Discussion on: "No Config" Bundling with Parcel

@Anna, amazing post.

Part of our frontend team has used parcelbundler the last 6 months and it is fantastic.
But also has some cons that I will list below:

The generated file has a very high weight compared to a webpack configuration.

The CPU consumption at the time of generating the bundler often exceeds our allocated CPU for our continuous integration processes, which generates failures. This can be solved by using another packer for the continuous integration process, but the ideal would be to continue using parcelbundler.

Until recently I did not have support for source maps, currently it already has, which allows us to use sentry to monitor errors (Sentry requires sourcemaps to be able to track them).

Thank you for this! This is exactly the kind of detailed context I don't have when folks ask me about using it in production. Fantastic! I'm going to share this with my team.
