Adds an experimental builder: "rspack" (or NITRO_BUILDER=rspack) that bundles the server with Rspack v2, and an rspack template for nitro create.
How it works
Instead of porting each build plugin, a small host runs Nitro's own build plugins and user buildPlugins (Rollup plugin interface) inside Rspack:
resolveId runs in beforeResolve and in the externals function (virtual modules, unenv, aliases, externals + nf3 tracing). Builtins are externalized like nitro:builtins of Rolldown: ids aliased to another node: id with that id, and without the node platform only the require() of builtins the runtime provides becomes an import (other ones stay a require() call).
load / transform run in a pre-loader. Virtual modules are backed by empty placeholder files. Source maps of load, transform and renderChunk results are chained into the output maps.
buildStart, buildEnd, renderChunk, generateBundle, writeBundle and closeBundle map to compiler/compilation hooks. The plugin context supports resolve, load, emitFile (assets), getFileName, getModuleInfo, getModuleIds and addWatchFile.
TypeScript/JSX go through builtin:swc-loader, WASM through unwasm/plugin/rspack, and new URL(..., import.meta.url) assets through Rspack's own asset handling.
Chunk files are named like with the other builders (_routes/, _libs/, _tasks/, _virtual/, _wasm/), with deterministic chunk ids in production.
Presets keep working without per-preset rspackConfig: plugins, external and the relevant output options of rollupConfig / rolldownConfig are applied (entry/chunk file names, banner/footer/intro/outro, inlineDynamicImports, source map options). Other options are ignored with a warning.
The dev server keeps the compiler when routes are added or removed (virtual modules are invalidated instead).
@rspack/core (>= 2.3) is not a dependency or peer dependency. It is in deps.json and installed on demand from the project, like rolldown and vite.
Performance
Rspack has no native filters for JS plugin hooks: every request goes through beforeResolve and the externals function. To keep the JS calls cheap:
resolveId hooks are skipped when no hook filter matches the request, results are shared between beforeResolve and externals, and bare imports no plugin resolves are resolved once per directory.
The pre-loader rule uses native conditions built from the load/transform hook filters (including the replace plugin code filter from perf(build): add a code hook filter to the replace plugin #4946), using the loader codeFilter of Rspack 2.3. On the test fixture this cuts loader calls from 215 to 46. Windows keeps a single rule (native conditions see \ separators).
The server main banner is added natively (BannerPlugin), and chunks only go through JS when a plugin has a renderChunk hook. In dev, virtual placeholders are not watched (no second build on start) and rebuilds use Rspack's default watch delay.
Measured on an early prototype (median warm production build of the fixture): 185 → 151 ms with Rspack 2.2.9, 184 → 130 ms with 2.3 beta.
Changes outside the rspack builder
String id hook filters of the rspack host are matched as globs, like Rollup (picomatch, bundled; already in dist through tinyglobby).
getChunkName normalizes Windows paths, so route, task and build chunks are named correctly on Windows with all builders.
Cloudflare output rewrites also match ns.createRequire(...) / (0, ns.createRequire)(...).
The externals and Cloudflare output plugins generate boundary source maps (instead of one mapping per character) for their chunk rewrites, which made chaining them slow with rspack.
build:config receives { builder: "rspack", rspack }. The aws-lambda streaming hook handles it, and the deprecated rollup:before is skipped (with a warning) for rspack.
The full build copies unwasm's rspack-loader.cjs next to its bundled chunk.
Test fixture: a fixture:sourcemap plugin checking mapped positions, and a check that output source maps only reference existing files or virtual: sources.
Docs: builder, rspackConfig, buildPlugins, hooks, migration notes and nitro create.
Status
Full suite with NITRO_BUILDER=rspack, full suite with rolldown, presets/examples with rollup and presets with vite: all pass locally.
CI: rspack runs test/presets in the tests-rolldown job (ubuntu and windows, after the rolldown tests since they share the fixture), and the rspack unit tests run with the other unit tests. pnpm test includes pnpm test:rspack.
Known limitations:
On Windows, the Cloudflare runtime tests (cloudflare-module, cloudflare-dev in nitro dev mode) fail with rspack and are skipped for now (rspack: cloudflare tests fail on windows #4948). The rest of the suite passes on Windows.
this.emitFile supports assets only (no chunks). Bundle objects in generateBundle have no import/export details.
Some rollupConfig output options are not mapped (Nitro warns).
There is no Rsbuild integration yet.
The lockfile diff also re-resolves the oxc-parser shim peer on a few unplugin consumers, since their optional @rspack/core peer is now present.

Summary
Builder entry point and public configuration .github/workflows/ci.yml, AGENTS.md, build.config.ts, deps.json, package.json, docs/1.docs/*, docs/3.config/8.build.md, src/build/build.ts, src/build/plugins.ts, src/cli/commands/create/_templates.ts, src/config/resolvers/builder.ts, src/nitro.ts, src/presets/aws-lambda/preset.ts, src/types/*, src/utils/_deps.ts, test/unit/create-project.test.ts
Builder selection, configuration types, dependency loading, the build entry point, a project template, documentation, and the AWS Lambda preset now include Rspack. Test scripts and CI run selected tests with the Rspack builder.
The Rspack plugin connects compiler hooks and loader execution to plugin hooks, virtual module paths, emitted assets, bundle hooks, and source-map handling. The build copies the referenced unwasm Rspack loader beside generated output files.
Rspack configuration maps supported Rollup and Rolldown options, configures chunk and source-map output, and assigns Rspack-specific chunk names. Tests cover output options, chunk paths, source maps, Cloudflare rewrites, and generated Node preset files.
Development and production build lifecycle src/build/rspack/dev.ts, src/build/rspack/prod.ts, test/unit/dev-route-reload.test.ts
The development watcher scans and invalidates Nitro inputs. The production builder runs Rspack and reports build results. Route-reload tests exercise added and removed routes.
nitrojs/nitro#4990 — This change adds the Rspack production builder, but does not extract shared production-build finalization.
nitrojs/nitro#4931 — The issue concerns new URL(..., import.meta.url) asset handling; the supplied summaries do not show that this change addresses its stated correctness limits.
Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 41183
The experimental builder adds useful build and test integration, but unresolved plugin compatibility, rebuild behavior, source-map handling, and AWS Lambda entry concerns should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merging. Standalone test prerequisites and builder documentation also need clarification.

Skip `resolveId` when no hook filter matches, share resolve results between `beforeResolve` and externals, skip unused `renderChunk` source maps and, with Rspack >= 2.3, run the pre-loader only on modules matching hook filters (loader `codeFilter`).
Workerd only resolves builtins by their `node:` id. A bare `require("events")`
from bundled CommonJS was hoisted to a static import of `events` and the worker failed to start.

Externals are ES module imports on worker targets, and `require()` from bundled
CommonJS got the namespace (e.g. `class extends require("events")` threw).

generateBundle creates its bundle once before running every hook, while the context emits later assets directly to the compilation. An asset emitted by one generateBundle hook may not appear in the bundle passed to the next.
The subsequent plugin may omit its processing or produce incomplete output.
This can occur when: The first generateBundle plugin calls this.emitFile and a subsequent plugin searches its bundle argument for that asset.

Use loaderRule in the rspack test build helper, and cover a filtered hook.
The build helper hardcodes a /\.mjs$/ pre-loader rule. Production code builds this rule with the exported loaderRule. Because the helper skips it, the tests in this file cannot detect a regression in loaderRule selection. The test plugin's transform also declares no filter, so the filtered branch of loaderRule is not exercised.
Call loaderRule from the helper:
🧪 Suggested fix
-import { LOADER_PATH, RollupPluginsHost } from "../../src/build/rspack/_plugin.ts";+import { loaderRule } from "../../src/build/rspack/_filters.ts";+import { LOADER_PATH, RollupPluginsHost } from "../../src/build/rspack/_plugin.ts";
Add a build test with a transform hook that declares a code filter matching one fixture module. Assert that the hook runs for that module. A dropped selection then fails the test.

Update the rspack test build helper to construct its rule through the exported
loaderRule instead of hardcoding the .mjs pre-loader rule, passing the existing
plugin host’s virtual directory and hooks. Add a build test whose transform hook
has a code filter matching one fixture module, and assert that the hook runs for
that module to cover filtered selection.

Update the test:rspack script or its documentation to ensure pnpm build runs

Check that sourcemap sources are files, not directories.
The check at test/tests.ts:872 accepts any path for which fsp.stat resolves. Node resolves stat for directories too. A source that names a directory, such as ., with no sourcesContent entry therefore passes. The test title requires sources to reference existing files or virtual modules, so the assertion accepts a source that the title rejects.
Check the entry type with isFile(). A missing entry still counts as a miss. A map that lists a directory without sourcesContent now fails this assertion.

Restore the globals:* checks for Rspack on Cloudflare presets.
For cloudflare* presets, the nodejs compatibility test now skips every globals:* check when the builder is rspack. The fixture checks four globals: global, Buffer, process, and BroadcastChannel. The continue at line 1154 runs before the assertion at line 1156. A failed check on the Rspack build therefore cannot fail this test. The same loop still skips these checks for rolldown, and this change adds rspack to that exclusion.
Remove the Rspack condition so the Rspack build runs the same four assertions:

Ignore the `api` plugin property in the unsupported hooks warning, reset `lastIndex` of `external` RegExps, keep the TypeScript extension of virtual ids with a query, find the server entry of a custom `rspackConfig.entry`, support a string entry in the aws-lambda streaming hook, and document the remaining plugin context differences.
Keep both the `rspack` and `bun` builders (#4987). The `rollup:before` hook warns once when skipped by either, and the source map and chunk name tests added for rspack keep the previous checks with `bun` (no input source maps, chunks named by Bun).
