At BearStudio, Vite is the tool that powers our development environment and builds our applications for production. We use it under the hood through TanStack Start as well as directly on simpler projects.
Before Vite, it was Webpack — a powerful tool but heavy to configure and slow in practice. Switching to Vite changed our daily workflow: a nearly instant development server, much shorter build times, and straightforward setup. Less waiting, more building.
Vite’s other strength is its community. A massive plugin ecosystem, clear documentation, and solutions that are easy to find when issues come up. It has become an industry standard, and that’s exactly the kind of foundation we like to build on.
