# Introduction

Bluebird is a fully featured promise library with focus on innovative features and performance

See the bluebird website for further documentation, references and instructions. See the API reference here.

For bluebird 2.x documentation and files, see the 2.x tree.

### Note

Promises in Node.js 10 are significantly faster than before. Bluebird still includes a lot of features like cancellation, iteration methods and warnings that native promises don't. If you are using Bluebird for performance rather than for those - please consider giving native promises a shot and running the benchmarks yourself.

# Questions and issues

The github issue tracker is **_only_** for bug reports and feature requests. Anything else, such as questions for help in using the library, should be posted in StackOverflow under tags `promise` and `bluebird`.

## Thanks

Thanks to BrowserStack for providing us with a free account which lets us support old browsers like IE8.
