Bun Bundler Performance Benchmark

Bun 打包器性能实测This topic has been discussed many times in the community, but with each version update, many conclusions need revising. This article revisits the topic based on the latest version.

Getting Started ​

Usage in real projects tends to be more complex:

javascript
module.exports = {
  entry: './src/index.js',
  output: { path: __dirname + '/dist', filename: '[name].[contenthash:8].js' },
  module: {
    rules: [
      { test: /\.jsx?$/, exclude: /node_modules/, use: 'babel-loader' },
      { test: /\.css$/, use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader', 'postcss-loader'] }
    ]
  },
  optimization: {
    splitChunks: {
      chunks: 'all',
      cacheGroups: {
        vendor: { test: /[\\/]node_modules[\\/]/, name: 'vendors' }
      }
    }
  }
}

This approach improves both testability and scalability of the code.

Source Code Analysis ​

Here is a complete example:

javascript
const fs = require('fs')
const { Transform, pipeline } = require('stream')
const { promisify } = require('util')
const pipelineAsync = promisify(pipeline)

const csvToJson = new Transform({
  transform(chunk, encoding, callback) {
    const lines = chunk.toString().split('\n')
    const headers = lines[0].split(',')
    for (let i = 1; i < lines.length; i++) {
      if (!lines[i].trim()) continue
      const values = lines[i].split(',')
      const obj = {}
      headers.forEach((h, idx) => obj[h.trim()] = values[idx]?.trim())
      this.push(JSON.stringify(obj) + '\n')
    }
    callback()
  }
})

Pay attention to edge case handling — this is critical in production environments.

Real-world Application ​

The key is to understand the core logic:

javascript
const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
  for (const entry of list.getEntries()) {
    if (entry.entryType === 'largest-contentful-paint') {
      reportMetric('LCP', entry.startTime)
    }
    if (entry.entryType === 'first-input') {
      reportMetric('FID', entry.processingStart - entry.startTime)
    }
  }
})
observer.observe({ entryTypes: ['largest-contentful-paint', 'first-input'] })

Performance optimization should be tailored to specific scenarios; not every situation requires aggressive optimization.

Optimization Tips ​

We can improve this in the following ways:

javascript
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'
import { resolve } from 'path'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue()],
  resolve: { alias: { '@': resolve(__dirname, 'src') } },
  server: {
    port: 3000,
    proxy: { '/api': { target: 'http://localhost:8080', changeOrigin: true } }
  },
  build: {
    rollupOptions: {
      output: {
        manualChunks: {
          vendor: ['vue', 'vue-router', 'pinia'],
          utils: ['lodash-es', 'dayjs']
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

This solution has been running stably in production for over six months and has been validated in practice.

Summary ​

  • Always verify compatibility thoroughly before using it in production
  • In team collaboration, conventions and documentation matter more than the technology itself
  • Keep an eye on community trends; technical approaches need continuous iteration
  • Don't adopt new technology just for the sake of it
  • Code samples are for reference only and need adjusting to your business scenario
