nx-cloud

What is nx-cloud?

nx-cloud is an npm package that provides cloud-based caching and distributed task execution for Nx workspaces. It helps in speeding up the build process by caching previous builds and distributing tasks across multiple machines.

What are nx-cloud's main functionalities?

Distributed Task Execution

This feature allows you to distribute tasks across multiple machines, speeding up the build process. The code sample demonstrates how to execute a build task for a specific project using nx-cloud.

const { exec } = require('nx-cloud');

exec('build', { project: 'my-app' }).then(() => {
  console.log('Build completed!');
});

Cloud-based Caching

This feature enables cloud-based caching of build artifacts, which can significantly reduce build times by reusing previously cached results. The code sample shows how to cache a build task for a specific project.

const { cache } = require('nx-cloud');

cache('build', { project: 'my-app' }).then(() => {
  console.log('Build cached!');
});

Real-time Monitoring

This feature provides real-time monitoring of task execution, allowing you to track the progress of your builds. The code sample demonstrates how to monitor the progress of a build task.

const { monitor } = require('nx-cloud');

monitor('build', { project: 'my-app' }).on('progress', (progress) => {
  console.log(`Build progress: ${progress}%`);
});

Other packages similar to nx-cloud

turbo

Turbo is a build system for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos. It offers features like incremental builds, task scheduling, and caching. Compared to nx-cloud, Turbo focuses more on the monorepo management and less on cloud-based features.

circleci

CircleCI is a continuous integration and delivery platform that automates the build, test, and deployment process. It offers features like parallelism and caching. Unlike nx-cloud, CircleCI is a full-fledged CI/CD platform rather than a build tool.
