Nx
Nx provides a build system with advanced CI capabilities and tooling for monorepos, featuring local and remote caching, distributed computation, and integration with popular IDEs.
Comprehensive Build System
Nx provides a build system equipped with built-in tooling and advanced Continuous Integration (CI) capabilities specifically designed for maintaining and scaling monorepos. It supports different monorepo styles, allowing for extensive customization through powerful plugins. This system is trusted by major companies, including Walmart, FedEx, VMware, Shopify, T-Mobile, and Microsoft.
Nx Agents for Distributed Computation
Nx offers Nx Agents, a feature that facilitates distributed computation across multiple machines. These agents are fully managed and dynamically allocated based on the size of Pull Requests (PR), optimizing resource usage and efficiency. This capability enhances task execution speed and operational scalability.
Caching and Performance Optimization
Nx features built-in local and remote caching, designed to speed up tasks and save both time and money. This intelligent caching mechanism ensures that repetitive tasks are executed swiftly, by leveraging previously computed results. This thoughtful design prioritizes performance optimization for developers working with monorepos.
AI Tool: Tusky
Nx is actively developing an AI tool named Tusky. This tool is designed to incorporate the context of the workspace, commit history, and historical build timing data. Tusky aims to provide intelligent insights and improve the development workflow by leveraging the power of AI.
Integrations and Tools
Nx integrates seamlessly with popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) through Nx Console, which is available for VSCode, JetBrains, and Neovim. The platform also offers an evergreen setup, automatically updating the codebase similarly to database migration scripts. These integrations enhance the user experience by providing a cohesive and productive development environment.
Monorepo World
Nx hosts an annual event called Monorepo World. This event gathers industry professionals and developers to discuss advancements in monorepo management, share best practices, and explore new features and tools offered by Nx. Monorepo World serves as a platform for the community to engage and learn about effective monorepo strategies.
