I have been experimenting with pnpm for improving our package installation speed/size requirements, and it's really very good. I don't think we can merge this yet, since it doesn't work with Dependabot yet, though it is likely to be added at some point.
The major benefit of pnpm is that it will install a dependency only once, and if multiple packages (e.g., sub-projects like the microservices) use the same package, you only have to install it once. I've found that this is much, much faster, and also requires less disk space (~700M vs. 1.8G).
I wouldn't recommend running
pnpm install
in the same tree where you have already runnpm install
, but rather to do it in a clean fork if you want to test it. To get rid ofnode_modules
