Speed up! Incremental Compilation with Nx
summary
Claims that Nx implements incremental compilation using its dependency graph, computation caching, and a distributed cache in Nx Cloud, with affected commands, --parallel and CI distribution (example: eight nodes) to cut CI time. Adds a --buildable library workflow and a --with-deps flag so libraries are prebuilt and restored from cache. Measured example: cold monorepo build ~68s, warm incremental builds ~6–7s. Provides an example repo and configs on Nrwl’s GitHub.
