Off-topic, how can I seamlessly integrate the frontend and backend repositories

[kaisiant]

I have a directory called my-app, which contains two folders: frontend and backend. When I try to deploy the frontend, I'm running into errors related to type inference from the backend folder.

My question is: how should I properly wire up the project? I feel like I'm lacking some knowledge in this area. Also, using Turborepo seems a bit overcomplicated for my needs — is there a simpler alternative?

I assume that you're using Elysia Eden package on your frontend to interact with the backend. There's a whole page documenting Gotchas when it comes to that https://elysiajs.com/eden/installation.html#gotcha. You don't necessarily need turborepo for this setup

My frontend and backend are in separate repositories, so the frontend can’t find the type definitions during deployment.

You need something like remote DTS https://github.com/rayriffy/elysia-remote-dts. It will expose a /server.d.ts file on your backend as an endpoint that can be downloaded by the client
