Projects using [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) can now be deployed to Vercel with zero configuration. Vercel is also now sponsoring pnpm to further package manager innovation.

Like Yarn and npm, pnpm is a package manager focused on saving disk space and [boosting installation speed](https://pnpm.io/benchmarks) by utilizing symlinks. Starting today, Projects that contain a `pnpm-lock.yaml` file will automatically run `pnpm install` as the default [Install Command](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/deployments/build-step#install-command) using the latest version of pnpm.
