# Vite

A front-end build tool providing instant dev server startup, fast hot module replacement, and optimized production builds for modern JavaScript projects.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → substitute to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** A frontend developer evaluating Vercel's cloud offering could instead use Vite as a self-hosted or locally-run build tool that eliminates the need for a cloud-based build and deploy pipeline.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Instant Server Start

> Lightning Fast HMR

> Optimized Build
