What it is

A monorepo build system at v23 with the same caching and affected-graph ideas as Turborepo, plus code generators, per-framework plugins and module-boundary rules. The core CLI and local cache are MIT; remote caching and self-healing CI live in the paid Nx Cloud.

Why it earns a slot

Pick Nx over Turborepo when you want scaffolding and enforced architecture rules, not just caching. It generates whole libraries wired correctly, which stops an AI agent from inventing a fifth folder convention.

Know before you commit

Much more opinionated than Turborepo and harder to remove later. The most valuable features push you toward paid Nx Cloud.
