Introducing Mako, a lightning-fast web bundler built on Rust designed for Web Apps, Libraries, and Frameworks. Its key features include zero configuration ease (supporting JS/TS files with TS, Less, CSS modules more), production reliability used in hundreds of projects by Ant Group and others, blazing speed due to Rust core logic and NodeJS workers parallelism for file compilation.
Mako offers Hot Module Replacement (HMR) allowing real-time code updates without page refreshes and seamless integration with React Fast Refresh. It supports Code Splitting to reduce initial bundle sizes, faster load times, and customizable behavior through configs. Additionally, it features Module Concatenation for optimized size reduction and runtime efficiency similar to Webpack’s implementation.
Benchmark results show Mako outperforming other Rust bundlers like Rsbuild and Farm as well as Vite and Webpack in various scenarios such as Cold Start Root HMR, Leaf HMR, Cold Build etc., proving its speed advantage. Notable users include Ant Group itself, Ant Design, UmiJS among others.
