About Vite
Vite (French for "fast") is a next-generation frontend build tool that dramatically improves the developer experience for modern web projects. Created by Evan You (the creator of Vue.js), it has become the standard build tool for React, Vue, Svelte, and other frontend frameworks.
In development, Vite serves files using native ESM, meaning it doesn't bundle your code — the browser loads modules on demand. This gives near-instant server start times regardless of project size, and Hot Module Replacement (HMR) that updates in milliseconds. Traditional webpack-based setups slow down as your project grows; Vite does not.
For production builds, Vite uses Rollup (pre-configured for tree-shaking, code splitting, and asset optimization). The plugin ecosystem is huge and compatible with Rollup plugins. Vite also powers Vitest, a Jest-compatible test runner, keeping the entire toolchain fast.
