I asked Michael Dawson, IBM Node.js Community Lead at IBM and the Node.js community Board representative, OpenJS Board of Directors, to dig into key Node.js topics to find out the state of package quality, making developing Node containerised apps for the cloud easier, and what Node events, as a long time member of the Node community, are coming up that are best suited for people digging into these problems.
There are a great number of packages available through the repositories and package management sites (for example npm and github). There are different levels of quality, support available and people are concerned about, issues with dependencies. What can be done to address this for Node users and the maintainers of those packages?
