Vite - the new kid on the block

Vite, the new kid on the block. Why is it here and what does it do?
Vite is an amazing tool that has the potential to streamline the traditionally sluggish task of bundling modules in JavaScript, but it also comes with some losses.

Vite is able to take care of about 90% of the configuration tasks normally involved when using NPM, Gulp, Rollup, Parcel, etc. The usage is very convenient on new projects, but the integration of such a brand new tool in existing projects comes with its drawbacks.

During this session we will look at the technology that drives Vite. What makes Vite an opinionated development tool and how does it compare to other builders? We will try to openly discuss this movement and how we can all benefit from it.

In this session, Sjoerd and Dennis will provide a deep dive into Vite. They both have real life experiences using Vite at two major clients. But there are some conflicting feelings about this tool, especially when integrating and using it extensively.

What will this MeetUp bring you?
On one hand will this session provide insights into Vite and the lessons learned, and on the other hand will be an open discussion on this subject, as there are many pros and cons.
