Keynote - Nx and Lerna: Integrated vs Package-Based Monorepos
summary
Nx claims it runs both integrated style and package-based monorepos well, and now owns stewardship of Lerna so tasks and caching are compatible. It hashes inputs, stores outputs in node_modules, and shares builds via Nx Cloud so CI populates a remote cache teammates pull from. Distributed execution uses a coordinator to shard work across agents and stream artifacts between them. Reported growth is ~15x in two years and package-style share trending toward 50/50.
