Summary

Nrwl has released a new beta version of Lerna, which now boasts a significant speed increase by integrating Nx's task scheduling capabilities through a new "useNx" flag. This enhancement allows Lerna to perform up to 5.3 times faster than Turborepo, leveraging Nx's advanced caching and task orchestration features. Users can easily implement this by upgrading to Lerna v5.1, installing Nx as a dependency, and enabling the "useNx" feature in their lerna.json configuration. The integration not only accelerates build processes but also introduces Nx's project graph, distributed caching, and task execution capabilities. This development marks an effort by Nrwl to improve Lerna’s efficiency without requiring substantial changes to existing workflows, while also providing users with the option to explore Nx Cloud for further performance gains. The company has also published a roadmap for Lerna's future developments and is actively seeking feedback from the community as they prepare for a stable release.
