pnpm

npm suffers from slow installation times and high resource consumption, particularly in large-scale projects with many dependencies. This impacts developer productivity and build times, with developers finding alternatives like Yarn and pnpm faster.

Developers must maintain package compatibility across multiple package managers (npm, pnpm, yarn) and JavaScript runtimes (Node, Deno, Bun), significantly complicating maintenance and distracting from security concerns.

The `pnpm install` command does not run the Prisma generate postinstall script, preventing automatic client generation when using pnpm as the package manager.
