This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

pnpm is an alternative tool to manage your frontend dependencies. Unlike yarn 1 it manages all packages in a central place and creates symbolic links only inside the npm_modules of a project. This results in considerably less usage of disk space and reduces build-times, when a package is already available.

Additionally, a cache server can be setup and used during pipeline builds to decrease network traffic and build times.
