esbuild

esbuild changed the industry by proving that build tools could be 100x faster if written in Go/Rust. It is not just a bundler but a transpiler.

When to Use

• Ultra-Fast JavaScript/TypeScript Bundling: Compiling and bundling web applications 10x-100x faster than Webpack or Rollup.
• Underlying Bundling Engine for Modern Tools: Powering Vite, AWS CDK, and serverless deployment packagers.
• High-Speed Code Minification: Minifying JS and CSS bundles in CI/CD pipelines with minimal memory overhead.
• Custom Build Scripts via Go/JS API: Orchestrating complex builds, asset copying, and source map generation programmatically.
