  • The size of the code is mostly irrelevant if you’re not shipping it to clients over the network on every request. Short of truly gargantuan statically-linked binaries in compiled languages, anyway, and bundling isn’t really an applicable concept there. And similarly, the overhead of loading modules from the filesystem is a one-time cost that’s mostly irrelevant for server-side code that runs for days or weeks or years at a time.

    On the other hand, the complexity overhead of adding the additional bundling step is a major drag on development productivity, debuggability, etc.
