Reviewer scorecard
“3x faster installs, strict dependency resolution, and disk space savings. The best JavaScript package manager.”
“Type-safe database queries with auto-generated client. Prisma Migrate and Studio round out the developer experience.”
“Strictly better than npm in every measurable way. The strict node_modules prevents dependency bugs.”
“Some performance concerns at extreme scale, but for 99% of apps the DX and type safety are worth it.”
“pnpm's content-addressable store is the right architecture. Bun's speed will push it further.”
“Prisma Accelerate (edge caching) and Pulse (real-time) expand Prisma from ORM to data platform.”
