Farm is an extremely fast, Vite-compatible web build tool and bundler written in Rust that compiles JS/JSX/TS/TSX, CSS, HTML, JSON, and static assets into deployable bundles, with a built-in dev server offering millisecond cold starts and sub-10ms HMR updates. It ships official Rust and JavaScript plugins for React, Vue, Solid, and Sass/Less/PostCSS, supports Vite plugins directly, and provides persistent incremental compilation plus flexible partial bundling so development and production output stay consistent.
Use cases
- speed up builds of a large webpack project
- find a fast Vite alternative written in Rust
- scaffold a React or Vue project with instant HMR
- bundle a TypeScript frontend app for production
- fix slow dev server refreshes with thousands of modules
- keep dev and production builds consistent
- control how bundles are split for better caching
When to choose
- Your large web project takes minutes to build with webpack and HMR updates take tens of seconds
- You want Vite-style dev server, HMR, and plugin ergonomics backed by Rust-native speed and persistent module-level caching
- You need flexible, fine-grained bundle splitting without losing caching granularity
- You value identical behavior between development and production builds to simplify debugging
When to avoid
- You depend on deeply webpack-specific loaders or plugins that cannot map to Rollup/Vite-style hooks
- You are bundling non-web targets such as native binaries or backend-only libraries
- Your team requires the most battle-tested, mature ecosystem for a critical legacy build pipeline
- You are starting a tiny project where migrating to a newer build tool is not worth the effort
