Overview

Nx is a powerful, extensible build framework designed to streamline the development process across various types of applications. Whether you’re building frontend interfaces with React or Angular, backend services in Node or Nest, or even simple web applications without a specific framework, Nx provides the necessary tools and plugins to enhance your development experience. Its core capabilities include the efficient generation of applications and libraries, robust testing options, and a clear overview of your project dependencies.

What sets Nx apart is its ability to handle multiple applications within a single workspace, allowing for seamless collaboration and code sharing. Additionally, when paired with Nx Cloud, developers can experience up to ten times faster builds and tests, making it an invaluable resource for teams eager to optimize their workflow.
