Update: reduced @rspack/dev-server deps from 193 → 8, install size from 14.9 MB → 4.1 MB.

npm supply chain attacks keep happening and keeping deps minimal makes me feel safer.

Some recent Rspack benchmark trends.

Rspack 2.0 work is helping improve performance steadily⚡️

- Upgrade to Rspack v2: v2.rspack.rs/guide/migrat...
- Upgrade to Rsbuild v2: v2.rsbuild.rs/guide/upgrad...

We’re getting close ⏳

Rspack 2.0 and Rsbuild 2.0 are landing next month.

Beta is already out. give it a try and share your early feedback with us.

Rstack could offer a unified toolchain experience similar to Vite Plus as well, and huge respect to the Vite Plus team for exploring that direction.

We haven’t pursued that path for now, mainly because we worry about a few tradeoffs:

AI - Rspack Fast Rust-based web bundler

New doc added: Rspack + AI 🤖: rspack.rs/guide/start/ai

Learn how to use coding agents to set up and work with Rspack projects more efficiently.

Working on modernizing Rspack dev server.

No longer tied to webpack-dev-server compatibility. Dependencies are updated and unnecessary ones removed.

Early progress:

📉 Direct deps: 28 → 9
📉 Transitive deps: 193 → 76
📉 Install size: 14.9MB -> 9.9MB

Rspack just hit 4M weekly downloads.

Vibe coding is helping dev tools grow faster. 🚀

Great to see Tailwind CSS shipping an official @tailwindcss/webpack package 👏

It’s implemented as a webpack loader, which means it works in Rspack and Turbopack as well.

Big shoutout to @timneutkens.bsky.social for making this happen 🙌

Smaller Module Federation bundles are here!

Rspack 2.0 supports tree-shaking for shared code 🔥

Nice! Also remember to like @rspack.dev on @npmx.dev! 😊 I got the first like! Again thanks for your great work!

Rsbuild 2.0 beta cuts dependencies from 13 → 4, MF runtime is now an optional peer dependency ✨

Meteor.js 3.4 with @rspack.dev is out! 🚀

4x faster builds. 50% smaller bundles. Tree shaking, full ESM support, and HMR.

Rspack + RSC is now prototyped in the 2.0 alpha. We're continuing to iterate on stability and docs 🔧

In Rsbuild 2.0.0-alpha.0, install size is 2.3 MB smaller by removing the CJS build and making core-js optional.

We'll keep trimming it down ✂️

Rstack Q1 roadmap 💡

• Rspack 2.0 beta
• Rsbuild 2.0 beta
• Rspress 2.0 stable
• Rstack Skills
• RSC support
• Rstest browser mode
• Faster persistent cache
• ESLint compatibility in Rslint
• Tree-shaking analysis in Rsdoctor

Rspack and Rsbuild core packages are now pure ESM.

Already merged, will be released in v2 🌟

We just added @tailwindcss.com as an optional tool in create-rsbuild ❤️

Rstest → SWC core 🎉

2.3s →1.7s (35% faster than Jest)

Announcing Rspack 1.7 - Rspack Fast Rust-based web bundler

Rspack 1.7 is out 🎉

The final minor release of the 1.x series, focused on stability and polish.

Next stop. Rspack 2.0 in 2026 🦀

rspack.rs/blog/announc...

⏰ Rspack 1.7 is coming tomorrow.

The last minor release before 2.0.

In the next release, Rsbuild's error overlay can now show runtime errors.

When your app throws at runtime, the error appears instantly in the overlay, helping you locate problems sooner.

Opt in using `dev.client.overlay.runtime = true`.

The SWC parser is now 65% faster than 6 months ago and 104% faster than a year ago🚀

Huge kudos to @kdy1.bsky.social and @c_punisher 👏
