Create React App (CRA) was a popular tool for initializing React projects since 2016, but has now been deprecated as of February 2025. The React team is promoting newer, more efficient alternatives such as Vite and Parcel due to CRA's outdated build system, which relies on webpack. The deprecation is influenced by CRA's slow performance during builds and bundling, lack of modern features like server-side rendering, and other limitations that hinder development workflow and application performance.
Create React App's deprecation marks a pivotal shift as developers are urged to explore newer, faster alternatives for React applications, enhancing efficiency and performance.
