Reduce size of bundle / release #34016

Description

I've attempted to download the Windows binary as found at:

https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-6.7.0-windows-x86_64.zip

This leads to a 187MB zipped file. I attempted to unzip it and after 10 mins of it still running I gave up and moved onto a more "minimal" install version:

https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-oss-6.7.0-windows-x86_64.zip

This is now a 77MB file and has taken around 5 minutes to unzip and during that process I noticed it's re-created virutally every module in the npm registry in node_modules.

So long story short:

  • Is there any way the Kibana team can reduce the size of the bundle and improve the experience in getting up and running with Kibana quicker?
  • Is it really necessary to include everything under node_modules in a release?
