+
+We're excited to announce that the official [Cloudflare Vite plugin](/workers/vite-plugin/) has [reached v1.0](https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-the-cloudflare-vite-plugin) and is now **generally available**. The Vite plugin allows you to run [Vite's](https://vite.dev/) development server in the Workers runtime (`workerd`), meaning you get all the benefits of Vite (including [Hot Module Replacement](https://vite.dev/guide/features.html#hot-module-replacement)) while still being able to use features that are exclusive to Workers ([like Durable Objects](/durable-objects/)).
+
+This effort was done [🧡 in partnership with the Vite team 🧡](https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-the-cloudflare-vite-plugin) and made by possible with their new [environment API](https://vite.dev/guide/api-environment).
+
+#### Framework support
+
+The Vite plugin is supported in frontend [frameworks](/workers/frameworks/) (for building single-page applications and static sites) as well as [React Router v7](/workers/frameworks/framework-guides/react-router/) (for building server-side rendered applications). For an example, check out [this full-stack application](https://github.com/cloudflare/templates/tree/main/react-router-postgres-ssr-template) built using React Router v7 and the Vite plugin.
+
+You can also build complete full-stack apps on Workers **without a framework**:[“just use Vite"](https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-the-cloudflare-vite-plugin) and React together, and build a backend API in the same Worker. Follow our [React SPA with an API tutorial](/workers/vite-plugin/tutorial/) to learn how.
+
+#### Configuration
+
+If you're already using [Vite](https://vite.dev/) as your preferred build and development tooling, you can keep using Vite and build applications on Workers — with minimal configuration in your `vite.config.ts`:
+
+```ts title="vite.config.ts"
+import { defineConfig } from "vite";
+import { cloudflare } from "@cloudflare/vite-plugin";
+
+export default defineConfig({
+	plugins: [cloudflare()],
+});
+```
+
