## Project history and usage

Mako is a Rust-based web bundler for JavaScript and TypeScript applications, libraries, and frameworks. The official site describes it as extremely fast and production-grade, with zero-config defaults, HMR, code splitting, TypeScript, Less, CSS Modules, React support, and Umi integration.

### Project history

The Mako team says the project began in March 2023 as Ant Group explored Rust-based build tooling to solve frontend build-speed problems. The official open-source announcement gives the core timeline: project kickoff in 2023.3, first usable version in 2023.7, internal Ant Group release on 2023.11.24, and public open source release in June 2024.

Mako was originally presented from the UmiJS ecosystem and later surfaced through the Utoo repository, a unified toolchain for web development. The Utoo README describes a Rust and Turbopack-based toolchain with package management, bundling, and command execution components; Mako/utoopack is the bundler side of that ecosystem.

### Adoption history

Before open sourcing, Mako was used internally at Ant Group. The official site says it had been used in hundreds of production projects at Ant Group and tested across thousands of older projects and npm package versions for compatibility.

For public users, the documented entry points are `npm create mako`, direct docs usage, and Umi integration. The open-source announcement explicitly targeted Umi users by showing how to enable Mako in Umi 4.2.0 or later, which made adoption easiest for projects already in that framework family.

### How it is used

Mako can be tried with `npm create mako` and configured with a `mako.config.json` file at a project root. The config docs show entry points, output behavior, dev server settings, code splitting, externals, CSS handling, and other bundler options; when used through Umi, the docs recommend configuring the bundler through `.umirc.ts` or `config/config.ts` instead.

### Why package nerds care

Mako matters to package-tooling watchers because it is part of the Rust rewrite wave in frontend infrastructure, but with an enterprise migration story rather than a purely greenfield one. It competes in the same problem space as Webpack, Vite, Rspack, Farm, Turbopack, SWC, and esbuild while emphasizing compatibility with existing Umi and Webpack-shaped projects.

### Timeline

- 2023-03: Mako project work begins.
- 2023-07: The team reaches a first usable version.
- 2023-11-24: Mako is officially released internally at Ant Group.
- 2024-06-28: Mako is announced as open source.
- 2026: The Utoo repository continues development of the wider toolchain.

### Related projects

- Related projects include Umi, Ant Design, Webpack, Vite, Rspack, Farm, Turbopack, SWC, Oxc, and Utoo's `@utoo/pack` toolchain.
