  Beyond Node.js: Building High-Performance Applications with the Bun Runtime For over a decade, Node.js has been the undisputed standard for server-side JavaScript development. However, the landscape of web development is shifting with the emergence of Bun , a modern, all-in-one JavaScript and TypeScript runtime designed for speed and developer efficiency. Bun is not just a runtime; it is a comprehensive toolkit that replaces multiple tools in the traditional Node.js ecosystem, offering a streamlined experience for building scalable applications. What is Bun? Bun is a fast, all-in-one JavaScript runtime, package manager, and test runner. Unlike Node.js, which is built on Google's V8 engine, Bun is powered by JavaScriptCore (JSC) , the engine developed by Apple for Safari.
