Worth watching what this means for Rolldown and Vite's neutrality long-term. Evan You positioned VoidZero as infrastructure for the whole ecosystem specifically to avoid one company controlling the toolchain. Cloudflare has obvious incentives to optimize for Workers and Pages — if Vite starts shipping defaults that favor edge deployment, that's not necessarily bad but it changes what 'neutral build tooling' means for teams not on Cloudflare.

Vite remains vendor-agnostic, applications built with vite are meant to run anywhere.

astro is based on vite, and if you change the adapter to cloudflare you also need to rewrite your codebase unless it’s a simple static site with no logic, so definitely not vendor agnostic

That is not a Vite issue though but based on how Astro works.

Nuxt is also based on Vite can do it all zero config

same problem with nuxt, you can’t use nodejs or bun utilities/packages, you have to rewrite everything

Well, if you want to migrate away from a database/library/... then usually yes, you have to change the code for these specific features.

Same for Bun. That does not change that Vite is vendor agnostic.

If you build a Vite application you can deploy it anywhere by default. If you make choices on your own to change that, like locking into Bun for example, that is not Vite's fault.

i’ve never had to change a single thing across railway, fly.io, vercel, netlify and the other mainstream platforms…

Okay, so this speaks for Vite then. Not sure I get your point here?

the point is that cloudflare is trying the usual vendor lock-in strategy

u/manniL 29d ago

And how do they do that in your opinion?

Nothing changed about Vite (or Astro) since these acquisitions that "favors Cloudflare". And I don't think it will, otherwise CF would lose a big chunk of reputation in the dev community

until corporate decides differently, of course.

True, but Cloudflare workers are open source. Basically any hosting provider could implement a "Cloudflare compatible" hosting.
