Browserify vs Verdaccio: What are the differences?
Developers describe Browserify as "Browser-side require() the node.js way". Browserify lets you require('modules') in the browser by bundling up all of your dependencies. On the other hand, Verdaccio is detailed as "A lightweight private npm proxy registry". A simple, zero-config-required local private npm registry. Comes out of the box with its own tiny database, and the ability to proxy other registries (eg. npmjs.org), caching the downloaded modules along the way.
Browserify and Verdaccio can be primarily classified as "Front End Package Manager" tools.
Browserify and Verdaccio are both open source tools. Browserify with 12.8K GitHub stars and 1.12K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Verdaccio with 7.19K GitHub stars and 656 GitHub forks.
