About

Next-generation frontend build tool offering instant server start via native ES modules and lightning-fast hot module replacement for modern web development.

Overview

Vite has become the de-facto standard build tool for modern frontend development, replacing webpack in most new projects across React, Vue, Svelte, and Solid ecosystems. Its native ESM-based dev server delivers near-instant startup regardless of project size. The primary gotcha is subtle differences between development and production behavior that can surface hard-to-debug issues.
