Nx Console 17.28.0 introduces significant enhancements with Nx Cloud integration directly in Visual Studio Code, offering features like Remote Caching, Distributed Task Execution (DTE), and Version Control System (VCS) integration. Remote Caching allows users to share cached computations across teams and CI agents, ensuring no redundant computations occur. DTE leverages Nx's project graph to efficiently distribute tasks across multiple agents, dramatically reducing CI times, especially for large repositories. VCS integration provides real-time feedback on CI runs directly in pull requests, enhancing collaboration and transparency. The integration is free for the first 500 hours of computation time saved per month, with additional hours available for purchase, and remains completely free for open-source projects. Setting up Nx Cloud through the Nx Console is straightforward, involving minimal changes to the configuration file, and it provides detailed task execution insights through the Nx Cloud web app. Furthermore, claiming a workspace with Nx Cloud allows users to manage access permissions and settings, enhancing control over the development environment.
