Yarn 1 workspaces installing hoisted dependencies

1

We have a monorepo setup using rootFolder and filters in Render and we recently moved to yarn 1 workspaces. On install of the apps/api it pulls in the hoisted dependencies from another app. The cache is bigger and the install times are longer.

We have the following folder structure:

apps/
  app
  api
  ...
packages/
  some_package

I think this post explains the issue with monorepo caching in the presence of a hoisted structure: Improved caching for yarn workspaces - Updates - Netlify Support Forums

Question

Is there a workaround on Render’s end to avoid pulling in (and installing) unrelated hoisted dependencies or the only option for now is to use the nohoist option?

Support confirmed that:

I did get confirmation this is how we expect caching to work, so your best bet would be to use the no-hoist option.
