Nx - Highlights of 2023

1

Vitest

Our collaboration with our friends in the Vite core team has been incredibly fruitful. Vite is not just compatible but a first-class option with many of Nx's frontend plugins. When you create a new Nx powered React workspace, Vite (and Vitest) are your default options.

Verdaccio

And finally, we extracted our own Verdaccio setup that we've been using to run our e2e tests in the Nx repo s.t. You can use it for your own plugin development as well. Check out this video for a walkthrough on how this works.

Nest.js

Colocating frontend and backend code within the same monorepo has become a popular practice. It greatly facilitates cross-functional teams and helps ensure end-to-end type safety. Although you can use other backend stacks with Nx, Node is a popular backend companion for JS based frontends. We had support for Express and NestJS backend for a while.

Raven.js

Sentry JavaScript - Sentry, renowned for its comprehensive solutions in frontend monitoring and error logging, recently adopted Nx for their official JavaScript SDK. This move integrates Nx's capabilities into their monorepo, containing packages for popular frontend and Node.js backend integrations. They also published a blog post on the benefits they've seen following the adoption of Nx in their monorepo (hint: reducing CI times by 35%).

Fastify

This year we added another popular option: Fastify. Known for its high performance, excellent developer experience, and useful built-in features like logging, Fastify aligns well with Nx's modular software design principles. Its extensible and modular nature complements the Nx philosophy perfectly.
