Aiming to enhance the developer experience, the team behind the TypeScript SDK for Dagger successfully reduced initialization times from 20-30 seconds to approximately 11 seconds by implementing a series of optimizations. Initially, the SDK’s lengthy initialization was due to dependency management and installation across various runtime environments and package managers, which often led to conflicts and performance inconsistencies. The developers experimented with different package managers and improved caching but found these measures insufficient. The significant breakthrough came from bundling the entire SDK, reducing its size from about 155 MB to 4.5 MB, which streamlined dependency management and minimized initialization times. This approach, although sacrificing some flexibility, resulted in a more efficient and user-friendly experience for developers who frequently invoke Dagger modules during software development.
