Production build performance lags behind native bundlers

6

Vite's reliance on Rollup for production builds is slower than native alternatives like esbuild or Bun, creating a performance gap between dev (esbuild) and prod (Rollup) experiences.

Overlapping dependencies with redundant transformation tooling

6

Vite relies on multiple third-party dependencies with overlapping duties (esbuild, Rollup, SWC) that are written in different languages, creating efficiency problems when passing data between tools and introducing inconsistent behavior.
