Vite is a fast, opinionated build tool and development server for modern web projects. It provides instant server start, lightning‑fast HMR, and optimized production builds.

Use cases

  • Start a development server with instant hot module replacement for a React or Vue app
  • Bundle a TypeScript project for production with tree‑shaking and minification
  • Add custom plugins to extend the build pipeline for CSS, WASM, or other assets
  • Create a server‑side rendered (SSR) application with minimal configuration
  • Migrate a legacy Webpack project to a faster, more lightweight tool

When to choose

  • You need ultra‑fast startup and HMR during development
  • Your project uses native ES modules and modern JavaScript/TypeScript
  • You want a flexible plugin system compatible with Rollup plugins
  • You require built‑in support for SSR or static site generation
  • You prefer a tool with strong TypeScript typings and active community

When to avoid

  • Your build must run on older browsers that lack ES module support
  • You need a monolithic, all‑in‑one solution like Webpack for complex legacy setups
  • You require deep integration with non‑JavaScript languages or platforms
  • You need a build tool that ships with a large set of pre‑configured loaders out of the box
