  • I Tried Nx Plugin for AWS, Here's Why I'm Sold
    4 projects | dev.to | 5 Sep 2026
    Nx Plugin for AWS (@aws/nx-plugin), an AWS Labs open source project, tackles that problem with code generators built on top of Nx. Instead of once again writing out boilerplate for every new service or website, you can just run a generator (CLI), answer a few questions, and get production-ready application code plus the CDK or Terraform to deploy it.
  • React Native Architecture: 8 Folder Structures for Scalable Apps
    2 projects | dev.to | 16 Aug 2026
    Tooling: Yarn Workspaces or Lerna as a starting point, often paired with Nx or Turborepo once the repo is big enough to need build caching and task orchestration.
  • Why AI Hates Modern Frameworks (and Loves Web Standards)
    6 projects | dev.to | 30 Jun 2026
    Angular, React with its whole ecosystem, Nx with its monorepos: these are powerful tools, built by humans to coordinate teams of humans on massive codebases. And for that purpose, they're often the right choice — if your primary constraint is coordinating hundreds of engineers over a decade, the conventions and tooling of an established framework earn their keep.
  • What is Monorepo ?
    1 project | dev.to | 21 Jun 2026
    Their are various tools available that allows to use Monorepo in your project such as: Nx and Turborepo combined with a package manager of your choice (pnpm is standard choice), all package managers supports workspaces so that you can add and link packages in your monorepo seamlessly. Based on your requirements, you can opt for Turborepo (popular one) or Nx (more professional one).
  • Designing for Scale: Repository Structures that Boost Software Development Productivity
    3 projects | dev.to | 20 May 2026
    The solution isn't always a knee-jerk switch to a polyrepo. As radwanalmsora highlighted in the discussion, more often it's about investing in robust tooling for your monorepo. Tools like Bazel, Nx, or Turborepo can build graphs to understand dependencies, ensuring CI only runs affected targets. Combined with CODEOWNERS files, these tools enable even massive monorepos (think Google or Meta scale) to function efficiently. The takeaway for technical leadership: invest in smart tooling early to maintain high software development productivity, rather than letting a lack of structure dictate your repository strategy.
  • Monorepo vs Multi-Repo: Why AI Agents Tip the Scale
    6 projects | dev.to | 20 May 2026
    Monorepo gave you atomic cross-service changes, a single dependency graph, unified CI/CD, and zero version skew between internal libraries. The cost was large clone sizes, slower CI without build caching, complex permission models, and the need for specialized tooling like Bazel, Pants, Nx, or Buck2 to keep builds fast.
  • Inside a 3-app Turborepo monorepo: parallelism, caching, and CI that stays fast
    6 projects | dev.to | 12 May 2026
    But workspaces alone doesn't handle task orchestration — what to build first, what to cache, what to skip. For that, build tools like Lerna, Nx, or Turborepo are generally used. They sit on top of workspaces, not in place of them — you use both.
  • Bun is Fast, pnpm is Correct: The Future of the JS Ecosystem as Shown by Two Package Managers
    2 projects | dev.to | 29 Jan 2026
    Especially in monorepo setups using Turborepo or Nx, pnpm workspaces have become standard.
  • How we unified our Terraform module repositories
    1 project | dev.to | 14 Nov 2025
    The turning point came when we consolidated all Terraform modules into a single monorepo. Nx provided the orchestration layer that made this transformation not just possible, but elegant.
