Did you know Tailwind CSS officially provides a loader for webpack, Rspack, and Turbopack?
No more PostCSS. Up to 30% faster.
Rsbuild now ships a new plugin that integrates the loader out of the box:
In the next version of umi, we will use `@taildwindcss/webpack` loader to support tailwindcss v4 for both utoopack and webpack: github.com/umijs/umi/pull/13…

Web devs: no bundler config needed.
No expo-* aliases. No Metro hacks. Just install and import.
The web build has zero runtime references to react-native webpack/Vite/Turbopack never touch the native code.
🔒 New advisory: webpack-dev-server (CVE-2026-9595).
A proxy with context / and ws: true intercepts the HMR WebSocket, leaking cookies to the backend.
✅ Patched in 5.2.5

Next.js 16.2.7 is the current stable release, and with it Turbopack has fully replaced Webpack as the default bundler for all Next.js applications. This is not a gradual migration anymore. Vercel made Turbopack the default in Next.js 16 back in October 2025, and by June 2026 the ecosystem has moved on. Projects still pinned to custom Webpack configs are now the exception, not the rule.
The practical impact is measurable. Turbopack delivers 2 to 5 times faster production builds and near-instantaneous hot reloads in development. But the real story is what this means for the broader web development stack. The Rust-based bundler is designed to become framework-agnostic, which puts pressure on every other tool in the build pipeline to keep up or get left behind.
InfiniStrategy take: If you are still running Webpack in 2026, you are paying a tax on developer time and CI costs that compounds daily. The migration window closed months ago. Audit your custom loaders, switch to Turbopack-compatible plugins, and stop treating build tooling as an afterthought. The teams winning right now treat their build pipeline as a first-class product concern.
