Scalable solution with an easy initial setup process

Puneeth Babu - PeerSpot reviewer
Is scalable, easily approachable, stable, and easy to set up
There are a lot of features that are very fast in npm, even though it was developed 10 or 12 years back. It comes with a bundle or library, so your development time will radically reduce to half. If you need to spin up a new server or you need to have a developer at minimum cost, it can be easily achieved within npm. Overall, I give npm a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"Provides a lightweight runtime."
"We use the solution to create microservices."
"It's an open-source setting that's very scalable and easily approachable. I like that you can plug in many features to my product."
"The product's most valuable feature is dependency installation."
"The most valuable feature of NPM is to trigger APMs."
"The solution is scalable."
"The reversal build, gendered build, migrated PCA, and CT features are excellent."
 

Cons

"Its performance speed could be improved while working on the browser."
"The tool needs to improve its messaging."
"Deployment of microservers in the Kubernetes environment is difficult."
"Some of the libraries that we try to use in npm have issues with security. Also, because it's an open-source solution, I think there are lots of challenges with security. So, the security layer could be improved."
"The library could be updated."
"The product should be compatible with various programming languages, including both native and upcoming languages."
"NPM can improve the package manager. For the packages we download for our APM studio to trigger our APM driver, it would benefit if we could have the latest version of NuGet Package Manager within the package manager control. For example, Visual Studio would be good. Then it would be easy for us to get the package manager from there instead of Googling it out and matching it with the current version. It would be less time-consuming for us."
"I would like to see compatible versions, and what new features they will be providing. If it is a useful feature I can merge it. If it is not a usable feature, then I can ignore the newer version."
