What makes Bun faster than Node.js?

Bun is built using the Zig programming language and the JavaScriptCore engine, resulting in significantly faster startup times and package installation speeds compared to Node.js.

Does Bun support existing npm packages?

Yes, Bun is designed as a drop-in replacement for Node.js and is compatible with the vast majority of npm packages and Node.js built-in modules.

Does Bun include a built-in database?

Bun includes a highly optimized, built-in SQLite driver (bun:sqlite) which is significantly faster than traditional Node.js SQLite libraries.

Can I run TypeScript files directly in Bun?

Absolutely. Bun has native support for TypeScript and JSX, meaning you can run .ts and .tsx files directly without a separate build or transpilation step.

How do I migrate my project from Node.js to Bun?

You can migrate by installing Bun, replacing your current package manager (like npm or yarn) with 'bun install', and updating your package.json scripts to use the 'bun' command.
