DevOps: Cloudflare Acquires VoidZero to Build the Future of the AI-Native Web
Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the connectivity cloud company, announced it has acquired VoidZero, the open source-first company behind the next-generation JavaScript tooling ecosystem Vite. The acquisition will unify VoidZero’s high-performance tooling — including the Vite build tool, Vitest test runner, Rust-based Rolldown bundler and Oxc toolchain — natively into the Cloudflare ecosystem. By merging Cloudflare’s global edge network and Workers developer platform with the modern web's industry-standard toolchain, Cloudflare is creating a frictionless, one-click deployment stack from local code straight to Cloudflare’s global network.
“The best engineers I know are shipping more code than ever, and writing less of it by hand. AI is doing more of the typing — so everything around it has to keep up,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. “Evan and his team built Vite from scratch with the same philosophy we used to build Cloudflare: strip out the bloat and make it fast. Bringing them on board gives millions of developers, and the AI agents working alongside them, the fastest path from local code to our global network.”
“Our mission at VoidZero has always been to eliminate the fragmentation and performance bottlenecks of the modern web stack," said Evan You, founder and CEO of VoidZero.” “Cloudflare shares our obsession with speed and architectural purity. Joining forces allows us to keep the Vite ecosystem neutral, open, and vendor-agnostic, while giving us the resources and global infrastructure to supercharge the developer experience for millions of engineers worldwide.”
