Webpack

Webpack is a module bundler. Its main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser, yet it is also capable of transforming, bundling, or packaging just about any resource or asset.

Esbuild is a JS and TS bundler that promises ultra-fast build times. We use webpack, and there is support to leverage esbuild with esbuild-loader.

React

A JavaScript library for building user interfaces

In the project I'm currently working with, we have a platform split between a single-page React app and a Next.js SSR website. The development server runs both in the same machine, using containers, but it has only one processor core and 2 GB of RAM.

Purgecss

Easily remove unused CSS
Pricing:
- Open Source
This has the benefit of not only reducing the load on the parser, but also generating a much smaller CSS file by default, even without minification: a drop from 17.2 MB to 461 KiB before PurgeCSS for the SPA, and from 110 KiB to 1.34 KiB for the Next.js website.

PostCSS

Increase code readability. Add vendor prefixes to CSS rules using values from Can I Use. Autoprefixer will use the data based on current browser popularity and property support to apply prefixes for you.
Pricing:
- Open Source
The big issue with Tailwind is that it pulls a huge amount of CSS classes into the parser, in the form of a 3.6 MB CSS file - or 6.0 MB if you enable dark mode. This is heavy on PostCSS, uses a lot of memory (our server would frequently trigger OOM kills).
