About:
Dum is a fast, Rust-based command-line tool designed to execute npm scripts efficiently. It acts as a drop-in replacement for 'npm run', offering significant performance improvements and reduced overhead. This makes it ideal for speeding up development workflows in Node.js projects.
Key Features:
  • Written in Rust for high performance and memory safety
  • Drop-in replacement for npm/yarn/pnpm commands
  • Significantly faster script execution compared to standard npm
  • Supports various package managers
Use Cases:
  • Accelerating local development build and test cycles
  • Optimizing CI/CD pipeline script execution times
  • Managing scripts in large monorepo projects
Alternatives:
  • npm – Dum is significantly faster but lacks the extensive ecosystem integration of the native npm client.
  • pnpm – Both focus on speed, but pnpm is a full package manager while dum focuses specifically on script execution speed.
