Why we switched from Webpack to Vite

Vite is a JavaScript build tool that provides a fast and lean development experience. Vite comes with a number of features including HMR, or Hot Module Replacement, a build command that bundles your tools with Rollup, and built-in support for TypeScript and JSX.

How it works

Vite works by treating your source code and your dependencies differently. Unlike your source code, dependencies don’t change nearly as often during development. Vite takes advantage of this fact by pre-bundling your dependencies using esbuild. Esbuild is a JS bundler written in Go that bundles dependencies 10-100x faster than JavaScript based alternatives like Webpack and Parcel.
