BunJS is a new high performance JavaScript runtime. It's combination of speed and capability is generating enormous attention in the JavaScript ecosystem.
In this course we will explore the major features of Bun and see how, together, these features provide a fun, fast and robust developer experience. We will use Bun to create a complete Twitter clone API using Bun, TypeScript, Fastify, PrismaORM, and Postgres. And deploy the service onto a Docker image.
The JavaScript ecosystem has been stagnant for a while now. Dependency hell. Slow project compilation. Seemingly random build errors. The need to spend huge amounts of time configuring and trouble shooting project issues. JavaScript fatigue has become a very real issue.
In this course we'll see that Bun is far more than just a fast runtime. Bun includes build tools that streamline the task of transpiling and bundling our apps. NPM package installations are lightening fast. Bun has an enormously powerful CLI, which is included out of the box. Creating and setting up new projects takes almost no effort at all. And on top of all this, Bun's capabilities also include NodeJS compatibility. So you can keep using most of your favorite frameworks and libraries and just focus on building your app. Bun is truly next level tech!
