Sure. But everything is relative. For instance, Node has much more likelihood of long term stability than Bun, given its ownership.

Given how many more dependencies you need to build/maintain a Node app, your Bun application has a better chance of long term stability.

With Node almost everything is third party (db driver, S3, router, etc) and the vast majority of NPM deps have dozens if not hundreds of deps.
