About this episode
This episode explores monorepo architecture with Nx, discussing strategies for scaling applications effectively.
Should you be afraid of monorepos? Not with Nx. Tune in and learn how to scale apps without scaling pain. In this episode of React Universe On Air, Łukasz Chludziński chats with Jordan Powell from Nx to explore what it really takes to build and manage a monorepo at scale. From dependency graphs to distributed CI tasks, they break down how Nx helps teams stay fast, focused, and frustration-free. Whether you're just getting started with Yarn Workspaces or running into CI bottlenecks, this episode gives you the strategies and context to go further with less overhead. Key learnings ➡️ The difference between monorepos and monoliths ➡️ How Nx graphs improve selective builds and testing ➡️ What “ownership rules” mean for large codebases ➡️ How distributed task execution saves time in CI ➡️ Why better DX equals better business outcomes ➡️ Real-world patterns for React Native and full-stack monorepos Catch more React Universe On Air episodes 🎧 https://clstk.com/44Bj51X Get your React Universe Conf 2025 tickets 🎟 https://clstk.com/4nFqTZ1 Sign up for our newsletter ✉️ https://clstk.com/3TrnIGH Follow us on X 🐦 https://x.com/callstacki 00:00 Welcome to the React Universe 00:42 Meet…
