Vite 8 replaces esbuild and Rollup with Rolldown, delivering much faster builds while keeping the existing Vite plugin API compatible.
Rolldown, a new JavaScript/TypeScript bundler written in Rust, has emerged from VoidZero, the maintainers of projects such as Vite. Rolldown offers a high performance alternative to conventional bundlers with full compatibility for the Rollup plugin ecosystem. Designed as the next logical step for modern build workflows, Rolldown promises significant build time improvements while retaining familiar plugin interfaces. Rolldown was designed primarily to be the underlying bundler within Vite to replace the existing Vite dependencies of esbuild and Rollup.
