Love to see an alternative to verdaccio! What’s the motivation behind the different license?

We don't want a 3rd party to make a business from selling our registry as a service. You can host the registry for free for your own needs. You can't sell it as a service.

Can you share more about how it's optimized for pnpm clients? And also how it's different from Verdaccio (faster b/c of Rust, optimized for pnpm, anything else)?

It is faster because it can do server side resolution. During resolution your client makes one request to the registry to get the lockfile instead of making thousands of requests for every package’s document.

I think "resilient to upstream outages" is the quiet headline here. every team that watched a critical package get stuck behind unresponsive npm support lately just felt this. And caching proxy you control means npm being down or blocking you stops being a single point of failure
