What is Nx?
Nx is an open-source build system and monorepo toolkit created by Nrwl, providing computation caching, a project dependency graph, code generators and detection of which projects are affected by a change. Nx Cloud adds optional, separately priced remote caching and distributed task execution for CI.

NxCI/CDOpen-source build system and monorepo tooling with optional managed CI caching
Key capabilities
- Task caching: Local and (optionally) remote caching of build/test/lint tasks.
- Dependency graph: Visualize and query relationships between projects in a monorepo.
- Generators: Scaffold apps, libraries and code changes consistently.
The core CLI is free and open source; only Nx Cloud's remote caching/CI distribution is a paid add-on, so measure actual CI time savings against its usage-based pricing before adopting it broadly.
