# ☁ Nx Cloud
Nx caches the output of any previously run command such as testing and building,
so it can replay the cached results instead of rerunning it. Nx Cloud allows you
to share the computation cache across everyone in your team and CI.

Storm Software is an open source software development organization and creator
of Acidic, StormStack and StormCloud.
Our mission is to make software development more accessible. Our ideal future is
one where anyone can create software without years of prior development
experience serving as a barrier to entry. We hope to achieve this via LLMs,
Generative AI, and intuitive, high-level data modeling/programming languages.
