Smart Monorepo and Fast CI with Nx
summary
Migrating a growing TypeScript monorepo from Lerna/npm workspaces to Nx is shown, using nx init to convert in one command and nx graph (which infers dependencies from TS path imports) to build a dependency graph. The workflow uses selective orchestration plus local and NX Cloud caching (with distributed agents) so only affected libraries are built; a demo generates a new library, adds Vite test config via Nx plugins, and uses nx affected to reduce pre-commit test times to ~5–10s and speed CI cache reuse across machines.
