Question: availability for production use. #49

Homepage clearly states Not for Production but the reason mentioned behind it is

These workflows are intended for development only as serving 100's or even 1000's of modules is not suitable for production.

Is there any other drawback while using https://unsafe-production.jspm.io for production than huge number of requests? Primarily around availability and cache / wrong path resolution aspects. I am interested in using it for production because then I can serve systemjs, es build and importmap without handling multiple builds. Although above issues are still the concerns.

The CDN server itself is very much optimized and available for production, the concern is exactly just that most published packages aren't optimized. The hope is to eventually get to a place where they are though indeed.

Thanks for clarifying. I will take it as yes for production use from CDN (availability mainly) perspective. Dependency optimization and tree is responsibility of end users.

Exactly.
