What happens in the case of parallel writes?

First, thank you @Remitly for this great verdaccio extension package.

I'm curious if there is some mitigation or strategy in place? I.e. if multiple ~hosts~ workers are running verdaccio and two hosts try to write to the bucket for npm publish and there is a file collision.

We don't have a mitigation strategy for that. We run verdaccio as a single instance so it hasn't been an issue. The main place I can see potential problems is writing to a package's package.json file. .tar.gz files should be safe to overwrite.

Thanks for the quick response. My hope / guess is that writes are so much less common than reads that this shouldn't matter.
