Start Watching

In a monorepo, all of your apps and packages reside in a single repo. Structuring your code this way has many organizational benefits. You can more easily manage your dependencies, and you can maintain more consistency across your various apps.

But, if you attempted to do this with just yarn or pnpm alone, you'll quickly start running into productivity issues. Your build times will be very long, and you'll have to make sure to run builds for any internal packages an app is depending on.

That's where Nx comes in.

Combining the speed of pnpm with the efficiency of Nx gives you an amazingly performant monorepo setup.

Nx builds a graph of your workspace and all of the connected dependencies. If there is a change anywhere, Nx will know about it and everything that is affected by it.

Which means that Nx is able to use caching to prevent unnecessary builds when nothing has changed. Nx's caching features enable blazing fast <10ms build times 🔥

You get to have all the advantages of the monorepo with none of the performance issues!

So start watching this course and learn how to achieve these speeds today.

Learner Reviews

What did you like about this course?
Covers all the basics in a simple way. The demos mix between using "npx" and "pnpx" without explanation. It would be nice to update the materials with information about "pnpm dlx" and "pnpm exec". Thanks for the great course!

What did you like about this course?
How it used nx on top of pnpm and not nx right out of the box. That gives me much more flexibility in my upcoming projects in regards to integration.
