Enforce module boundaries in an Nx monorepo by applying eslint rules with tags to restrict library imports. This prevents circular dependencies and promotes maintainability across your feature, ui, data-access, and util libraries.

Configure build cache and affected commands in nx.json by defining target inputs and outputs. This setup tracks file changes to cache build artifacts and run tasks only for affected projects, significantly boosting CI speed.

The best way to structure apps and libs in a new Nx workspace is to separate applications from libraries and categorize libraries into standardized types like feature, ui, data-access, and util. This organization streamlines project configuration and maintainability.

Yes, you can migrate an existing repository to an Nx workspace by integrating nx.json and project.json templates. The migration process applies standardized library types and configures module boundaries without breaking your current project organization.

Configuring project.json matters for Nx monorepo performance because it defines specific target inputs and outputs for each project. Proper target configuration enables precise build caching and allows the affected command to skip unchanged code efficiently.

You need remote caching when local build cache limits CI speed across multiple machines or team members. It shares cached build artifacts across your environment by connecting nx.json to a remote cache server, ensuring faster workspace builds.
