How you can add Nx to your project?
👩‍💻 npx nx init
✅ Get to work

Now Nx just runs your existing package.json scripts!

a web that isn't human-first is a web I want nothing to do with. I'm not going to "optimize the graph" of assertions, or whatever. I'm not a content farm for your algorithm. i'm here to build real relationships with real people - and if that's not what the web is for anymore, I'll be somewhere else.

❌ Stop copying repositories.
✅ Use Git worktrees instead
👨‍🍳💋 Use @johnlindquist.com's worktree CLI

If you haven't tried them yet, pause for a couple minutes and check out @juri.dev article & video.

We just wrapped up Java Week at Nx, and wow, it was awesome!We showed how Nx supports full Java workflows with Gradle, connected a Spring Boot backend to a R... Nx for Java Developers: Gradle, Spring Boot & Android in One Monorepo

Java in a monorepo? Yep.

This week, we explored how Nx makes fullstack Java development a breeze:

• Spring Boot + React
• Android in a monorepo
• CI times cut in half
• One-command Docker deploys

Maven support is coming 👀

Full recap: youtu.be/HK8tGZsODN0

Seamless Java Deployment in Nx Using Docker Learn how to package, run, and deploy a Java backend from an Nx monorepo using the new Nx Docker plugin—automating builds, streamlining releases, and shipping production-ready containers.

Want to deploy a Java backend in a Nx monorepo?

With the upcoming Nx Docker plugin, you can build and release Docker images with a single command.

Here's how to ship a backend to Docker Hub, fast.

Polyglot Projects Made Easy: Integrating Spring Boot into an Nx Workspace Learn how to seamlessly integrate a Spring Boot Java backend into an existing Nx monorepo with a React frontend—streamlining development, simplifying workflows, and enabling powerful fullstack coordination.

Spring Boot + React in one Nx workspace?

Yup, we did it.

And dev life is way smoother now.
Build, run, and debug your frontends and backend at the same time.
Now with Java ☕️

The Journey of Nx Gradle: From Prototype to Production Nx’s Gradle plugin evolved from a prototype into a robust solution for integrating Java projects in monorepos, offering deep Gradle insights, faster CI, and upcoming Maven support.

We're starting off a week dedicated to Java ☕️!

To kick things off, let's look at the history and recent improvements we've made to support Java with our Nx Gradle plugin.

From a rough prototype to a production ready plugin, let's get

This looks a lot like mine, but add a dozen Goosebumps books 😅

Software development.

What better way to start the week off than with a brand-new Nx Release!

In Nx 21.3, we got a bunch of new features in this release, so let's dive into them 🧵

DK Bananza is the most wonderfully depressing game. It’s clearly the work of lifelong game developers mentoring novices and it’s the kind of game we’d have a lot more of if game publishers actually let game development be a stable, life-long career for people.

If you've got consistency problems, we've got the solution: Conformance with Nx Cloud!

✅ Automate enforcement across your entire enterprise
⚙️ Any technology, even repos without Nx
💪 All without making a single change to your repos.

I'm incredibly happy for and proud of New Yorkers, and also for the idea, opposed and despised by all the worst and most powerful people in American society, that things are worth doing because you believe they're right and just and good.

From now through November, we're gonna hear about how NYC is different and how we cannot think that what works here will work everywhere.

But this part absolutely will: Create an active (not reactive) vision for what the world could be. Motivate people to build that world together, with you. Win.
