# Which Problems Are Solved
Replaces Turbo by Nx and lays the foundation for the next CI
improvements. It enables using Nx Cloud to speed the up the pipelines
that affect any node package.
It streamlines the dev experience for frontend and backend developers by
providing the following commands:
| Task | Command | Notes |
|------|---------|--------|
| **Production** | `nx run PROJECT:prod` | Production server |
| **Develop** | `nx run PROJECT:dev` | Hot reloading development server
|
| **Test** | `nx run PROJECT:test` | Run all tests |
| **Lint** | `nx run PROJECT:lint` | Check code style |
| **Lint Fix** | `nx run PROJECT:lint-fix` | Auto-fix style issues |
The following values can be used for PROJECT:
- @zitadel/zitadel (root commands)
- @zitadel/api,
- @zitadel/login,
- @zitadel/console,
- @zitadel/docs,
- @zitadel/client
- @zitadel/proto
The project names and folders are streamlined:
| Old Folder | New Folder |
| --- | --- |
| ./e2e | ./tests/functional-ui |
| ./load-test | ./benchmark |
| ./build/zitadel | ./apps/api |
| ./console | ./apps/console (postponed so the PR is reviewable) |
Also, all references to the TypeScript repo are removed so we can
archive it.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Ran `npx nx@latest init`
- Replaced all turbo.json by project.json and fixed the target configs
- Removed Turbo dependency
- All JavaScript related code affected by a PRs changes is
quality-checked using the `nx affected` command
- We move PR checks that are runnable using Nx into the `check`
workflow. For workflows where we don't use Nx, yet, we restore
previously built dependency artifacts from Nx.
- We only use a single and easy to understand dev container
- The CONTRIBUTING.md is streamlined
- The setup with a generated client pat is orchestrated with Nx
- Everything related to the TypeScript repo is updated or removed. A
**Deploy with Vercel** button is added to the docs and the
CONTRIBUTING.md.
# Additional Changes
- NPM package names have a consistent pattern.
- Docker bake is removed. The login container is built and released like
the core container.
- The integration tests build the login container before running, so
they don't rely on the login container action anymore. This fixes
consistently failing checks on PRs from forks.
- The docs build in GitHub actions is removed, as we already build on
Vercel.

# Which Problems Are Solved
Login integration tests are not executed in the pipeline
# How the Problems Are Solved
The login integration tests are fixed and added as a pipeline workflow.
It tests against the built login docker image.
On pipeline failures, developers are guided on how to fix them using a
dev container configured for this purpose.
# Additional Changes
- email domains are replaced by example.com. In case the tests were
accidentally run against a cloud instance, it wouldn't cause bounces.
- pnpm is upgraded, because the --filter argument doesn't work for the
install command on the old version.
- The login Dockerfile is optimized for docker image builds
# Additional Changes From Review for
https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/10305
These changes were requested from @peintnermax
- The base dev container starts without any services besides the
database and the dev container itself
- CONTRIBUTING.md is restructured
- To reproduce pipeline checks, only the devcontainer CLI and Docker are
needed. This is described in the CONTRIBUTING.md
- The convenience npm script "generate" is added
# Additional Context
- Follow-up for PR https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/pull/10305
- Base for https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/10277
# Which Problems Are Solved
- The previous monorepo in monorepo structure for the login app and its
related packages was fragmented, complicated and buggy.
- The process for building and testing the login container was
inconsistent between local development and CI.
- Lack of clear documentation as well as easy and reliable ways for
non-frontend developers to reproduce and fix failing PR checks locally.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Consolidated the login app and its related npm packages by moving the
main package to `apps/login/apps/login` and merging
`apps/login/packages/integration` and `apps/login/packages/acceptance`
into the main `apps/login` package.
- Migrated from Docker Compose-based test setups to dev container-based
setups, adding support for multiple dev container configurations:
- `.devcontainer/base`
- `.devcontainer/turbo-lint-unit`
- `.devcontainer/turbo-lint-unit-debug`
- `.devcontainer/login-integration`
- `.devcontainer/login-integration-debug`
- Added npm scripts to run the new dev container setups, enabling exact
reproduction of GitHub PR checks locally, and updated the pipeline to
use these containers.
- Cleaned up Dockerfiles and docker-bake.hcl files to only build the
production image for the login app.
- Cleaned up compose files to focus on dev environments in dev
containers.
- Updated `CONTRIBUTING.md` with guidance on running and debugging PR
checks locally using the new dev container approach.
- Introduced separate Dockerfiles for the login app to distinguish
between using published client packages and building clients from local
protos.
- Ensured the login container is always built in the pipeline for use in
integration and acceptance tests.
- Updated Makefile and GitHub Actions workflows to use
`--frozen-lockfile` for installing pnpm packages, ensuring reproducible
installs.
- Disabled GitHub release creation by the changeset action.
- Refactored the `/build` directory structure for clarity and
maintainability.
- Added a `clean` command to `docks/package.json`.
- Experimentally added `knip` to the `zitadel-client` package for
improved linting of dependencies and exports.
# Additional Changes
- Fixed Makefile commands for consistency and reliability.
- Improved the structure and clarity of the `/build` directory to
support seamless integration of the login build.
- Enhanced documentation and developer experience for running and
debugging CI checks locally.
# Additional Context
- See updated `CONTRIBUTING.md` for new local development and debugging
instructions.
- These changes are a prerequisite for further improvements to the CI
pipeline and local development workflow.
- Closes#10276
