Vite - The Project Propulsion Engine

At NOVA LAB we use the most advanced tools. Vite is our "propulsion engine" - it compiles code faster than a rocket reaching first cosmic velocity!

What is Vite?

Vite (a French word meaning "fast") is a next-generation build tool. Created by Evan You - the same creator as Vue.js.

Why is Vite so fast?

1. Native ES Modules - serves files directly, no bundling in dev
2. Hot Module Replacement - changes visible in milliseconds
3. esbuild - compilation 10-100x faster than old tools
