Rsbuild

rsbuild.rs

Rstack build tool on Rspack with sensible defaults for React and modern web apps.

Overview

Rsbuild is a modern build tool for web applications powered by Rspack, a fast Rust-based bundler. It combines the performance benefits of Rust with TypeScript through a parallelized architecture, delivering significantly faster build times compared to traditional tools like Webpack and Vite.

The tool comes with batteries included—out-of-the-box integration with practical building features, framework-agnostic support for React, Vue, Svelte and more, and automatic optimization of static assets for production. It features a lightweight plugin system, zero-configuration setup with full configurability, and an intuitive API for developers.
