Nx builds a project graph by analyzing your workspace, which it then uses to only rebuild what is necessary and to never run the same computation twice. Nx also helps establish structured code sharing and ownership management to keep the workspace maintainable. Nx provides a modern integrated dev experience. It has a high-quality VS Code plugin, interactive visualizations, GitHub integration and more. The core of Nx is generic, simple, and unobtrusive. Nx Plugins are completely optional, but they can really level up your productivity. Whether you have one project or one thousand, Nx will keep your CI fast and your workspace maintainable. Nx is smart. It analyzes your workspace and figures out what can be affected by every code change. That's why Nx doesn't rebuild and retest everything on every commit, it only rebuilds what is necessary. Nx comes with an interactive dependency diagram to help explore and understand your workspace.
