esbuild-deploy

esbuild-deploy is a zero-config CLI tool that bundles Node.js applications for deployment using esbuild, eliminating the need to ship node_modules. It automatically detects ESM or CJS module systems from package.json fields (type, main, module), and produces minimal bundles in a deploy/ directory. Version 1.0.1 is the latest stable release, with types included. Key differentiators: automatic esbuild configuration, no manual setup, and compatibility injection for ESM/CJS interop. Part of a beta-then-1.0 transition with several beta releases prior.
