What is rollup?

It is a module bundler for JavaScript which compiles small pieces of code into something larger and more complex, such as a library or application. It uses the new standardized format for code modules included in the ES6 revision of JavaScript, instead of previous idiosyncratic solutions such as CommonJS and AMD.

What is Vite?

It is an opinionated web dev build tool that serves your code via native ES Module imports during dev and bundles it with Rollup for production.
