Using Hono through Bun inside a Node/Pnpm Monorepo
Hello,
I would like to use Hono inside our Turborepo project, but actually we are using
pnpm since many said that using bun are not stable enough. It's possible to use and deploy Hono on Bun under that context? I want to avoid the hono/node-server because it has some issues, and the ideal scenario would be able to deploy through Docker this hono instance (using turborepo prune feature).3 Replies
I’m unaware of any issues with Hono and node. You a use pnpm as a package manager along with Bun as well. Bun appears to be stable but does not has many features as Node yet. So the choice is really yours. For the most part you can switch between Bun and Node with very minimal code changes or even make a Node entry point and a Bun entry point
I just did the same thing today with an existing
pnpm /turbo monorepo. I swapped out hono/node-server with Bun without any problems at all. I just made sure to replace tsx watch index.ts with bun --watch index.ts in my package.json scripts.Personally I use Bun. It has everything I need for my applications. It's either Bun of CF Pages / Workers
