Building Fast, Maintainable JavaScript Monorepos with Nx
summary
Shows concrete commands and outcomes: create a workspace with npx create-nx-workspace, generate apps and libs with nx g react:app and see each project hold a project.json. Demonstrates caching where one app reports existing outputs match the cache while another runs in 1s, remote cache via NX Cloud shares outputs, and git-aware nx affected --target=test returns zero projects when nothing changed. Also covers the project graph and ESLint enforce-module-boundaries using tags to stop accidental cross-team imports.
