bun installs are fast, but I think they might be so fast and concurrent they cause npm to really get confused sometimes.

I end up hitting 500s from npm from time to time installing by bun and I just don't know why.

Really wish the norm was that companies hosted their own registries for their own usage, so I could justify the expense and effort instead of dealing with registries being half busted kinda randomly.

Is this not the norm? I've never worked anywhere that didn't use/host their own registry - both for hosting private packages, but also as a caching proxy to the public registry (and therefore more control over availability, security policy)

https://verdaccio.org/ is my go to self hosted solution, but the cloud providers have managed solutions and there's also jFrog Artifactory.

One corollary of this is that many commercial usages of packages don't contribute much to download stats, as often they download each version at most once.
