Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The existing backend of todo app uses webpack which is the most popular bundler in the JavaScript ecosystem. The new bundler esbuild is becoming popular as it's extremely fast (10-100x faster) in the JavaScript ecosystem.

esbuild has the highest satisfaction & interest under build tools in the State of JavaScript survey 2020.
