Webpack is a free and open-source module bundler based on Node.js for JavaScript. It is very "famous" in the modern javascript frameworks world, and although it was made primarily for JavaScript, it also can transform front-end assets such as CSS, and images if the corresponding loaders are included (this is the reason I will be using so many dependencies below).
In a WordPress project like this example theme, webpack avoids multiple requests, taking all our javascript and css files, and bundling all of them together in a minified file. It also increases my productivity, as, well, I don't need to manually compile and minify things.
