Project graph analysis in Nx visualizes and queries workspace dependencies, showing how projects relate and impact each other. Use `nx graph` to view the dependency structure, then run `nx affected` to identify which projects changed after modifications.

Affected detection identifies impacted projects after changes by analyzing the project graph. Run `nx affected:build` or `nx affected:test` to execute only tasks for changed projects and their dependents, accelerating feedback loops in multi-project repos.

Code generation with Nx generators scaffolds new apps and libraries following workspace conventions. Use `nx generate @nx/[plugin]:app` or `nx generate @nx/[plugin]:lib` to create structured projects that integrate automatically into your workspace.

Nx caching and Nx Cloud accelerate builds by storing task outputs and distributing execution across machines. Enable local caching with task runners, then configure Nx Cloud for remote caching and distributed tasks to achieve deterministic, fast builds at scale.

Nx Cloud configuration enables remote caching and distributed task execution for large repositories. Connect your workspace to Nx Cloud, authenticate with `nx connect-to-nx-cloud`, then configure task routing in `nx.json` to distribute builds and cache results remotely.

Local caching and affected detection work without Nx Cloud, but Nx Cloud adds remote caching and task distribution for teams and large repos. Start with local workflows using `nx affected` and `nx cache`, then adopt Nx Cloud when scaling to multiple developers or machines.
