About:
pnpm is a fast and efficient package manager for JavaScript and Node.js that uses a content-addressable store to save disk space. It creates a single copy of each package version on the system and links them to projects, which significantly reduces installation times and storage requirements. It also enforces strict dependency isolation to prevent phantom dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Space-efficient single-store architecture
  • Strict dependency isolation and deterministic builds
  • Fast installation via hard links and pnpm workspaces
  • Supports monorepos and selective versioning
Use Cases:
  • Managing dependencies in large JavaScript or TypeScript projects
  • Optimizing CI/CD pipelines for faster, reproducible builds
  • Handling monorepos with shared packages and workspaces
Alternatives:
  • npm – npm installs duplicate packages per project, making it slower and less space-efficient.
  • yarn – Yarn offers similar speed but uses a different linking strategy; pnpm typically uses less disk space.
