About:
Pnpm is a fast and efficient package manager for JavaScript and Node.js that uses a content-addressable store to avoid duplicating files across projects. It creates a single store on your disk, saving significant space and installation time. It strictly enforces dependency isolation to prevent phantom dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Space-efficient single-store architecture
  • Strict dependency isolation
  • Fast parallel installations
  • Workspaces support for monorepos
Use Cases:
  • Managing dependencies in large JavaScript projects
  • Reducing disk usage in CI/CD pipelines
  • Monorepo management
Alternatives:
  • npm – Pnpm is faster and uses significantly less disk space
  • Yarn – Similar performance but Pnpm uses a more efficient storage model
