Four tools, one toolkit

Use them together as an all-in-one toolkit, or adopt them incrementally. bun test works in Node.js projects. bun install can be used as the fastest npm client. Each tool stands on its own.

JavaScript Runtime

Starts 3x faster than Node.js

A fast JavaScript runtime designed as a drop-in replacement for Node.js

$ bun ./index.ts

Package Manager

30x faster

Install packages up to 30x faster than npm with a global cache and workspaces

$ bun install

Test Runner

Replaces Jest & Vitest

Jest-compatible test runner with built-in code coverage and watch mode

$ bun test

Bundler

Replaces Vite and esbuild

Bundle TypeScript, JSX, React & CSS for both browsers and servers

$ bun build ./app.tsx

✓TypeScript & JSX built-in (no config)
✓CSS imports & bundling
✓React support out of the box
✓Build for the browser, Bun, and Node.js
✓Single-file executables
✓.html, .css, .ts, .tsx, .jsx & more

$ bun run

Bun is a JavaScript runtime.

Bun is a new JavaScript runtime built from scratch to serve the modern JavaScript ecosystem. It has three major design goals:

Speed. Bun starts fast and runs fast. It extends JavaScriptCore, the performance-minded JS engine built for Safari. Fast start times mean fast apps and fast APIs.
Elegant APIs. Bun provides a minimal set of highly-optimized APIs for performing common tasks, like starting an HTTP server and writing files.
Cohesive DX. Bun is a complete toolkit for building JavaScript apps, including a package manager, test runner, and bundler.

Bun is designed as a drop-in replacement for Node.js. It natively implements thousands of Node.js and Web APIs, including fs, path, Buffer and more.

The goal of Bun is to run most of the world's server-side JavaScript and provide tools to improve performance, reduce complexity, and multiply developer productivity.

Bun works with Next.js

Lee Robinson

VP of Developer Experience at Cursor (Anysphere)

app/blog/[slug]/page.tsx

import { s3, $, sql } from "bun";

export default async function BlogPage({ params }) {

const [post] = await sql`

SELECT title, image_key, content

FROM posts

WHERE slug = ${params.slug}

`;

const imgUrl = s3.file(post.image_key).presign({•••});

const wordCount = await $`echo ${post.content} | wc -w`;

return (

<div>

<h1>{post.title}</h1>

<p>Word count: {wordCount}</p>

</div>

);

}

Full speed full-stack

Fast frontend apps with Bun's built-in high performance development server and production bundler. You've never seen hot-reloading this fast!

Develop and ship frontend apps

Bun's built-in bundler and dev server make frontend development fast and simple. Develop with instant hot reload, then ship optimized production builds—all with zero configuration.

$ bun init --react

Start a dev server

Run bun ./index.html to start a dev server. TypeScript, JSX, React, and CSS imports work out of the box.

Hot Module Replacement

Built-in HMR preserves application state during development. Changes appear instantly—no manual refresh needed.

Build for production

Build optimized bundles with bun build ./index.html --production. Tree-shaking, minification, and code splitting work out of the box.
