Can BoringCache provide our Nx remote cache?

Yes. BoringCache provides a shared remote-cache endpoint and workspace for Nx. It does not replace Nx Cloud's broader CI features.

Can Nx share a workspace with Turborepo cache?

Yes. Nx and Turborepo keep separate protocols while sharing the same BoringCache workspace.

Nx remote cache

Share Nx task results without changing your graph.

Make cached task outputs available across CI and local development. Nx still computes input hashes and decides which tasks need to run.
