Why this particular package manager?

pnpm offers significant advantages over traditional package managers like npm or yarn:

• Faster Performance: pnpm installs dependencies much faster, reducing setup time and speeding up CI/CD pipelines.
• Resource Efficiency: It saves considerable disk space by sharing dependencies across projects instead of duplicating them.
• Increased Reliability: pnpm's strict approach prevents common issues like "phantom dependencies," leading to more predictable and stable builds.

Why corepack?

Corepack is a tool included with modern Node.js versions that standardizes package manager usage across a team and different environments:

• Guaranteed Consistency: It ensures every developer and deployment environment uses the exact same pnpm version specified in the project's package.json, eliminating "works on my machine" problems related to package manager differences.
• Simplified Setup: Developers don't need to manually install or manage pnpm globally; Corepack handles it automatically based on the project configuration.

Together, pnpm and Corepack provide a streamlined, efficient, and consistent development workflow, crucial for maintaining productivity and stability in enterprise projects.
