What Nx Agents CI does
Nx Agents is a CI feature from Nx Cloud that distributes Nx tasks across multiple machines to speed up pipelines. The page says Nx Cloud decides which task runs where and when, based on what it knows about projects and tasks. Named features include dynamic task packing, scaling agents by PR size through the distribute-on setting, scheduling constraints in .nx/ci-config.yaml, launch templates such as linux-large-js, and a timeline view of task distribution. Related guides cover flaky task retries, splitting slow tasks by file, and bringing your own compute. The example setup uses GitHub Actions, and the page links to examples for other CI providers. The page states no prices and offers a Try Nx Cloud for Free button.
