[Turborepo] How to exclude a folder?
I have a Turborepo app that uses pnpm and pnpm workspaces. Everything's good.
Q: Now let's say I wanted to add a ElysiaJS (uses Bun) or any other language for that matter (Go backend for example). I want to store them in my monorepo so I have everything in one place, but I want Turborepo to not look at this folder for any building/dev/caching etc.
Is this possible? Worst case I just put the other lang backends in a different repo but I'd like to have them all in my monorepo.

This CLI command might be helpful: https://turbo.build/repo/docs/core-concepts/monorepos/filtering#excluding-workspaces for use-cases like this.
Regarding the use of Elysia, I too am interested in how this might work in a pnpm workspace. If I understand correctly, I think you could still install the
elysia dependency using pnpm, as long as you use bun run ... to run the code.Hopefully someone else might be able to chime in here too. I'm in a similar position with a recent project (using pnpm workspaces + turborepo) and would like to know if I'm able to use bun/elysia in the same monorepo.
thank you, i will give this a shot and drop an update here if i get it working
ideally i have a few backend elysia servers running inside my pnpm turborepo workspace just like you mentioned
