Vite Inside Out (with Matias "Patak" Capeletto)


Listen Later

Vite is amazing, I think we can all agree on that statement. But what is Vite actually!? Why is it so great, faster than webpack and the "de-facto standard of the web" already?

Alex is joined by Vite Core Team member Matias Capeletto, better known as Patak, to talk about all these questions.

Learn about the future of Vite, how it uses two bundlers under the hood and why almost every framework adopted it. Enjoy the episode!
