictable behavior.

# Boundaries
**Experimental feature** - See [RFC](https://github.com/vercel/turborepo/discussions/9435)
Full docs: https://turborepo.dev/docs/reference/boundaries
Boundaries enforce package isolation by detecting:
1. Imports of files outside the package's directory
2. Imports of packages not declared in `package.json` dependencies
## Usage
```bash
turbo boundaries
```
Run this to check for workspace violations across your monorepo.
## Tags
Tags allow you to create rules for which packages can depend on each other.
### Adding Tags to a Package
```json
// packages/ui/turbo.json
{
"tags": ["internal"]
}
```
### Configuring Tag Rules
Rules go in root `turbo.json`:
```json
// turbo.json
{
"boundaries": {
"tags": {
"public": {
"dependencies": {
"deny": ["internal"]
}
}
}
}
}
```
This prevents `public`-tagged packages from importing `internal`-tagged packages.
### Rule Types
**Allow-list approach** (only allow specific tags):
```json
{
"boundaries": {
"tags": {
"public": {
"dependencies": {
"allow": ["public"]
}
}
}
}
}
```
**Deny-list approach** (block specific tags):
```json
{
"boundaries": {
"tags": {
"public": {
"dependencies": {
"deny": ["internal"]
}
}
}
}
}
```
**Restrict dependents** (who can import this package):
```json
{
"boundaries": {
"tags": {
"private": {
"dependents": {
"deny": ["public"]
}
}
}
}
}
```
### Using Package Names
Package names work in place of tags:
```json
{
"boundaries": {
"tags": {
"private": {
"dependents": {
"deny": ["@repo/my-pkg"]
}
}
}
}
}
```
## Key Points
- Rules apply transitively (dependencies of dependencies)
- Helps enforce architectural boundaries at scale
- Catches violations before runtime/build errors

# How Turborepo Caching Works
Turborepo's core principle: **never do the same work twice**.
## The Cache Equation
```
fingerprint(inputs) → stored outputs
```
If inputs haven't changed, restore outputs from cache instead of re-running the task.
## What Determines the Cache Key
### Global Hash Inputs
These affect ALL tasks in the repo:
- `package-lock.json` / `yarn.lock` / `pnpm-lock.yaml`
- Files listed in `globalDependencies` (or `global.env` when using `globalConfiguration`)
- Environment variables in `globalEnv` (or `global.env`)
- `turbo.json` configuration
```json
{
"globalDependencies": [".env", "tsconfig.base.json"],
"globalEnv": ["CI", "NODE_ENV"]
}
```
### Task Hash Inputs
These affect specific tasks:
- All files in the package (unless filtered by `inputs`)
- `package.json` contents
- Environment variables in task's `env` key
- Task configuration (command, outputs, dependencies)
- Hashes of dependent tasks (`dependsOn`)
- Files from `global.inputs` (when using `futureFlags.globalConfiguration` — see below)
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"inputs": ["src/**", "package.json", "tsconfig.json"],
"env": ["API_URL"]
}
}
}
```
### How `global.inputs` Changes the Hash Equation
When `futureFlags.globalConfiguration` is enabled, `global.inputs` files are **not** part of the global hash. Instead, they are prepended to every task's `inputs` and folded into the **task hash**. This is a fundamental change from `globalDependencies`.
**With `globalDependencies` (default):**
```
task cache key = hash(global hash, task hash)
↑ includes globalDependencies file hashes
```
Changing a `globalDependencies` file invalidates **every** task, regardless of task-level `inputs`. There is no way for a task to opt out.
**With `global.inputs` (`futureFlags.globalConfiguration`):**
```
task cache key = hash(global hash, task hash)
↑ includes global.inputs file hashes (merged with task inputs)
```
`global.inputs` files are merged into each task's input globs. This means:
- Tasks can **exclude** specific global files with negation globs: `"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "!$TURBO_ROOT$/tsconfig.json"]`
- The global hash is smaller (it still includes lockfile, engines, `global.env`, etc. — but not file hashes from `global.inputs`)
- The task hash correctly includes the global input file hashes alongside the task's own inputs
```json
{
"futureFlags": { "globalConfiguration": true },
"global": {
"inputs": ["tsconfig.json", ".env"]
},
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
},
"lint": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "!$TURBO_ROOT$/tsconfig.json"]
}
}
}
```
In this example, changing `tsconfig.json` invalidates `build` (it's in the task's inputs) but **not** `lint` (which explicitly excludes it). With `globalDependencies`, both would have been invalidated.
## What Gets Cached
1. **File outputs** - files/directories specified in `outputs`
2. **Task logs** - stdout/stderr for replay on cache hit
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**"]
}
}
}
```
## Local Cache Location
```
.turbo/cache/
├── <hash1>.tar.zst # compressed outputs
├── <hash2>.tar.zst
└── ...
```
Add `.turbo` to `.gitignore`.
## Cache Restoration
On cache hit, Turborepo:
1. Extracts archived outputs to their original locations
2. Replays the logged stdout/stderr
3. Reports the task as cached (shows `FULL TURBO` in output)
## Example Flow
```bash
# First run - executes build, caches result
turbo build
# → packages/ui: cache miss, executing...
# → packages/web: cache miss, executing...
# Second run - same inputs, restores from cache
turbo build
# → packages/ui: cache hit, replaying output
# → packages/web: cache hit, replaying output
# → FULL TURBO
```
## Key Points
- Cache is content-addressed (based on input hash, not timestamps)
- Empty `outputs` array means task runs but nothing is cached
- Tasks without `outputs` key cache nothing (use `"outputs": []` to be explicit)
- Cache is invalidated when ANY input changes

# Debugging Cache Issues
## Diagnostic Tools
### `--summarize`
Generates a JSON file with all hash inputs. Compare two runs to find differences.
```bash
turbo build --summarize
# Creates .turbo/runs/<run-id>.json
```
The summary includes:
- Global hash and its inputs
- Per-task hashes and their inputs
- Environment variables that affected the hash
**Comparing runs:**
```bash
# Run twice, compare the summaries
diff .turbo/runs/<first-run>.json .turbo/runs/<second-run>.json
```
### `--dry` / `--dry=json`
See what would run without executing anything:
```bash
turbo build --dry
turbo build --dry=json # machine-readable output
```
Shows cache status for each task without running them.
### `--force`
Skip reading cache, re-execute all tasks:
```bash
turbo build --force
```
Useful to verify tasks actually work (not just cached results).
## Unexpected Cache Misses
**Symptom:** Task runs when you expected a cache hit.
### Environment Variable Changed
Check if an env var in the `env` key changed:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL", "NODE_ENV"]
}
}
}
```
Different `API_URL` between runs = cache miss.
### .env File Changed
`.env` files aren't tracked by default. Add to `inputs`:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env", ".env.local"]
}
}
}
```
Or use `globalDependencies` for repo-wide env files:
```json
{
"globalDependencies": [".env"]
}
```
With `futureFlags.globalConfiguration`, use `global.inputs` instead. The key difference: `global.inputs` files are folded into each task's hash individually (not the global hash), so tasks can exclude specific files with negation globs.
```json
{
"futureFlags": { "globalConfiguration": true },
"global": {
"inputs": [".env"]
}
}
```
### Lockfile Changed
Installing/updating packages changes the global hash.
### Source Files Changed
Any file in the package (or in `inputs`) triggers a miss.
### turbo.json Changed
Config changes invalidate the global hash.
## Incorrect Cache Hits
**Symptom:** Cached output is stale/wrong.
### Missing Environment Variable
Task uses an env var not listed in `env`:
```javascript
// build.js
const apiUrl = process.env.API_URL; // not tracked!
```
Fix: add to task config:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL"]
}
}
}
```
### Missing File in Inputs
Task reads a file outside default inputs:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": [
"$TURBO_DEFAULT$",
"../../shared-config.json" // file outside package
]
}
}
}
```
## Useful Flags
```bash
# Only show output for cache misses
turbo build --output-logs=new-only
# Show output for everything (debugging)
turbo build --output-logs=full
# See why tasks are running
turbo build --verbosity=2
```
## Debugging with `globalConfiguration` Enabled
When `futureFlags.globalConfiguration` is on, `global.inputs` files appear in per-task hash inputs (not the global hash). If you're getting unexpected cache misses:
1. Check `--summarize` output — global input files will show up in the **task inputs** section, not the global hash section
2. Verify tasks aren't accidentally excluding global inputs via negation globs in `inputs`
3. Remember that toggling the `globalConfiguration` flag itself invalidates all caches (the flag value is part of the global hash)
If you're getting unexpected cache **hits** after changing a global input file, the task may be excluding that file with a negation glob. Check the task's `inputs` for `!$TURBO_ROOT$/...` patterns.
## Quick Checklist
Cache miss when expected hit:
1. Run with `--summarize`, compare with previous run
2. Check env vars with `--dry=json`
3. Look for lockfile/config changes in git
Cache hit when expected miss:
1. Verify env var is in `env` array
2. Verify file is in `inputs` array
3. Check if file is outside package directory

# Remote Caching
Share cache artifacts across your team and CI pipelines.
## Benefits
- Team members get cache hits from each other's work
- CI gets cache hits from local development (and vice versa)
- Dramatically faster CI runs after first build
- No more "works on my machine" rebuilds
## Vercel Remote Cache
Free, zero-config when deploying on Vercel. For local dev and other CI:
### Local Development Setup
```bash
# Authenticate with Vercel
npx turbo login
# Link repo to your Vercel team
npx turbo link
```
This creates `.turbo/config.json` with your team info (gitignored by default).
### CI Setup
Set these environment variables:
```bash
TURBO_TOKEN=<your-token>
TURBO_TEAM=<your-team-slug>
```
Get your token from Vercel dashboard → Settings → Tokens.
**GitHub Actions example:**
```yaml
- name: Build
run: npx turbo build
env:
TURBO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TURBO_TOKEN }}
TURBO_TEAM: ${{ vars.TURBO_TEAM }}
```
## Configuration in turbo.json
```json
{
"remoteCache": {
"enabled": true,
"signature": false
}
}
```
Options:
- `enabled`: toggle remote cache (default: true when authenticated)
- `signature`: require artifact signing (default: false)
## Artifact Signing
Verify cache artifacts haven't been tampered with:
```bash
# Set a secret key (use same key across all environments)
export TURBO_REMOTE_CACHE_SIGNATURE_KEY="your-secret-key"
```
Enable in config:
```json
{
"remoteCache": {
"signature": true
}
}
```
Signed artifacts can only be restored if the signature matches.
## Self-Hosted Options
Community implementations for running your own cache server:
- **turbo-remote-cache** (Node.js) - supports S3, GCS, Azure
- **turborepo-remote-cache** (Go) - lightweight, S3-compatible
- **ducktape** (Rust) - high-performance option
Configure with environment variables:
```bash
TURBO_API=https://your-cache-server.com
TURBO_TOKEN=your-auth-token
TURBO_TEAM=your-team
```
## Cache Behavior Control
```bash
# Disable remote cache for a run
turbo build --remote-cache-read-only # read but don't write
turbo build --no-cache # skip cache entirely
# Environment variable alternative
TURBO_REMOTE_ONLY=true # only use remote, skip local
```
## Debugging Remote Cache
```bash
# Verbose output shows cache operations
turbo build --verbosity=2
# Check if remote cache is configured
turbo config
```
Look for:
- "Remote caching enabled" in output
- Upload/download messages during runs
- "cache hit, replaying output" with remote cache indicator

# CI/CD with Turborepo
General principles for running Turborepo in continuous integration environments.
## Core Principles
### Always Use `turbo run` in CI
**Never use the `turbo <tasks>` shorthand in CI or scripts.** Always use `turbo run`:
```bash
# CORRECT - Always use in CI, package.json, scripts
turbo run build test lint
# WRONG - Shorthand is only for one-off terminal commands
turbo build test lint
```
The shorthand `turbo <tasks>` is only for one-off invocations typed directly in terminal by humans or agents. Anywhere the command is written into code (CI, package.json, scripts), use `turbo run`.
### Enable Remote Caching
Remote caching dramatically speeds up CI by sharing cached artifacts across runs.
Required environment variables:
```bash
TURBO_TOKEN=your_vercel_token
TURBO_TEAM=your_team_slug
```
### Use --affected for PR Builds
The `--affected` flag only runs tasks for packages changed since the base branch:
```bash
turbo run build test --affected
```
This requires Git history to compute what changed.
## Git History Requirements
### Fetch Depth
`--affected` needs access to the merge base. Shallow clones break this.
```yaml
# GitHub Actions
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 2 # Minimum for --affected
# Use 0 for full history if merge base is far
```
### Why Shallow Clones Break --affected
Turborepo compares the current HEAD to the merge base with `main`. If that commit isn't fetched, `--affected` falls back to running everything.
For PRs with many commits, consider:
```yaml
fetch-depth: 0 # Full history
```
## Environment Variables Reference
| Variable | Purpose |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `TURBO_TOKEN` | Vercel access token for remote cache |
| `TURBO_TEAM` | Your Vercel team slug |
| `TURBO_REMOTE_ONLY` | Skip local cache, use remote only |
| `TURBO_LOG_ORDER` | Set to `grouped` for cleaner CI logs |

# GitHub Actions
Complete setup guide for Turborepo with GitHub Actions.
## Basic Workflow Structure
```yaml
name: CI
on:

branches: [main]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4

fetch-depth: 2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: 20
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
- name: Build and Test
run: turbo run build test lint
```
## Package Manager Setup
### pnpm
```yaml
- uses: pnpm/action-setup@v3
with:
version: 9
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: 20
cache: "pnpm"
- run: pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
```
### Yarn
```yaml
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: 20
cache: "yarn"
- run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
```
### Bun
```yaml
- uses: oven-sh/setup-bun@v1
with:
bun-version: latest
- run: bun install --frozen-lockfile
```
## Remote Cache Setup
### 1. Create Vercel Access Token
1. Go to [Vercel Dashboard](https://vercel.com/account/tokens)
2. Create a new token with appropriate scope
3. Copy the token value
### 2. Add Secrets and Variables
In your GitHub repository settings:
**Secrets** (Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions > Secrets):
- `TURBO_TOKEN`: Your Vercel access token
**Variables** (Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions > Variables):
- `TURBO_TEAM`: Your Vercel team slug
### 3. Add to Workflow
```yaml
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
env:
TURBO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TURBO_TOKEN }}
TURBO_TEAM: ${{ vars.TURBO_TEAM }}
```
## Alternative: actions/cache
If you can't use remote cache, cache Turborepo's local cache directory:
```yaml
- uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: .turbo
key: turbo-${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/turbo.json', '**/package-lock.json') }}
restore-keys: |
turbo-${{ runner.os }}-
```
Note: This is less effective than remote cache since it's per-branch.

# CI Optimization Patterns
Strategies for efficient CI/CD with Turborepo.
## PR vs Main Branch Builds
### PR Builds: Only Affected
Test only what changed in the PR:
```yaml
- name: Test (PR)
if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
run: turbo run build test --affected
```
### Main Branch: Full Build
Ensure complete validation on merge:
```yaml
- name: Test (Main)
if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
run: turbo run build test
```
## Custom Git Ranges with --filter
For advanced scenarios, use `--filter` with git refs:
```bash
# Changes since specific commit
turbo run test --filter="...[abc123]"
# Changes between refs
turbo run test --filter="...[main...HEAD]"
# Changes in last 3 commits
turbo run test --filter="...[HEAD~3]"
```
## Caching Strategies
### Remote Cache (Recommended)
Best performance - shared across all CI runs and developers:
```yaml
env:
TURBO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TURBO_TOKEN }}
TURBO_TEAM: ${{ vars.TURBO_TEAM }}
```
### actions/cache Fallback
When remote cache isn't available:
```yaml
- uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: .turbo
key: turbo-${{ runner.os }}-${{ github.sha }}
restore-keys: |
turbo-${{ runner.os }}-${{ github.ref }}-
turbo-${{ runner.os }}-
```
Limitations:
- Cache is branch-scoped
- PRs restore from base branch cache
- Less efficient than remote cache
## Matrix Builds
Test across Node versions:
```yaml
strategy:
matrix:
node: [18, 20, 22]
steps:
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: ${{ matrix.node }}
- run: turbo run test
```
## Parallelizing Across Jobs
Split tasks into separate jobs:
```yaml
jobs:
lint:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- run: turbo run lint --affected
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- run: turbo run test --affected
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: [lint, test]
steps:
- run: turbo run build
```
### Cache Considerations
When parallelizing:
- Each job has separate cache writes
- Remote cache handles this automatically
- With actions/cache, use unique keys per job to avoid conflicts
```yaml
- uses: actions/cache@v4
with:
path: .turbo
key: turbo-${{ runner.os }}-${{ github.job }}-${{ github.sha }}
```
## Conditional Tasks
Skip expensive tasks on draft PRs:
```yaml
- name: E2E Tests
if: github.event.pull_request.draft == false
run: turbo run test:e2e --affected
```
Or require label for full test:
```yaml
- name: Full Test Suite
if: contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'full-test')
run: turbo run test

# Vercel Deployment
Turborepo integrates seamlessly with Vercel for monorepo deployments.
## Remote Cache
Remote caching is **automatically enabled** when deploying to Vercel. No configuration needed - Vercel detects Turborepo and enables caching.
This means:
- No `TURBO_TOKEN` or `TURBO_TEAM` setup required on Vercel
- Cache is shared across all deployments
- Preview and production builds benefit from cache
## turbo-ignore
Skip unnecessary builds when a package hasn't changed using `turbo-ignore`.
### Installation
```bash
npx turbo-ignore
```
Or install globally in your project:
```bash
pnpm add -D turbo-ignore
```
### Setup in Vercel
1. Go to your project in Vercel Dashboard
2. Navigate to Settings > Git > Ignored Build Step
3. Select "Custom" and enter:
```bash
npx turbo-ignore
```
### How It Works
`turbo-ignore` checks if the current package (or its dependencies) changed since the last successful deployment:
1. Compares current commit to last deployed commit
2. Uses Turborepo's dependency graph
3. Returns exit code 0 (skip) if no changes
4. Returns exit code 1 (build) if changes detected
### Options
```bash
# Check specific package
npx turbo-ignore web
# Use specific comparison ref
npx turbo-ignore --fallback=HEAD~1
# Verbose output
npx turbo-ignore --verbose
```
## Environment Variables
Set environment variables in Vercel Dashboard:
1. Go to Project Settings > Environment Variables
2. Add variables for each environment (Production, Preview, Development)
Common variables:
- `DATABASE_URL`
- `API_KEY`
- Package-specific config
## Monorepo Root Directory
For monorepos, set the root directory in Vercel:
1. Project Settings > General > Root Directory
2. Set to the package path (e.g., `apps/web`)
Vercel automatically:
- Installs dependencies from monorepo root
- Runs build from the package directory
- Detects framework settings
## Build Command
Vercel auto-detects `turbo run build` when `turbo.json` exists at root.
Override if needed:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web
```
Or for production-only optimizations:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web --env-mode=strict
```

# turbo run
The primary command for executing tasks across your monorepo.
## Basic Usage
```bash
# Full form (use in CI, package.json, scripts)
turbo run <tasks>
# Shorthand (only for one-off terminal invocations)
turbo <tasks>
```
## When to Use `turbo run` vs `turbo`
**Always use `turbo run` when the command is written into code:**
- `package.json` scripts
- CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions, etc.)
- Shell scripts
- Documentation
- Any static/committed configuration
**Only use `turbo` (shorthand) for:**
- One-off commands typed directly in terminal
- Ad-hoc invocations by humans or agents
```json
// package.json - ALWAYS use "turbo run"
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"dev": "turbo run dev",
"lint": "turbo run lint",
"test": "turbo run test"
}
}
```
```yaml
# CI workflow - ALWAYS use "turbo run"
- run: turbo run build --affected
- run: turbo run test --affected
```
```bash
# Terminal one-off - shorthand OK
turbo build --filter=web
```
## Running Tasks
Tasks must be defined in `turbo.json` before running.
```bash
# Single task
turbo build
# Multiple tasks
turbo run build lint test
# See available tasks (run without arguments)
turbo run
```
## Passing Arguments to Scripts
Use `--` to pass arguments through to the underlying package scripts:
```bash
turbo run build -- --sourcemap
turbo test -- --watch
turbo lint -- --fix
```
Everything after `--` goes directly to the task's script.
## Package Selection
By default, turbo runs tasks in all packages. Use `--filter` to narrow scope:
```bash
turbo build --filter=web
turbo test --filter=./apps/*
```
See `filtering/` for complete filter syntax.
## Quick Reference

# turbo run Flags Reference
Full docs: https://turborepo.dev/docs/reference/run
## Package Selection
### `--filter` / `-F`
Select specific packages to run tasks in.
```bash
turbo build --filter=web
turbo build -F=@repo/ui -F=@repo/utils
turbo test --filter=./apps/*
```
See `filtering/` for complete syntax (globs, dependencies, git ranges).
### Task Identifier Syntax (v2.2.4+)
Run specific package tasks directly:
```bash
turbo run web#build # Build web package
turbo run web#build docs#lint # Multiple specific tasks
```
### `--affected`
Run only in packages changed since the base branch.
```bash
turbo build --affected
turbo test --affected --filter=./apps/* # combine with filter
```
**How it works:**
- Default: compares `main...HEAD`
- In GitHub Actions: auto-detects `GITHUB_BASE_REF`
- Override base: `TURBO_SCM_BASE=development turbo build --affected`
- Override head: `TURBO_SCM_HEAD=your-branch turbo build --affected`
**Requires git history** - shallow clones may fall back to running all tasks.
## Execution Control
### `--dry` / `--dry=json`
Preview what would run without executing.
```bash
turbo build --dry # human-readable
turbo build --dry=json # machine-readable
```
### `--force`
Ignore all cached artifacts, re-run everything.
```bash
turbo build --force
```
### `--concurrency`
Limit parallel task execution.
```bash
turbo build --concurrency=4 # max 4 tasks
turbo build --concurrency=50% # 50% of CPU cores
```
### `--continue`
Keep running other tasks when one fails.
```bash
turbo build test --continue
```
### `--only`
Run only the specified task, skip its dependencies.
```bash
turbo build --only # skip running dependsOn tasks
```
### `--parallel` (Discouraged)
Ignores task graph dependencies, runs all tasks simultaneously. **Avoid using this flag**—if tasks need to run in parallel, configure `dependsOn` correctly instead. Using `--parallel` bypasses Turborepo's dependency graph, which can cause race conditions and incorrect builds.
## Cache Control
### `--cache`
Fine-grained cache behavior control.
```bash
# Default: read/write both local and remote
turbo build --cache=local:rw,remote:rw
# Read-only local, no remote
turbo build --cache=local:r,remote:
# Disable local, read-only remote
turbo build --cache=local:,remote:r
# Disable all caching
turbo build --cache=local:,remote:
```
## Output & Debugging
### `--graph`
Generate task graph visualization.
```bash
turbo build --graph # opens in browser
turbo build --graph=graph.svg # SVG file
turbo build --graph=graph.png # PNG file
turbo build --graph=graph.json # JSON data
turbo build --graph=graph.mermaid # Mermaid diagram
```
### `--summarize`
Generate JSON run summary for debugging.
```bash
turbo build --summarize
# creates .turbo/runs/<run-id>.json
```
### `--output-logs`
Control log output verbosity.
```bash
turbo build --output-logs=full # all logs (default)
turbo build --output-logs=new-only # only cache misses
turbo build --output-logs=errors-only # only failures
turbo build --output-logs=none # silent
```
### `--profile`
Generate Chrome tracing profile for performance analysis.
```bash
turbo build --profile=profile.json
# open chrome://tracing and load the file
```
### `--verbosity` / `-v`
Control turbo's own log level.
```bash
turbo build -v # verbose
turbo build -vv # more verbose
turbo build -vvv # maximum verbosity
```
## Environment
### `--env-mode`
Control environment variable handling.
```bash
turbo build --env-mode=strict # only declared env vars (default)
turbo build --env-mode=loose # include all env vars in hash
```
## UI
### `--ui`
Select output interface.
```bash
turbo build --ui=tui # interactive terminal UI (default in TTY)
turbo build --ui=stream # streaming logs (default in CI)
```

# turbo.json Configuration Overview
Configuration reference for Turborepo. Full docs: https://turborepo.dev/docs/reference/configuration
## File Location
Root `turbo.json` lives at repo root, sibling to root `package.json`:
```
my-monorepo/
├── turbo.json # Root configuration
├── package.json
└── packages/
└── web/
├── turbo.json # Package Configuration (optional)
└── package.json
```
## Always Prefer Package Tasks Over Root Tasks
**Always use package tasks. Only use Root Tasks if you cannot succeed with package tasks.**
Package tasks enable parallelization, individual caching, and filtering. Define scripts in each package's `package.json`:
```json
// packages/web/package.json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "next build",
"lint": "eslint .",
"test": "vitest",
"typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
}
}
// packages/api/package.json
{
"scripts": {
"build": "tsc",
"lint": "eslint .",
"test": "vitest",
"typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
}
}
```
```json
// Root package.json - delegates to turbo
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"lint": "turbo run lint",
"test": "turbo run test",
"typecheck": "turbo run typecheck"
}
}
```
When you run `turbo run lint`, Turborepo finds all packages with a `lint` script and runs them **in parallel**.
**Root Tasks are a fallback**, not the default. Only use them for tasks that truly cannot run per-package (e.g., repo-level CI scripts, workspace-wide config generation).
```json
// AVOID: Task logic in root defeats parallelization
{
"scripts": {
"lint": "eslint apps/web && eslint apps/api && eslint packages/ui"
}
}
```
## Basic Structure
```json
{
"$schema": "https://v2-8-21-canary-9.turborepo.dev/schema.json",
"globalEnv": ["CI"],
"globalDependencies": ["tsconfig.json"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
},
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
The `$schema` key enables IDE autocompletion and validation.
### With `futureFlags.globalConfiguration`
When the `globalConfiguration` future flag is enabled, global options move under a `global` key with cleaner names:
```json
{
"$schema": "https://v2-8-21-canary-9.turborepo.dev/schema.json",
"futureFlags": { "globalConfiguration": true },
"global": {
"inputs": ["tsconfig.json"],
"env": ["CI"],
"ui": "tui"
},
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
See the [global options reference](./global-options.md) for the full rename mapping and behavior changes.
## Configuration Sections
**Global options** - Settings affecting all tasks:
- Without flag: `globalEnv`, `globalDependencies`, `globalPassThroughEnv`, `cacheDir`, `daemon`, `envMode`, `ui`, `remoteCache`
- With `globalConfiguration` flag: all of the above move under the `global` key (see [global options](./global-options.md))
**Task definitions** - Per-task settings in `tasks` object:
- `dependsOn`, `outputs`, `inputs`, `env`
- `cache`, `persistent`, `interactive`, `outputLogs`
## Package Configurations
Use `turbo.json` in individual packages to override root settings:
```json
// packages/web/turbo.json
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
}
}
}
```
The `"extends": ["//"]` is required - it references the root configuration.
**When to use Package Configurations:**
- Framework-specific outputs (Next.js, Vite, etc.)
- Package-specific env vars
- Different caching rules for specific packages
- Keeping framework config close to the framework code
### Extending from Other Packages
You can extend from config packages instead of just root:
```json
// packages/web/turbo.json
{
"extends": ["//", "@repo/turbo-config"]
}
```
### Adding to Inherited Arrays with `$TURBO_EXTENDS$`
By default, array fields in Package Configurations **replace** root values. Use `$TURBO_EXTENDS$` to **append** instead:
```json
// Root turbo.json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
```json
// packages/web/turbo.json
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
// Inherits "dist/**" from root, adds ".next/**"
"outputs": ["$TURBO_EXTENDS$", ".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
}
}
}
```
Without `$TURBO_EXTENDS$`, outputs would only be `[".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]`.
**Works with:**
- `dependsOn`
- `env`
- `inputs`
- `outputs`
- `passThroughEnv`
- `with`
### Excluding Tasks from Packages
Use `extends: false` to exclude a task from a package:
```json
// packages/ui/turbo.json
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"e2e": {
"extends": false // UI package doesn't have e2e tests
}
}
}
```
## `turbo.jsonc` for Comments
Use `turbo.jsonc` extension to add comments with IDE support:
```jsonc
// turbo.jsonc
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
// Next.js outputs
"outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
}
}
}
```

# Global Options Reference
Options that affect all tasks. Full docs: https://turborepo.dev/docs/reference/configuration
## globalEnv
Environment variables affecting all task hashes.
```json
{
"globalEnv": ["CI", "NODE_ENV", "VERCEL_*"]
}
```
Use for variables that should invalidate all caches when changed.
## globalDependencies
Files that affect all task hashes.
```json
{
"globalDependencies": ["tsconfig.json", ".env", "pnpm-lock.yaml"]
}
```
Lockfile is included by default. Add shared configs here.
## globalPassThroughEnv
Variables available to tasks but not included in hash.
```json
{
"globalPassThroughEnv": ["AWS_SECRET_KEY", "GITHUB_TOKEN"]
}
```
Use for credentials that shouldn't affect cache keys.
## cacheDir
Custom cache location. Default: `node_modules/.cache/turbo`.
```json
{
"cacheDir": ".turbo/cache"
}
```
## daemon
**Deprecated**: The daemon is no longer used for `turbo run` and this option will be removed in version 3.0. The daemon is still used by `turbo watch` and the Turborepo LSP.
## envMode
How unspecified env vars are handled. Default: `"strict"`.
```json
{
"envMode": "strict" // Only specified vars available
// or
"envMode": "loose" // All vars pass through
}
```
Strict mode catches missing env declarations.
## ui
Terminal UI mode. Default: `"stream"`.
```json
{
"ui": "tui" // Interactive terminal UI
// or
"ui": "stream" // Traditional streaming logs
}
```
TUI provides better UX for parallel tasks.
## remoteCache
Configure remote caching.
```json
{
"remoteCache": {
"enabled": true,
"signature": true,
"timeout": 30,
"uploadTimeout": 60
}
}
```
| Option | Default | Description |
| --------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `enabled` | `true` | Enable/disable remote caching |
| `signature` | `false` | Sign artifacts with `TURBO_REMOTE_CACHE_SIGNATURE_KEY` |
| `preflight` | `false` | Send OPTIONS request before cache requests |
| `timeout` | `30` | Timeout in seconds for cache operations |
| `uploadTimeout` | `60` | Timeout in seconds for uploads |
| `apiUrl` | `"https://vercel.com"` | Remote cache API endpoint |
| `loginUrl` | `"https://vercel.com"` | Login endpoint |
| `teamId` | - | Team ID (must start with `team_`) |
| `teamSlug` | - | Team slug for querystring |
See https://turborepo.dev/docs/core-concepts/remote-caching for setup.
## concurrency
Default: `"10"`
Limit parallel task execution.
```json
{
"concurrency": "4" // Max 4 tasks at once
// or
"concurrency": "50%" // 50% of available CPUs
}
```
## futureFlags
Enable experimental features that will become default in future versions.
```json
{
"futureFlags": {
"errorsOnlyShowHash": true
}
}
```
### `errorsOnlyShowHash`
When using `outputLogs: "errors-only"`, show task hashes on start/completion:
- Cache miss: `cache miss, executing <hash> (only logging errors)`
- Cache hit: `cache hit, replaying logs (no errors) <hash>`
### `longerSignatureKey`
Enforce a minimum key length of 32 bytes for `TURBO_REMOTE_CACHE_SIGNATURE_KEY` when `remoteCache.signature` is enabled. Short keys weaken HMAC-SHA256 signatures. Fails the run immediately if the key is too short.
### `globalConfiguration`
Moves global configuration keys under a top-level `global` key for clarity and changes how `global.inputs` (formerly `globalDependencies`) affects task hashing.
When enabled:
- Global config keys move under `global` with cleaner names
- `global.inputs` files are **prepended to every task's inputs** instead of being folded into the global hash — tasks can opt out of specific global inputs using negation globs
```json
{
"futureFlags": { "globalConfiguration": true },
"global": {
"inputs": ["tsconfig.json", ".env"],
"env": ["CI", "NODE_ENV"],
"passThroughEnv": ["AWS_SECRET_KEY"],
"ui": "tui",
"envMode": "strict",
"cacheDir": ".turbo/cache",
"remoteCache": { "enabled": true },
"concurrency": "50%"
},
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
**Key rename mapping:**
| Old (top-level) | New (`global.`) |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `globalDependencies` | `inputs` |
| `globalEnv` | `env` |
| `globalPassThroughEnv` | `passThroughEnv` |
| `ui`, `envMode`, `cacheDir`, `daemon`, `concurrency`, `noUpdateNotifier`, `dangerouslyDisablePackageManagerCheck`, `remoteCache` | Same names under `global` |
**Behavior change for `global.inputs`:**
With `globalDependencies` (old): files are hashed into the **global hash**, which is embedded in every task's cache key. Changing any of these files invalidates all tasks — there is no opt-out.
With `global.inputs` (new): files are treated as **implicit task inputs** prepended to each task's `inputs` globs. This means:
- Tasks can exclude specific global files: `"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "!$TURBO_ROOT$/tsconfig.json"]`
- The global hash no longer includes these file hashes (it still includes lockfile, engines, global env, etc.)
- Tasks with no explicit `inputs` still hash all package files plus the global inputs
See the [gotchas doc](./gotchas.md) for guidance on using `$TURBO_DEFAULT$` with `global.inputs`.
## noUpdateNotifier
Disable update notifications when new turbo versions are available.
```json
{
"noUpdateNotifier": true
}
```
## dangerouslyDisablePackageManagerCheck
Bypass the `packageManager` field requirement. Use for incremental migration.
```json
{
"dangerouslyDisablePackageManagerCheck": true
}
```
**Warning**: Unstable lockfiles can cause unpredictable behavior.
## Git Worktree Cache Sharing
When working in Git worktrees, Turborepo automatically shares local cache between the main worktree and linked worktrees.
**How it works:**
- Detects worktree configuration
- Redirects cache to main worktree's `.turbo/cache`
- Works alongside Remote Cache
**Benefits:**
- Cache hits across branches
- Reduced disk usage
- Faster branch switching
**Disabled by**: Setting explicit `cacheDir` in turbo.json.

# Configuration Gotchas
Common mistakes and how to fix them.
## #1 Root Scripts Not Using `turbo run`
Root `package.json` scripts for turbo tasks MUST use `turbo run`, not direct commands.
```json
// WRONG - bypasses turbo, no parallelization or caching
{
"scripts": {
"build": "bun build",
"dev": "bun dev"
}
}
// CORRECT - delegates to turbo
{
"scripts": {
"build": "turbo run build",
"dev": "turbo run dev"
}
}
```
**Why this matters:** Running `bun build` or `npm run build` at root bypasses Turborepo entirely - no parallelization, no caching, no dependency graph awareness.
## #2 Using `&&` to Chain Turbo Tasks
Don't use `&&` to chain tasks that turbo should orchestrate.
```json
// WRONG - changeset:publish chains turbo task with non-turbo command
{
"scripts": {
"changeset:publish": "bun build && changeset publish"
}
}
// CORRECT - use turbo run, let turbo handle dependencies
{
"scripts": {
"changeset:publish": "turbo run build && changeset publish"
}
}
```
If the second command (`changeset publish`) depends on build outputs, the turbo task should run through turbo to get caching and parallelization benefits.
## #3 Overly Broad globalDependencies
`globalDependencies` affects hash for ALL tasks in ALL packages. Be specific.
```json
// WRONG - affects all hashes
{
"globalDependencies": ["**/.env.*local"]
}
// CORRECT - move to specific tasks that need it
{
"globalDependencies": [".env"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
}
}
```
**Why this matters:** `**/.env.*local` matches .env files in ALL packages, causing unnecessary cache invalidation. Instead:
- Use `globalDependencies` only for truly global files (root `.env`)
- Use task-level `inputs` for package-specific .env files with `$TURBO_DEFAULT$` to preserve default behavior
With `futureFlags.globalConfiguration`, this is less of a concern because `global.inputs` acts as implicit task inputs — tasks can opt out of specific files with negation globs. But keeping the list focused is still good practice.
## #4 Repetitive Task Configuration
Look for repeated configuration across tasks that can be collapsed.
```json
// WRONG - repetitive env and inputs across tasks
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"]
},
"test": {
"env": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env*"]
}
}
}
// BETTER - use globalEnv and globalDependencies
{
"globalEnv": ["API_URL", "DATABASE_URL"],
"globalDependencies": [".env*"],
"tasks": {
"build": {},
"test": {}
}
}
```
**When to use global vs task-level:**
- `globalEnv` / `globalDependencies` - affects ALL tasks, use for truly shared config
- Task-level `env` / `inputs` - use when only specific tasks need it
## #5 Using `../` to Traverse Out of Package in `inputs`
Don't use relative paths like `../` to reference files outside the package. Use `$TURBO_ROOT$` instead.
```json
// WRONG - traversing out of package
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "../shared-config.json"]
}
}
}
// CORRECT - use $TURBO_ROOT$ for repo root
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "$TURBO_ROOT$/shared-config.json"]
}
}
}
```
## #6 MOST COMMON MISTAKE: Creating Root Tasks
**DO NOT create Root Tasks. ALWAYS create package tasks.**
When you need to create a task (build, lint, test, typecheck, etc.):
1. Add the script to **each relevant package's** `package.json`
2. Register the task in root `turbo.json`
3. Root `package.json` only contains `turbo run <task>`
```json
// WRONG - DO NOT DO THIS
// Root package.json with task logic
{
"scripts": {
"build": "cd apps/web && next build && cd ../api && tsc",
"lint": "eslint apps/ packages/",
"test": "vitest"
}
}
// CORRECT - DO THIS
// apps/web/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "next build", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
// apps/api/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
// packages/ui/package.json
{ "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "lint": "eslint .", "test": "vitest" } }
// Root package.json - ONLY delegates
{ "scripts": { "build": "turbo run build", "lint": "turbo run lint", "test": "turbo run test" } }
// turbo.json - register tasks
{
"tasks": {
"build": { "dependsOn": ["^build"], "outputs": ["dist/**"] },
"lint": {},
"test": {}
}
}
```
**Why this matters:**
- Package tasks run in **parallel** across all packages
- Each package's output is cached **individually**
- You can **filter** to specific packages: `turbo run test --filter=web`
Root Tasks (`//#taskname`) defeat all these benefits. Only use them for tasks that truly cannot exist in any package (extremely rare).
## #7 Tasks That Need Parallel Execution + Cache Invalidation
Some tasks can run in parallel (don't need built output from dependencies) but must still invalidate cache when dependency source code changes. Using `dependsOn: ["^taskname"]` forces sequential execution. Using no dependencies breaks cache invalidation.
**Use Transit Nodes for these tasks:**
```json
// WRONG - forces sequential execution (SLOW)
"my-task": {
"dependsOn": ["^my-task"]
}
// ALSO WRONG - no dependency awareness (INCORRECT CACHING)
"my-task": {}
// CORRECT - use Transit Nodes for parallel + correct caching
{
"tasks": {
"transit": { "dependsOn": ["^transit"] },
"my-task": { "dependsOn": ["transit"] }
}
}
```
**Why Transit Nodes work:**
- `transit` creates dependency relationships without matching any actual script
- Tasks that depend on `transit` gain dependency awareness
- Since `transit` completes instantly (no script), tasks run in parallel
- Cache correctly invalidates when dependency source code changes
**How to identify tasks that need this pattern:** Look for tasks that read source files from dependencies but don't need their build outputs.
## Missing outputs for File-Producing Tasks
**Before flagging missing `outputs`, check what the task actually produces:**
1. Read the package's script (e.g., `"build": "tsc"`, `"test": "vitest"`)
2. Determine if it writes files to disk or only outputs to stdout
3. Only flag if the task produces files that should be cached
```json
// WRONG - build produces files but they're not cached
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"]
}
// CORRECT - outputs are cached
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
}
```
No `outputs` key is fine for stdout-only tasks. For file-producing tasks, missing `outputs` means Turbo has nothing to cache.
## Forgetting ^ in dependsOn
```json
// WRONG - looks for "build" in SAME package (infinite loop or missing)
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["build"]
}
// CORRECT - runs dependencies' build first
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"]
}
```
The `^` means "in dependency packages", not "in this package".
## Missing persistent on Dev Tasks
```json
// WRONG - dependent tasks hang waiting for dev to "finish"
"dev": {
"cache": false
}
// CORRECT
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
```
## Package Config Missing extends
```json
// WRONG - packages/web/turbo.json
{
"tasks": {
"build": { "outputs": [".next/**"] }
}
}
// CORRECT
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"build": { "outputs": [".next/**"] }
}
}
```
Without `"extends": ["//"]`, Package Configurations are invalid.
## Root Tasks Need Special Syntax
To run a task defined only in root `package.json`:
```bash
# WRONG
turbo run format
# CORRECT
turbo run //#format
```
And in dependsOn:
```json
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["//#codegen"] // Root package's codegen
}
```
## Overwriting Default Inputs
```json
// WRONG - only watches test files, ignores source changes
"test": {
"inputs": ["tests/**"]
}
// CORRECT - extends defaults, adds test files
"test": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "tests/**"]
}
```
Without `$TURBO_DEFAULT$`, you replace all default file watching.
## Excluding `global.inputs` Without `$TURBO_DEFAULT$`
When using `futureFlags.globalConfiguration`, `global.inputs` values are prepended to every task's inputs. If you want to exclude a global input from a specific task, you **must** include `$TURBO_DEFAULT$` to preserve default file hashing.
```json
// WRONG - task hashes NO files at all (global input cancelled, no defaults)
"build": {
"inputs": ["!$TURBO_ROOT$/config.txt"]
}
// CORRECT - task hashes all package files, minus config.txt
"build": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "!$TURBO_ROOT$/config.txt"]
}
```
Without `$TURBO_DEFAULT$`, the only inclusion glob comes from `global.inputs`, which the negation cancels out. The task ends up with no inclusions and no default file hashing, so it hashes nothing. Changes to source files won't cause cache misses.
## Caching Tasks with Side Effects
```json
// WRONG - deploy might be skipped on cache hit
"deploy": {
"dependsOn": ["build"]
}
// CORRECT
"deploy": {
"dependsOn": ["build"],
"cache": false
}
```
Always disable cache for deploy, publish, or mutation tasks.

# Task Configuration Reference
Full docs: https://turborepo.dev/docs/reference/configuration#tasks
## dependsOn
Controls task execution order.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": [
"^build", // Dependencies' build tasks first
"codegen", // Same package's codegen task first
"shared#build" // Specific package's build task
]
}
}
}
```
| Syntax | Meaning |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `^task` | Run `task` in all dependencies first |
| `task` | Run `task` in same package first |
| `pkg#task` | Run specific package's task first |
The `^` prefix is crucial - without it, you're referencing the same package.
### Transit Nodes for Parallel Tasks
For tasks like `lint` and `check-types` that can run in parallel but need dependency-aware caching:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"transit": { "dependsOn": ["^transit"] },
"lint": { "dependsOn": ["transit"] },
"check-types": { "dependsOn": ["transit"] }
}
}
```
**DO NOT use `dependsOn: ["^lint"]`** - this forces sequential execution.
**DO NOT use `dependsOn: []`** - this breaks cache invalidation.
The `transit` task creates dependency relationships without running anything (no matching script), so tasks run in parallel with correct caching.
## outputs
Glob patterns for files to cache. **If omitted, nothing is cached.**
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputs": ["dist/**", "build/**"]
}
}
}
```
**Framework examples:**
```json
// Next.js
"outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
// Vite
"outputs": ["dist/**"]
// TypeScript (tsc)
"outputs": ["dist/**", "*.tsbuildinfo"]
// No file outputs (lint, typecheck)
"outputs": []
```
Use `!` prefix to exclude patterns from caching.
## inputs
Files considered when calculating task hash. Defaults to all tracked files in package.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"test": {
"inputs": ["src/**", "tests/**", "vitest.config.ts"]
}
}
}
```
**Special values:**
| Value | Meaning |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `$TURBO_DEFAULT$` | Include default inputs, then add/remove |
| `$TURBO_ROOT$/<path>` | Reference files from repo root |
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": [
"$TURBO_DEFAULT$",
"!README.md",
"$TURBO_ROOT$/tsconfig.base.json"
]
}
}
}
```
### Interaction with `global.inputs`
When `futureFlags.globalConfiguration` is enabled, files listed in `global.inputs` are prepended to every task's `inputs`. The combined list is then used to compute the task hash.
This is different from `globalDependencies`, where files were hashed into the **global** hash and could not be influenced by task-level `inputs`.
**With `globalDependencies` (old behavior):**
- `globalDependencies` files contribute to the global hash
- Task `inputs` only control which **package** files are hashed
- There is no way for a task to "opt out" of a `globalDependencies` file
**With `global.inputs` (new behavior):**
- `global.inputs` files are merged into each task's `inputs` globs
- Task `inputs` and `global.inputs` are combined, then the full list is hashed into the **task** hash
- Tasks can exclude specific global files with negation globs
```json
{
"futureFlags": { "globalConfiguration": true },
"global": {
"inputs": ["tsconfig.json", ".env"]
},
"tasks": {
"build": {},
"lint": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "!$TURBO_ROOT$/.env"]
}
}
}
```
In this example:
- `build` hashes all package files + `tsconfig.json` + `.env` (from `global.inputs`)
- `lint` hashes all package files + `tsconfig.json`, but **excludes** `.env` because of the negation glob
Tasks with no explicit `inputs` key still hash all package files (the default behavior) plus the `global.inputs` files.
## env
Environment variables to include in task hash.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": [
"API_URL",
"NEXT_PUBLIC_*", // Wildcard matching
"!DEBUG" // Exclude from hash
]
}
}
}
```
Variables listed here affect cache hits - changing the value invalidates cache.
## cache
Enable/disable caching for a task. Default: `true`.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": { "cache": false },
"deploy": { "cache": false }
}
}
```
Disable for: dev servers, deploy commands, tasks with side effects.
## persistent
Mark long-running tasks that don't exit. Default: `false`.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"cache": false,
"persistent": true
}
}
}
```
Required for dev servers - without it, dependent tasks wait forever.
## interactive
Allow task to receive stdin input. Default: `false`.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"login": {
"cache": false,
"interactive": true
}
}
}
```
## outputLogs
Control when logs are shown. Options: `full`, `hash-only`, `new-only`, `errors-only`, `none`.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"outputLogs": "new-only" // Only show logs on cache miss
}
}
}
```
## with
Run tasks alongside this task. For long-running tasks that need runtime dependencies.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"with": ["api#dev"],
"persistent": true,
"cache": false
}
}
}
```
Unlike `dependsOn`, `with` runs tasks concurrently (not sequentially). Use for dev servers that need other services running.
## interruptible
Allow `turbo watch` to restart the task on changes. Default: `false`.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"persistent": true,
"interruptible": true,
"cache": false
}
}
}
```
Use for dev servers that don't automatically detect dependency changes.
## description
Human-readable description of the task.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"description": "Compiles the application for production deployment"
}
}
}
```
For documentation only - doesn't affect execution or caching.
## passThroughEnv
Environment variables available at runtime but NOT included in cache hash.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"passThroughEnv": ["AWS_SECRET_KEY", "GITHUB_TOKEN"]
}
}
}
```
**Warning**: Changes to these vars won't cause cache misses. Use `env` if changes should invalidate cache.
## extends (Package Configuration only)
Control task inheritance in Package Configurations.
```json
// packages/ui/turbo.json
{
"extends": ["//"],
"tasks": {
"lint": {
"extends": false // Exclude from this package
}
}
}
```
| Value | Behavior |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `true` (default) | Inherit from root turbo.json |
| `false` | Exclude task from package, or define fresh without inheritance |

# Environment Variables in Turborepo
Turborepo provides fine-grained control over which environment variables affect task hashing and runtime availability.
## Configuration Keys
### `env` - Task-Specific Variables
Variables that affect a specific task's hash. When these change, only that task rebuilds.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["DATABASE_URL", "API_KEY"]
}
}
}
```
### `globalEnv` - Variables Affecting All Tasks
Variables that affect EVERY task's hash. When these change, all tasks rebuild.
```json
{
"globalEnv": ["CI", "NODE_ENV"]
}
```
### `passThroughEnv` - Runtime-Only Variables (Not Hashed)
Variables available at runtime but NOT included in hash. **Use with caution** - changes won't trigger rebuilds.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"deploy": {
"passThroughEnv": ["AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID", "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"]
}
}
}
```
### `globalPassThroughEnv` - Global Runtime Variables
Same as `passThroughEnv` but for all tasks.
```json
{
"globalPassThroughEnv": ["GITHUB_TOKEN"]
}
```
## Wildcards and Negation
### Wildcards
Match multiple variables with `*`:
```json
{
"env": ["MY_API_*", "FEATURE_FLAG_*"]
}
```
This matches `MY_API_URL`, `MY_API_KEY`, `FEATURE_FLAG_DARK_MODE`, etc.
### Negation
Exclude variables (useful with framework inference):
```json
{
"env": ["!NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID"]
}
```
## With `futureFlags.globalConfiguration`
When the `globalConfiguration` future flag is enabled, global environment keys move under the `global` key with cleaner names:
| Old (top-level) | New (`global.`) |
| ---------------------- | ---------------- |
| `globalEnv` | `env` |
| `globalPassThroughEnv` | `passThroughEnv` |
`global.env` and `global.passThroughEnv` behave identically to their top-level counterparts — they affect the global hash and all tasks, respectively. The rename is purely organizational.
```json
{
"futureFlags": { "globalConfiguration": true },
"global": {
"env": ["CI", "NODE_ENV"],
"passThroughEnv": ["GITHUB_TOKEN", "NPM_TOKEN"]
},
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["DATABASE_URL", "API_*"],
"passThroughEnv": ["SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN"]
}
}
}

# Environment Variable Gotchas
Common mistakes and how to fix them.
## .env Files Must Be in `inputs`
Turbo does NOT read `.env` files. Your framework (Next.js, Vite, etc.) or `dotenv` loads them. But Turbo needs to know when they change.
**Wrong:**
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["DATABASE_URL"]
}
}
}
```
**Right:**
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["DATABASE_URL"],
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", ".env", ".env.local", ".env.production"]
}
}
}
```
## Strict Mode Filters CI Variables
In strict mode, CI provider variables (GITHUB_TOKEN, GITLAB_CI, etc.) are filtered unless explicitly listed.
**Symptom:** Task fails with "authentication required" or "permission denied" in CI.
**Solution:**
```json
{
"globalPassThroughEnv": ["GITHUB_TOKEN", "GITLAB_CI", "CI"]
}
```
## passThroughEnv Doesn't Affect Hash
Variables in `passThroughEnv` are available at runtime but changes WON'T trigger rebuilds.
**Dangerous example:**
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"passThroughEnv": ["API_URL"]
}
}
}
```
If `API_URL` changes from staging to production, Turbo may serve a cached build pointing to the wrong API.
**Use passThroughEnv only for:**
- Auth tokens that don't affect output (SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN)
- CI metadata (GITHUB_RUN_ID)
- Variables consumed after build (deploy credentials)
## Runtime-Created Variables Are Invisible
Turbo captures env vars at startup. Variables created during execution aren't seen.
**Won't work:**
```bash
# In package.json scripts
"build": "export API_URL=$COMPUTED_VALUE && next build"
```
**Solution:** Set vars before invoking turbo:
```bash
API_URL=$COMPUTED_VALUE turbo run build
```
## Different .env Files for Different Environments
If you use `.env.development` and `.env.production`, both should be in inputs.
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"inputs": [
"$TURBO_DEFAULT$",
".env",
".env.local",
".env.development",
".env.development.local",
".env.production",
".env.production.local"
]
}
}
}
```
## Complete Next.js Example
```json
{
"$schema": "https://v2-8-21-canary-9.turborepo.dev/schema.json",
"globalEnv": ["CI", "NODE_ENV", "VERCEL"],
"globalPassThroughEnv": ["GITHUB_TOKEN", "VERCEL_URL"],
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"env": ["DATABASE_URL", "NEXT_PUBLIC_*", "!NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID"],
"passThroughEnv": ["SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN"],
"inputs": [
"$TURBO_DEFAULT$",
".env",
".env.local",
".env.production",
".env.production.local"
],
"outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
}
}
}
```
This config:
- Hashes DATABASE*URL and NEXT_PUBLIC*\* vars (except analytics)
- Passes through SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN without hashing
- Includes all .env file variants in the hash
- Makes CI tokens available globally
### With `futureFlags.globalConfiguration`
The same config using the `global` key. The `.env` files move to `global.inputs`, which means they get folded into each task's hash individually rather than the global hash. This lets tasks exclude specific `.env` files if needed.
```json
{
"$schema": "https://v2-8-21-canary-9.turborepo.dev/schema.json",
"futureFlags": { "globalConfiguration": true },
"global": {
"env": ["CI", "NODE_ENV", "VERCEL"],
"passThroughEnv": ["GITHUB_TOKEN", "VERCEL_URL"],
"inputs": [".env", ".env.local", ".env.production", ".env.production.local"]
},
"tasks": {
"build": {
"dependsOn": ["^build"],
"env": ["DATABASE_URL", "NEXT_PUBLIC_*", "!NEXT_PUBLIC_ANALYTICS_ID"],
"passThroughEnv": ["SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN"],
"outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
}
}
}
```
With this approach, a task that doesn't care about `.env.production` can exclude it:
```json
"lint": {
"inputs": ["$TURBO_DEFAULT$", "!$TURBO_ROOT$/.env.production"]
}
```
This wouldn't have been possible with `globalDependencies`, where `.env.production` would be baked into the global hash and affect every task unconditionally.

# Environment Modes
Turborepo supports different modes for handling environment variables during task execution.
## Strict Mode (Default)
Only explicitly configured variables are available to tasks.
**Behavior:**
- Tasks only see vars listed in `env`, `globalEnv`, `passThroughEnv`, or `globalPassThroughEnv`
- Unlisted vars are filtered out
- Tasks fail if they require unlisted variables
**Benefits:**
- Guarantees cache correctness
- Prevents accidental dependencies on system vars
- Reproducible builds across machines
```bash
# Explicit (though it's the default)
turbo run build --env-mode=strict
```
## Loose Mode
All system environment variables are available to tasks.
```bash
turbo run build --env-mode=loose
```
**Behavior:**
- Every system env var is passed through
- Only vars in `env`/`globalEnv` affect the hash
- Other vars are available but NOT hashed
**Risks:**
- Cache may restore incorrect results if unhashed vars changed
- "Works on my machine" bugs
- CI vs local environment mismatches
**Use case:** Migrating legacy projects or debugging strict mode issues.
## Framework Inference (Automatic)
Turborepo automatically detects frameworks and includes their conventional env vars.
### Inferred Variables by Framework
| Framework | Pattern |
| ---------------- | ------------------- |
| Next.js | `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` |
| Vite | `VITE_*` |
| Create React App | `REACT_APP_*` |
| Gatsby | `GATSBY_*` |
| Nuxt | `NUXT_*`, `NITRO_*` |
| Expo | `EXPO_PUBLIC_*` |
| Astro | `PUBLIC_*` |
| SvelteKit | `PUBLIC_*` |
| Remix | `REMIX_*` |
| Redwood | `REDWOOD_ENV_*` |
| Sanity | `SANITY_STUDIO_*` |
| Solid | `VITE_*` |
### Disabling Framework Inference
Globally via CLI:
```bash
turbo run build --framework-inference=false
```
Or exclude specific patterns in config:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"build": {
"env": ["!NEXT_PUBLIC_*"]
}
}
}
```
### Why Disable?
- You want explicit control over all env vars
- Framework vars shouldn't bust the cache (e.g., analytics IDs)
- Debugging unexpected cache misses
## Checking Environment Mode
Use `--dry` to see which vars affect each task:
```bash
turbo run build --dry=json | jq '.tasks[].environmentVariables'

# Turborepo Filter Syntax Reference
## Running Only Changed Packages: `--affected`
**The primary way to run only changed packages is `--affected`:**
```bash
# Run build/test/lint only in changed packages and their dependents
turbo run build test lint --affected
```
This compares your current branch to the default branch (usually `main` or `master`) and runs tasks in:
1. Packages with file changes
2. Packages that depend on changed packages (dependents)
### Why Include Dependents?
If you change `@repo/ui`, packages that import `@repo/ui` (like `apps/web`) need to re-run their tasks to verify they still work with the changes.
### Customizing --affected
```bash
# Use a different base branch
turbo run build --affected --affected-base=origin/develop
# Use a different head (current state)
turbo run build --affected --affected-head=HEAD~5
```
### Common CI Pattern
```yaml
# .github/workflows/ci.yml
- run: turbo run build test lint --affected
```
This is the most efficient CI setup - only run tasks for what actually changed.
---
## Manual Git Comparison with --filter
For more control, use `--filter` with git comparison syntax:
```bash
# Changed packages + dependents (same as --affected)
turbo run build --filter=...[origin/main]
# Only changed packages (no dependents)
turbo run build --filter=[origin/main]
# Changed packages + dependencies (packages they import)
turbo run build --filter=[origin/main]...
# Changed since last commit
turbo run build --filter=...[HEAD^1]
# Changed between two commits
turbo run build --filter=[a1b2c3d...e4f5g6h]
```
### Comparison Syntax
| Syntax | Meaning |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `[ref]` | Packages changed since `ref` |
| `...[ref]` | Changed packages + their dependents |
| `[ref]...` | Changed packages + their dependencies |
| `...[ref]...` | Dependencies, changed, AND dependents |
---
## Other Filter Types
Filters select which packages to include in a `turbo run` invocation.
### Basic Syntax
```bash
turbo run build --filter=<package-name>
turbo run build -F <package-name>
```
Multiple filters combine as a union (packages matching ANY filter run).
### By Package Name
```bash
--filter=web # exact match
--filter=@acme/* # scope glob
--filter=*-app # name glob
```
### By Directory
```bash
--filter=./apps/* # all packages in apps/
--filter=./packages/ui # specific directory
```
### By Dependencies/Dependents
| Syntax | Meaning |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------- |
| `pkg...` | Package AND all its dependencies |
| `...pkg` | Package AND all its dependents |
| `...pkg...` | Dependencies, package, AND dependents |
| `^pkg...` | Only dependencies (exclude pkg itself) |
| `...^pkg` | Only dependents (exclude pkg itself) |
### Negation
Exclude packages with `!`:
```bash
--filter=!web # exclude web
--filter=./apps/* --filter=!admin # apps except admin
```
### Task Identifiers
Run a specific task in a specific package:
```bash
turbo run web#build # only web's build task
turbo run web#build api#test # web build + api test
```
### Combining Filters
Multiple `--filter` flags create a union:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web --filter=api # runs in both
```

# Common Filter Patterns
Practical examples for typical monorepo scenarios.
## Single Package
Run task in one package:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web
turbo run test --filter=@acme/api
```
## Package with Dependencies
Build a package and everything it depends on:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web...
```
Useful for: ensuring all dependencies are built before the target.
## Package Dependents
Run in all packages that depend on a library:
```bash
turbo run test --filter=...ui
```
Useful for: testing consumers after changing a shared package.
## Dependents Only (Exclude Target)
Test packages that depend on ui, but not ui itself:
```bash
turbo run test --filter=...^ui
```
## Changed Packages
Run only in packages with file changes since last commit:
```bash
turbo run lint --filter=[HEAD^1]
```
Since a specific branch point:
```bash
turbo run lint --filter=[main...HEAD]
```
## Changed + Dependents (PR Builds)
Run in changed packages AND packages that depend on them:
```bash
turbo run build test --filter=...[HEAD^1]
```
Or use the shortcut:
```bash
turbo run build test --affected
```
## Directory-Based
Run in all apps:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=./apps/*
```
Run in specific directories:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=./apps/web --filter=./apps/api
```
## Scope-Based
Run in all packages under a scope:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=@acme/*
```
## Exclusions
Run in all apps except admin:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=./apps/* --filter=!admin
```
Run everywhere except specific packages:
```bash
turbo run lint --filter=!legacy-app --filter=!deprecated-pkg
```
## Complex Combinations
Apps that changed, plus their dependents:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=...[HEAD^1] --filter=./apps/*
```
All packages except docs, but only if changed:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=[main...HEAD] --filter=!docs
```
## Debugging Filters
Use `--dry` to see what would run without executing:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=web... --dry
```
Use `--dry=json` for machine-readable output:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=...[HEAD^1] --dry=json
```
## CI/CD Patterns
PR validation (most common):
```bash
turbo run build test lint --affected
```
Deploy only changed apps:
```bash
turbo run deploy --filter=./apps/* --filter=[main...HEAD]
```
Full rebuild of specific app and deps:
```bash
turbo run build --filter=production-app...

# turbo watch
Full docs: https://turborepo.dev/docs/reference/watch
Re-run tasks automatically when code changes. Dependency-aware.
```bash
turbo watch [tasks]
```
## Basic Usage
```bash
# Watch and re-run build task when code changes
turbo watch build
# Watch multiple tasks
turbo watch build test lint
```
Tasks re-run in order configured in `turbo.json` when source files change.
## With Persistent Tasks
Persistent tasks (`"persistent": true`) won't exit, so they can't be depended on. They work the same in `turbo watch` as `turbo run`.
### Dependency-Aware Persistent Tasks
If your tool has built-in watching (like `next dev`), use its watcher:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"persistent": true,
"cache": false
}
}
}
```
### Non-Dependency-Aware Tools
For tools that don't detect dependency changes, use `interruptible`:
```json
{
"tasks": {
"dev": {
"persistent": true,
"interruptible": true,
"cache": false
}
}
}
```
`turbo watch` will restart interruptible tasks when dependencies change.
## Limitations
### Caching
Caching is experimental with watch mode:
```bash
turbo watch your-tasks --experimental-write-cache
```
### Task Outputs in Source Control
If tasks write files tracked by git, watch mode may loop infinitely. Watch mode uses file hashes to prevent this but it's not foolproof.
**Recommendation**: Remove task outputs from git.
## vs turbo run
| Feature | `turbo run` | `turbo watch` |
| ----------------- | ----------- | ------------- |
| Runs once | Yes | No |
| Re-runs on change | No | Yes |
| Caching | Full | Experimental |
| Use case | CI, one-off | Development |
## Common Patterns
### Development Workflow
```bash
# Run dev servers and watch for build changes
turbo watch dev build
```
### Type Checking During Development
```bash
# Watch and re-run type checks
turbo watch check-types
```
