Long cold start time of development server

• Description: The development server for the IEEE RVCE website made using React and bundled using Webpack takes a long time to start when running the npm start command, especially on the first run of the day. This slows down the development process and makes it difficult to iterate quickly.

Steps to reproduce:

Run the command npm start to start the development server, Observe the time taken for the server to start up.

• Expected behavior: The development server should start up quickly, allowing us to iterate quickly and efficiently.
• Actual behavior: The development server takes a long time to start up, which slows down the development process.
• Possible solution: Migrate the project from Webpack to VITE.

Comienza ejecutando npm start y mide el tiempo de inicio del servidor de desarrollo, especialmente en la primera ejecución. Inspecciona la configuración actual de desarrollo de React y Webpack y, a continuación, evalúa si migrar a Vite resuelve la demora. Se considera terminado cuando el servidor de desarrollo se inicia sustancialmente más rápido y se conserva el flujo de trabajo de desarrollo existente.
