Bun + Hono: a year in production

Over the past year we built several production systems on the Bun + Hono stack — from a school management platform to a cafe digitization API. Below are the key takeaways from practice.

Why Bun?

The main reason is speed and a single toolchain. bun install is noticeably faster, with test-runner and bundler in one tool.

• Fast install and startup
• TypeScript directly — no extra build step

Conclusion

For a new project, Bun + Hono is a strong, fast choice. «If you work on it, it works.»
