hi, we've been researching repo health across the open source ecosystem using a tool called repOptics. ran a scan on n8n and the overall profile is strong (B:80), but two things stood out: bloat scoring 55/100 and dependencies at 56/100. with 400+ integration nodes and 70+ CI workflows, n8n is clearly investing heavily in quality infrastructure. curious how the team thinks about the dependency surface area that comes with that many integrations. is there a triage cadence for dep updates across packages, or does the volume mostly flow through automated PRs?

TL;DR

Review and optimize dependencies to reduce bloat and improve the dependency score.

Guidance

  • Investigate the dependency tree to identify unnecessary or redundant dependencies that contribute to the bloat score.
  • Consider implementing a regular triage cadence for dependency updates to ensure timely reviews and approvals.
  • Explore automating PRs for dependency updates to streamline the process and reduce the volume of manual reviews.
