🆚 Gulp vs. Webpack

Gulp is an open-source JavaScript toolkit for automating repetitive development tasks using a code-based configuration and a streaming build system.

It uses Node.js streams to process files through pipelines of small, single-purpose plugins, enabling tasks such as compilation, minification, concatenation, image optimization, linting, and live reloading, and relies on an ecosystem of over 4,000 plugins available to extend its functionality.

Webpack is a static module bundler for modern JavaScript applications.
