About

Nx is a developer tooling company and open-source project originally created at Nrwl in 2018 that provides a smart build system and workspace management tools for monorepo development. The platform analyzes project dependency graphs to determine which parts of a codebase are affected by any given change, then runs only the necessary build, test, and lint tasks rather than rebuilding everything. Nx Replay provides distributed remote caching that allows entire teams and CI pipelines to share computed results, dramatically reducing build times in large codebases. Nx Cloud extends this with distributed task execution that splits work across multiple machines automatically. The platform supports JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Angular, Node.js, Go, and other languages and frameworks, making it framework-agnostic. Nx has been adopted by thousands of organizations including major technology companies managing large multi-team codebases. The company raised $8.6M and has built a robust open-source community with millions of monthly downloads. Nx competes with Turborepo and Bazel for the monorepo tooling market while focusing on developer experience and deep framework integration.
