Research data CLI app size reduction #107

Closed anuveyatsu closed 6 years ago

anuveyatsu commented 6 years ago

Currently, our CLI app is 123MB - https://github.com/datahq/data-cli/releases/tag/v0.6.5 This is too large and may be crucial for some users wanting to download it. We want it to be at least below 100MB (this seems a break point for majority).

Acceptance criteria

[ ] CLI app's size is below 100MB

Tasks

[x] Research existing issues on github to see who else facing similar problem and find possible solutions [1h]
[x] Experiment with available options [2h]
[x] Select the best option and apply it in production (release) [0.5h]
