Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support beyond JavaScript

   The tool is primarily designed for JavaScript projects and lacks robust support for other languages, limiting its utility in polyglot environments.

2. 02

   Performance overhead during analysis

   Running the tool can introduce significant performance overhead, especially in large-scale applications with many dependencies, which may skew real-world performance metrics.

3. 03

   Complex setup for non-trivial projects

   Configuring the tool to work effectively with complex project structures or monorepos can be challenging and requires significant manual configuration.

4. 04

   Inconsistent results across different environments

   Performance metrics generated by the tool may vary significantly depending on the runtime environment, making it difficult to achieve consistent performance optimizations.

What it does well

• Identifies slow dependencies in your project.

• Provides insights into module performance impact.
