On non-M1 Macs, building the frontend is very slow. This is because Webpack rebuilds all files on every file change. To improve this, I have ported our build config to vite. Vite is much faster because it doesn't attempt to rebuild every file. Instead, serves the files as is. This has three primary improvements for us:

  1. It's much faster (essentially instantly in dev mode)
  2. When debugging it doesn't rely on source maps to view the actual code instead when you step through the debugger you're stepping through the actual code for a 1x1 experience
  3. Hot Module Replacement (HMR) is much faster and more reliable, meaning that we don't have to force an app refresh as often to see the changes being made.

From the developer's POV this is a drop in replacement. All existing build commands (including prod builds) should behave as they have before (barring minor issues).
