This command line interface enables you to package your Node.js project into an executable that can be run even on devices without Node.js installed. Make a commercial version of your application without sources. Make a demo/evaluation/trial version of your app without sources. Instantly make executables for other platforms (cross-compilation). Make some kind of self-extracting archive or installer. No need to install Node.js and npm to run the packaged application. No need to download hundreds of files via npm install to deploy your application. Deploy it as a single file. Put your assets inside the executable to make it even more portable. Test your app against new Node.js version without installing it. pkg was created for use within containers and is not intended for use in serverless environments. For those using ZEIT Now, this means that there is no requirement to use pkg in your projects as the benefits it provides are not applicable to the platform.
