pnpm
Also known as: pnpm package manager / performant npm
Node.js package manager using a content-addressable store. Faster and disk-efficient vs. npm; great for monorepos combined with Turborepo.
Overview
pnpm combines symlinks and a content-addressable store to prevent duplicate package storage. Installation speed is 2-3x faster than npm, with especially large gains in monorepo setups.
Choosing between pnpm, npm, and Yarn
pnpm is recommended for new projects and monorepos. npm is most widespread as it ships with Node.js, while Yarn is chosen for its reliable lockfile. For Next.js project practices, see the Vercel + Next.js 16 complete guide.
