Cloudflare acquires VoidZero — Vite, Rolldown, and Oxc stay MIT-licensed and vendor-agnostic
Cloudflare is acquiring VoidZero, the startup behind Vite (~129M weekly downloads), Vitest, Rolldown, and Oxc, with the existing team staying on and all projects remaining MIT-licensed and community-driven. Cloudflare is committing $1M to a Vite ecosystem fund administered by the Vite core team — a structural backstop for the neutrality that earned Vite its position as the shared foundation under Vue, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Angular, and a dozen other frameworks.
