Hi there!

Thank you for dropping by. BigchainDB is open source project that has many moving parts. We try to allocate time to each issue and feature request but sometimes we run out of time or the problem is out of our maintainers expertise reach. To combat this problem we add bounties to issues / features. this is our way of saying Thanks for your contribution to our cause.

We will try to help you help us getting this issue closed. But, if for some reason you would not be able to work on this bounty, please see our Gitcoin profile for our other open bounties. We would also encourage you to watch this repo as we are planning more upcoming bounties and we would love to have your contributions.

How can you help?

We are looking for some help to minimize the size of our javascript driver to < 1MB. We investigated the cause of size bloating for this driver and found that one of the dependencies crypto-conditions takes up quite some size. Bad thing is we only use a fraction of its code base. So, one of the optimisation strategy, we believe would be to somehow bundle only the used code. This may either be achieved by updating configurations in webpack 4 or feel free to be creative and propose alternate solutions. Our end goal is to optimise the size of the driver to less than 1 MB and you are free to use other means to optimise the size without breaking the build and tests.

What needs to be done?

  • Refactor code base to reduce the size of the driver to less than 1MB

We are very happy when -

Seen this problem before ?
