Distribution

[ PROPOSAL ]

Strawman, please poke holes.

The Problem

Teams need access to the Constellation components

Back in the Day

  • Library code was distributed via CDN
  • ✅ Takes advantage of cache hits between sites
  • ✅ Works in any tech stack (no bundling needed)
  • 🚫 All or nothing (no tree shaking)

Modern Day

  • Library code is bundled in with the application
  • ✅ No reliance on 3rd party servers
  • ✅ Import only the code that is needed
  • 🚫 No cache benefits for common assets
  • 🚫 Frontend build process required
