Why the models rank Nx — on best monorepo build systems for large typescript repositories
“Best overall for large TypeScript repositories: accurate project and task graphs, affected-only execution, strong local and remote caching, automatic TypeScript project-reference maintenance, dependency-boundary enforcement, generators, and mature distributed CI. Turborepo is a near-tie for simpler repositories, but Nx earns first place when scale and architectural control matter.”
