Testing the new runtime in a real-world project to see if the hype is real.

Node.js vs Bun: A Practical Performance Comparison
Bun has been making waves as a faster alternative to Node.js. I decided to put it to the test. ### Speed and Tooling Bun's startup speed is impressive, and its built-in test runner and bundler make the dev experience very smooth. ### Compatibility While Bun is mostly compatible with Node.js, there are still some edge cases. For now, Node.js remains the choice for production stability, but Bun is closing the gap fast.
