Is Node.js Dying?
Is Node.js Dying?
Let’s Talk.
With the rise of Bun, the JavaScript ecosystem is seeing one of its biggest shifts in years—and the performance numbers are hard to ignore:
- Up to 5× faster JavaScript execution
- Built-in transpiler out of the box
- A blazing-fast package manager (up to 29× faster)
- ~7ms hot reloading for a smoother dev experience

That said
Node.js—the original backbone of backend JavaScript remains rock-solid, battle-tested, and backed by a massive ecosystem and community.
My takeaway:
Node.js isn’t dying.
But Bun is raising the bar for what a modern JavaScript runtime can be.
And yes—Bun feels like the future of this space
