How do workspaces differ between Bun and pnpm?

Pnpm requires a separate pnpm-workspace.yaml file. In contrast, Bun defines workspaces directly within the 'workspaces' field of your root package.json, simplifying the configuration.

When should I use Bun instead of pnpm?

Use Bun when you need faster installation times and local script execution. Prefer pnpm for production stability, legacy Node.js API reliance, or environments like Expo/EAS and Vercel that have limited Bun support.

Can I use Bun and Node.js in the same project?

Yes, a hybrid setup is often recommended. You can use Bun for fast-starting internal CLI tools and build scripts, while keeping pnpm/Node.js for the main production application to ensure maximum stability.

Is Bun fully compatible with all Node.js APIs?

Bun aims for high compatibility but some Node.js APIs may behave differently or are not yet implemented. It is essential to test critical I/O or child_process logic before fully migrating a production runtime.
