E021 - NX + NX Cloud

The Angular Show panelists (Aaron Frost, Brian Love, Alisa Nicoll, and Shai Reznik) chat with the co-founders of Narwhal Jeff Cross and Victor Savkin about Nx and Nx Cloud. But first, we check in with Jeff, who you may not know, has and cuddles with pigs, and Victor, who is a new father.

Nx Cloud is a way for you to enable distributed computation cache such that you, your team, and your Continuous Integration (CI) can share build artifacts. Practically speaking, this results in saving you and your organization time when building and testing your application.
You might be wondering, what exactly is computation cache? Victor breaks this down for us and shares how Nx tackles this, and further, how we can use Nx cloud to distribute the computation cache across a team, including CI.

To get started, you'll need to be using Nx, which not only tackles computation cache, but is a tool for implementing a monorepo strategy. Then, set up Nx Cloud with an access token in your config for distributing the cache.
