Summary
Bun is an all-in-one JavaScript/TypeScript toolkit shipping as a single executable, replacing Node.js with a Zig-based runtime running on JavaScriptCore for dramatically lower startup times and memory usage. It includes a built-in package manager (`bun install`), test runner (`bun test`), bundler, and a broad API surface covering HTTP servers, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Redis, S3, and more. Bun supports Linux (x64/arm64), macOS, and Windows, and can be installed via curl, npm, Homebrew, or Docker.
