Gulp is a streaming build system and task runner for JavaScript projects. It provides a CLI and API to define and compose file transformation pipelines using code.
Use cases
- automate asset compilation such as CSS preprocessing and JavaScript bundling
- create custom build pipelines for web projects using JavaScript code
- watch source files and re-run tasks on changes during development
- integrate third‑party plugins to process images, fonts, or other assets
- replace manual command‑line steps with reusable, scripted tasks
When to choose
- you prefer writing build logic in JavaScript rather than configuration files
- your project already uses Node.js and you want a flexible, code‑first task runner
- you need a large ecosystem of plugins for file transformations
- you want fast, in‑memory streaming processing of files
When to avoid
- you require a declarative configuration language without writing code
- your build environment is not based on Node.js or JavaScript
- you need a highly opinionated, zero‑config build tool like Vite or Snowpack
