vite — v8.1.5
A build tool and dev server for modern web projects. Starts instantly (no bundling in dev), uses native ES modules in the browser, and bundles with Rollup for production. The replacement for webpack in most new projects.
esbuild — v0.28.1
A JavaScript and TypeScript bundler written in Go. Extremely fast — 10-100x faster than webpack or Rollup. Used as the engine inside Vite and many other tools. Good for simple bundling; less configurable than webpack.
turbo — v2.10.7
A build system for JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos. Caches task results so you only re-run what changed. Built by Vercel. Speeds up CI and local builds in large codebases with multiple packages.
biome — v0.3.3
A single tool that replaces both ESLint and Prettier. Formats and lints JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, and CSS. Written in Rust, so it runs much faster than the JS-based tools it replaces.
bun — v1.3.14
A JavaScript runtime, package manager, bundler, and test runner in one. Faster than Node.js at most things. Drop-in compatible with most Node.js code. Written in Zig.
vitest — v4.1.10
A unit testing framework built specifically for Vite projects. Uses the same config as your Vite build, runs tests in the browser environment, and is significantly faster than Jest.
oxc — v1.0.1
A JavaScript/TypeScript toolchain written in Rust — parser, linter, formatter, transpiler, bundler. The project behind the oxlint linter. Faster than most existing tools by a large margin.
rspack — v0.1.1
