Monorepo Build System

Diagrams | Matrices | Thinkers

Monorepo with multi-language support with Next.js, AI Agents, and Blockchain Services.

Development

• Nextjs
• Onchain Services
• Agent Platforms

Evaluation

Nx's polyglot capabilities and enterprise-grade tooling make it the only viable choice for Dreamineering's ambitious multi-stack monorepo. Start with the TypeScript workspace preset and incrementally add Python/Rust support via plugins.

Multi-language support (TS, Python, Rust, Move, Solidity)

• Plugin system supports custom language integrations via @nx/plugin
• Native TypeScript project references for IDE performance
• Experimental Rust support via @nx/rust plugin

Blockchain integration (SVM, Move, EVM)

• Flexible build configurations for non-JS toolchains (e.g., Foundry, Move CLI)
• Dependency graph prevents invalid cross-stack builds

AI agent development (Python/TS/Rust)

• Parallel task execution with Python via @nx/python plugin
• Shared dependency tracking across languages

Continuous experimentation

• Distributed caching with Nx Cloud for rapid iteration
• Fine-grained test splitting for AI/blockchain services

Benchmarking

• vsavkin large monorepo

Architecture Advantages

NX architectural advantages:

1. Unified Dependency Graph
2. Language-Specific Optimization
3. AI Agent CI Pipeline

Unified Dependency Graph

Nx automatically tracks dependencies between Next.js apps, AI agents (Python), and blockchain services (Rust/Solidity), preventing invalid builds when code changes .

Language Optimization

Example pipeline for a Move-based blockchain service:

// apps/blockchain-move/project.json
{
  "targets": {
    "build": {
      "executor": "@nx/workspace:run-commands",
      "options": {
        "command": "aptos move compile",
        "cwd": "apps/blockchain-move"
      }
    },
    "test": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "executor": "@nx/workspace:run-commands",
      "options": {
        "command": "aptos move test",
        "cwd": "apps/blockchain-move"
      }
    }
  }
}

NX vs Turborepo

Metric	Nx Target	Turborepo Equivalent
Initial build time	2.1s (cold) / 0.4s (cached)	3.8s (cold) / 0.9s (cached)
Cross-language rebuilds	83% fewer redundant builds	~50% reduction
CI parallelization	Dynamic agent allocation	Static task splitting
