Weekly Update, April 16, 2025 – Faster Bundle Times with 3.3-beta.0! 🚀

The first 3.3-beta.0 includes the SWC modern transpiler, builds only for modern web architectures, and adds other optimizations.

We’ve already found more ways to improve Meteor’s performance before introducing an external bundler.

We’re measuring the impact of upcoming changes to include in the next beta, with further optimizations:

  • Skip compilation for excluded architectures (legacy) PR#13698

  • Add support for @parcel/watcher as an alternative faster and cross-OS compatible file watcher PR#13699

  • Investigate performance issue with offline catalog database (SQLite) affecting speed in published releases. PR#13702

We need help to make sure these changes are properly delivered across your Meteor projects. This will let us move forward with more internal updates. Time to modernize! :grin:
