Nx and Turborepo are build tools used for managing monorepos. Turborepo, released in December 2021, borrows many ideas from Nx but currently offers a subset of Nx's features. Unlike Turborepo, Nx supports both package-based and integrated approaches to monorepos, provides robust project graph visualization, and enables distributed task execution across multiple machines. Additionally, Nx offers extensive plugin support, high-quality IDE integrations, and flexible task coordination and computation caching strategies. Nx was released in 2016 and has a larger community and ecosystem compared to the newer Turborepo.
