About
pnpm is a JavaScript package manager focused on installation speed and disk space efficiency. It uses a content-addressable storage approach to avoid duplicating packages across projects, making it particularly effective for monorepos. It also offers improved security features to protect against supply chain attacks.
Problem
Traditional package managers like npm are slow, waste disk space by duplicating dependencies, and can expose projects to supply chain attacks.
For
JavaScript and Node.js developers
How it works
pnpm stores packages in a content-addressable store and uses hard links/symlinks so packages are never duplicated on disk, dramatically reducing install times and storage usage.
