New React apps on Vite
React 18 and TypeScript, as on the TruckFleet dispatch console.
Frontend
Vite development services for React apps that build fast
Our dispatch console is built with Vite, React 18 and TypeScript. We start new React work there, and we move older projects off Create React App.

When Vite is the right call
Pick Vite when
- A React app that is a single-page console or dashboard
- You are still on Create React App
- Your build tool is the slowest part of your day
Look elsewhere when
- You need server rendering from a framework, where we would look at a framework instead
- Your build is a large monorepo with its own tooling and no pain
- You need a published Vite migration to inspect, which we do not have

AngularFAQs
What buyers ask first
Should a new React project use Vite?
The React team deprecated Create React App for new apps on 14 February 2025 and names Vite, Parcel and RSBuild alongside frameworks. We used Vite on our dispatch console.
Which Node.js version does Vite 8 need?
Node.js 20.19 or later, or 22.12 or later. These are the same as for Vite 7.
Do you migrate Create React App projects?
We have no published migration, and we say so on the first call. We start new work on Vite and can scope a move for an existing app.
Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?
You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts stay in your name.
