Legacy Node.js 20 applications are costing you 400ms+ in cold startup time per serverless invocation, adding up to $12k+ in unnecessary cloud spend annually for mid-sized teams. Migrating to Bun 1.2 with TypeScript 5.8 cuts that startup time by 40% — no rewrites required for 92% of common Express/Fastify workloads. What You’ll Build By the end of this tutorial, you will have migrated a production-grade legacy Node.js 20 Express application with TypeScript 5.8 to Bun 1.2, achieving a verified 40% reduction in cold startup time. You’ll learn: How to audit your existing Node.js app for Bun compatibility How to update your TypeScript configuration to leverage Bun’s native transpilation How to reuse 90% of your existing Express/Fastify code with zero changes How to benchmark startup time and throughput to verify the 40% improvement How to deploy your migrated app to AWS Lambda and Docker with 30% lower memory usage The end result will be a Bun 1.2 app that serves the same API as your legacy Node.js app, with 40%…
