The sheer vastness of the Node.js module ecosystem poses challenges for the consumers, authors, and maintainers. How do consumers know which of the 1 million modules to rely on for their production deployments? How do module authors handle their hobby projects evolving into a widespread, critical dependency? What happens to abandoned modules? How can a module author test the impact of their changes on dependant applications? This talk will highlight these problems, and also showcase the work that the Node.js Package Maintenance team is doing to try and help solve these problems.
