When **npm**, **Yarn**, and **PNPM** introduced "workspaces," another option emerged: **package-based monorepos**, where Nx primarily acted as a task runner with caching and parallelization.

Integrated monorepos offer automation but are opinionated. Package-based monorepos provide flexibility but require more effort to manage. Combining the two wasn’t easy, largely because of how Nx plugins were initially designed.

112112
`nx import` builds on the work done in **Project Crystal**, making migrations smoother. For example, when importing a Gradle-based app, Nx detects the Gradle configuration, suggests installing the `@nx/gradle` plugin, and sets everything up for you. It reads your Gradle files, identifies runnable tasks, configures caching, and integrates the project into the workspace.

This gives you quick access to project details, command options, caching configurations, and moreright in your editor.

Nx is built around tasks that start and finish, but that doesn’t always fit workflows involving **dev servers, watch-mode builds, or background services**. These tasks run indefinitely, which can be tricky to manageespecially when other processes depend on them, like e2e tests that require a server to stay up.

237237
We’re working on adding support for **long-running tasks** that can run alongside regular build and test processes. This will make workflows smoother and help avoid the need for manual orchestration. The upcoming **Nx terminal UI rewrite** will reflect this, making it easier to track and visualize long-running processes alongside other tasks (more about that later in the article).
