If CI feels challenging to you, **it might not be your fault**. It's a fundamental issue with how the current, traditional CI execution model works. Nx Cloud adopts a new **task-based** CI model which allows you to overcome both the slowness and unreliability of the current VM-based CI model. _(Dive deeper into the task based CI execution model [in this blog post](/blog/reliable-ci-a-new-execution-model-fixing-both-flakiness-and-slowness))_

Nx Cloud addresses critical aspects of CI/CD, including:
|
|
|
|
- **speed** - 30% - 70% faster CI (based on reports from our clients)
|
|
- **cost** - 40% - 75% reduction in CI costs (observed on the Nx OSS monorepo)
|
|
- **reliability** - by automatically identifying flaky tasks (e2e tests in particular) and re-running them
|
|
|
|
## How?
|
|
|
|
Nx Cloud follows a task-based CI model which is **not just fast but also robust**. Instead of statically assigning work to machines (as in a traditional CI model), you can imagine a **pile of tasks which get picked up automatically** by agents on the Nx Cloud infrastructure. There's **no static assignment, agents coordinate the work by themselves**. If an agent fails during the setup phase, other agents will pick up its work. If more work needs to be done, more agents will be started to still guarantee a fast execution, if less work is needed, fewer agents will be started to save resources.
|
|
|
|
All this is possible because Nx Cloud directly integrates with Nx and has knowledge about the project structure and tasks as well as dependencies among them.
