How are you building React applications? It's time to move on from Create React App

Vite

What about rolling your own? Most people that have only ever used CRA, Next.js, or similar tools will think that seems like a lot of work. In the past, it usually did require quite a bit of knowledge about webpack, so you aren't wrong. But tooling has come a long way, and tools like Parcel, NX, and Razzle have simplified the process. Even more recently, Vite has gained an ever-increasing market share.

esbuild

"Why?" you might ask. Vite is built on top of esbuild, a Go-based bundler for the web that is 10-100x faster than other bundlers such as webpack. Vite is also platform-agnostic, so you can learn the tool and use it for many applications.
