Is there certain limit to the number of dependencies used in a project?

Is there a certain limit to the number of libraries that developers use in big projects? Any sensible number that experts tend not to exceed? Do professional developers use only native solutions in relatively big projects?

There's no limit. You can have as many dependencies as you want. The only drawback is the project size. It gets bigger with each new dependency.

The number of dependencies doesn't affect performance.

Igor Makarsky meaning that maintenance might become an issue? How about the performance? Is there any correlation between the number of dependencies and performance?
