- Drag and drop deployments
- Adding interoperabity between objects that live in different providers
- Providing a Next.js and React powered dashboard that can be deployed anywhere
## Why Ship a `pkg`-ed Binary?
- Simpler installation for non-Node users like those deploying [static files](https://zeit.co/blog/unlimited-static) or [Dockerfiles](https://zeit.co/blog/now-dockerfile).
- Consistency across platforms and installation mechanisms (`npm`, `brew` and manual scripts)
- Parsing and evaluation optimizations lead to a faster bootup time
- Easier installation in automation environments (like CI systems)
- Increased safety by providing a unified signature mechanism for releases
- We're able to select our own Node version of choice and can take advantage of the latest features
## Caught a Bug?
1. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) this repository to your own GitHub account and then [clone](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/) it to your local device
2. Link the package to the global module directory: `npm run link` (not `npm link`)
3. You can now start using `now` from the command line!
As always, you can use `npm test` to run the tests and see if your changes have broken anything.
