About:
esbuild is an extremely fast JavaScript bundler and minifier written in Go. It packages up JavaScript and TypeScript code for deployment to production environments. Its primary value proposition is performance, offering 10-100x faster builds compared to older bundlers like Webpack or Rollup.
Key Features:
  • Extreme speed (10-100x faster than alternatives)
  • Native support for TypeScript and JSX
  • Zero-config defaults with extensive API options
  • Parallel processing leveraging multiple CPU cores
Use Cases:
  • Bundling modern web applications for production
  • Speeding up development server build times
  • Compiling TypeScript/JSX to vanilla JavaScript
Alternatives:
  • webpack – Webpack is highly configurable but significantly slower due to its JavaScript-based plugin architecture.
  • rollup – Rollup excels at library bundling and tree-shaking but is generally slower than esbuild for application builds.
