Improve How We Get Node Binaries #791

@designatednerd

Description

@designatednerd

As (extensively) discussed in #766, including the binaries for codegen in the repo will bloat the repo over the long term. While this is better than Node Hell, it's still not great as a long-term solution.

We need to evaluate a few of the suggested ideas for this, including:

  • A separate GH repo which can be added as an SPM/Carthage/Pod dependency (concern: Is this just moving the repo bloat problem to another repo people have to download anyway?)
  • Downloading from an artifact repository, like an S3 bucket (concern: What happens when users can't connect to that bucket after installation, killing their entire build?)
  • Downloading from GH releases (concern: How can we test this before a new version is released?)
