This chapter discusses the addition of a config file in JS to pass node options, overcoming limitations on arguments due to operating system restrictions. They mention the super-fast JSON library, SimJSON, for parsing the config file, and explain the advantages of using a separate config file for managing NPM scripts and instance-specific configurations. The chapter emphasizes the performance benefits of using a config file instead of a large package.json.
