Nrwl

Nrwl is a software company known for creating Nx, a set of extensible development tools designed to help teams manage monorepos and scale their frontend and backend applications. The Nx toolchain focuses on enabling developers to build, test, and deploy multiple projects from a single repository with an emphasis on speed, consistency, and automation.

Nrwl was founded in 2016 by Victor Savkin and Jeff Cross, both former members of Google’s Angular team, to address the challenges of large-scale Angular projects in monorepos. The core product, Nx, began as Nrwl Extensions for Angular and has since evolved into a framework-agnostic platform supported by a broad plugin ecosystem. This architecture allows Nx to support multiple technologies through dedicated plugins for frameworks such as Angular, React, and various Node.js environments.

In addition to the core Nx toolset, Nrwl offers Nx Cloud, a cloud-based service that provides computation caching and distributed task execution to accelerate builds, tests, and CI workflows. The company also maintains Nx Console, a graphical user interface that simplifies working with Nx commands and workflows. Nx is released as open-source software under an MIT-style license, while Nx Cloud and related enterprise features are offered as commercial services with additional support and governance capabilities.

Nrwl’s tooling is widely used by development teams seeking to improve maintainability and efficiency in monorepos, enabling features such as incremental builds, affected command execution, and dependency graph visualization across multiple applications and libraries.
