PACKMAN

An Expert Infographic on Advanced NodeJS Project Modernization

The NodeJS Maintenance Maze

The dynamic NodeJS ecosystem presents constant maintenance challenges. Outdated packages, security risks, and "dependency hell" can slow development and compromise stability. Without intelligent tooling, navigating this landscape is a complex, manual, and often frustrating process.

The Manual Update Cycle

1. Run `npm outdated`
2. Guess an update & install
3. Run tests... they fail!
4. Manually revert changes
5. Repeat for another package?

Quantifying the Pain

75%

of projects have dependencies with known security vulnerabilities.

40%

of developer time can be spent on maintenance and technical debt.

PACKMAN: Your Intelligent Guide

PACKMAN transforms maintenance from a chore into a strategy. It analyzes your entire project to provide a clear, safe, and efficient path to modernization.

1. True Node.js Compatibility

PACKMAN scans every dependency to calculate the actual supported Node.js version range, instantly revealing which packages are holding your project back.

2. At-a-Glance Dependency Health

A color-coded system gives you an immediate overview of your project's dependencies, allowing you to prioritize what needs attention.

Status Dependency Current Version Health
react18.2.0Up to date
lodash4.17.20Near latest
old-request-lib0.9.5Critically Legacy
express4.17.1Older version

3. Safe Updates & Smart Alternatives

For problematic packages, PACKMAN shows you what's possible. It offers only fully compatible updates and can even suggest modern alternatives that replace multiple dependencies.
