## What it is
Rsbuild is a fast, extensible build tool for modern web applications, powered by the Rust-based Rspack bundler. It provides zero-configuration setup, a lightweight plugin system compatible with webpack and Rspack plugins, and framework-agnostic support for React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, and Preact.

## Use cases
- build a React or Vue web app with zero configuration
- replace webpack with a faster bundler without rewriting plugins
- set up a dev server with hot module replacement for a frontend project
- migrate a Create React App or Vue CLI project to a modern build tool
- configure SSR and multi-environment builds for a web application
- optimize production bundle size and code splitting
- compile TypeScript and CSS with fast Rust-based tooling
- build a library or UI component with a shared toolchain

## When to choose
- you want webpack-like capabilities with dramatically faster build and dev-server performance
- you need out-of-the-box support for React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, or Preact
- you want simple, semantic configuration instead of hand-rolling webpack config
- you rely on existing webpack or Rspack plugins and want compatibility
- you need built-in handling of polyfills, syntax downgrading, and artifact stability

## When to avoid
- your project is deeply tied to Vite-specific plugins or ecosystem conventions
- you need a static site generator or documentation site builder - use Rspress instead
- you are building a Node.js backend or CLI tool rather than a web frontend
- you require exotic webpack loaders with no Rspack equivalent
- your team depends on tooling outside the Rstack ecosystem and migration cost outweighs speed gains
