Bun seems really compelling. I tried it out for a couple of small example projects and I like the speed and the fact that it combines package management and a JS runtime. However, I use Dependabot on most of my serious projects. I know work is under way, or at least there is some discussion in a couple of repo issues, for Bun support in Dependabot. I'm kind of holding off on using it until support for it has been rolled out.
We had the same reticence about Dependabot missing before we made the switch, but realised Renovate works with Bun and is a good enough stand in for now until support arrives.
Absolutely zero regrets, the cumulative savings across everything that is faster and the massive step up in DX is worthy of the hype.
Yeah, I had heard about Renovate supporting Bun. I guess I was reluctant to start working with another 3rd party dependency management system when I already knew how to setup and use Dependabot, and I assumed Bun support was coming soon-ish. But maybe the benefits of moving over to Renovate and getting to use Bun now outweighs the costs. <thinking-about-it>
