Navigating the npm Ecosystem in the Enterprise - Bethany Griggs
The npm ecosystem is fast-moving and vibrant, and with over 1.6 million modules there’s considerable choice and variety too. For some aspects, you'll likely find several equally good modules, as well as several potentially very bad choices. In some cases, you’ll search for the best fitting, newest, or most innovative modules to use. Yet in other cases, you may want something that just works based on past experiences or best practices within your organisation.
These choices need to be routinely evaluated and there is value in attempting to predict future trends - what may be a good choice today may not be in the future.
This talk will share how our organisation is approaching this challenge and what we’ve learned so far. We’ll also deep dive into an example of how we’re trying to predict future ecosystem trends in the context of Node.js web frameworks. NodeConf Remote 2021 was kindly sponsored by:
