Rspack 2.1 has been released, delivering a Rust‑implemented React Compiler that runs 7‑13× faster than the previous Babel version, overall production builds that are about 16% quicker, HMR improvements of roughly 5%, and a host of new features such as import.meta.glob support, createRequire parsing, magic comments, source‑phase imports, automatic cache cleanup, plus ecosystem updates for TanStack RSC, Rsbuild, Rslib, Rstest, Rslint, Rspress, Rsdoctor and rspack‑merge.
Bun now runs the React Compiler directly in Rust via a simple build flag, eliminating the Babel plugin layer and achieving nearly 20‑times faster build times on large React codebases while automatically applying memoisation optimisations.
@utoo/pack, the Rust‑based frontend bundler built on Turbopack, delivers 3‑10× faster cold starts and hundred‑fold HMR speed versus webpack, offers seamless webpack compatibility, integrates with Umi, Father, Dumi, and provides detailed architecture, usage guides, and real‑world performance data from Ant Group projects.
Rolldown 1.0, a Rust‑rewritten JavaScript bundler that fully mimics Rollup's API, is now the default engine in Vite 8, delivering 10‑30× speed gains, real‑world build‑time reductions of up to 64%, seamless plugin compatibility, and a roadmap of new features while relying heavily on the Vite ecosystem.
Five years after v5, Ant Design Pro v6.0.0 embraces React 19, antd 6, Turbopack‑based utoopack, Tailwind and CSS‑in‑JS, adds an AI assistant built on Ant Design X, moves demo APIs to Cloudflare Workers, and delivers roughly a 42% reduction in production build time.
Vite 8 replaces the dual esbuild‑Rollup engine with the Rust‑based Rolldown, unifies the toolchain with Oxc, delivers up to 8× faster builds (e.g., 46 s → 6 s on Linear), drops Babel, adds native TypeScript path alias, decorator metadata, built‑in devtools, and other new features.
This guide explains what mvnd is, how to download and install it, configure Maven and environment variables, fix PowerShell encoding issues, and presents a detailed performance comparison showing multi‑module builds can be up to 5.5× faster than using traditional Maven.
Learn how Maven‑mvnd accelerates Java project builds by keeping a persistent daemon, reducing JVM startup overhead, lowering CPU and memory usage, and offering seamless migration from Maven, with detailed installation, configuration, usage steps, and a speed comparison against traditional Maven builds.
Maven‑mvnd introduces a long‑running daemon, GraalVM native binaries, and seamless Maven compatibility to cut JVM startup overhead, lower CPU/memory use, and accelerate multi‑module builds, offering a low‑risk path to faster Java project compilation.
Rspack 1.5 introduces experimental lazy‑barrel support, a native Rust file‑watcher, browser‑ready builds, Rust‑based plugins, constant and enum inlining, type‑reexport analysis, a built‑in virtual‑module system, module‑federation runtime boosts, install‑size reductions, seal‑stage speedups, and a host of ecosystem updates such as dropping Node 16, stabilizing lazy compilation, and new releases for Rslint, Rsbuild, Rslib, Rspress, Rsdoctor, and Rstest.
Tailwind CSS 4.0 introduces a dramatically faster Oxide build engine, new CSS capabilities like cascade layers and Oklch colors, Vite‑optimized tooling, and stricter browser requirements, while offering a simple import‑based setup and detailed migration guidance for developers.
This article demonstrates how to migrate the open‑source Excalidraw drawing application from Webpack to the Rust‑based Rspack bundler, covering repository cloning, dependency installation, Rspack initialization, Sass, HTML plugin, environment variable handling, static asset copying, performance comparison, and the use of react‑scripts‑rspack for automated migration.
This article explains why the Transform API is deprecated in AGP 7.0, introduces the new AsmClassVisitorFactory‑based API, compares code examples, discusses performance benefits and drawbacks, and provides guidance for migrating Android Gradle plugins to the newer variant and artifact system.
An in‑depth comparison of Maven, Gradle, and the Maven Daemon (mvnd) examines their features, configuration differences, and real‑world build performance on Spring Boot projects, revealing that Gradle delivers the fastest packaging times while offering simpler, more readable build scripts.
This article investigates why large Android projects experience extremely slow AAR publishing, reveals that memory is not the main bottleneck, examines Gradle’s core scheduling, Worker API, lock contention, and measurement inaccuracies, and proposes disabling Worker API to achieve up to fifteen‑fold build speed improvements.
mvnd, an Apache Maven subproject built on Gradle and Takari, extends Maven to dramatically speed up builds—up to 300% faster in multi‑module projects—while offering simple installation, environment configuration, and seamless migration from existing Maven settings, making it a powerful tool for developers seeking faster builds.
San CLI 4.0 introduces a re‑architected command system, decoupled configuration, Webpack 5 support, TypeScript and ESM build options, and a series of performance tweaks that together improve flexibility, reduce bundle size, and speed up both development and production builds.
This article details the practical upgrade from Webpack 4 to Webpack 5 in the Penguin Tutor H5 project, presenting build‑time comparisons, bundle‑size reductions, and in‑depth analysis of new features such as persistent caching, deterministic IDs, removed Node polyfills, enhanced tree‑shaking, and Module Federation, while also sharing common pitfalls and solutions.
Spring Boot’s 2.3.0 release marked a major shift from Maven to Gradle, driven by the need to reduce build times, leverage incremental and parallel builds, and improve CI efficiency, resulting in average build times dropping from over an hour to just over nine minutes.
