Replit· 28 AprWhy We Switched From Webpack To Vite
Replit replaced Webpack with Vite for faster React development.
Replit switched its React template from Create React App and Webpack to Vite, a JavaScript build tool that provides faster development through pre-bundling dependencies with esbuild and serving source code over native ES Modules.
The change resulted in significantly faster hot module replacement and build times, enabling quicker prototyping and development on the platform.
