- SQLite database support (MySQL and Postgres support is planned)
- Jest-compatible unit test support
- better support for Web APIs
- native hot reloading
- Bun-specific APIs that are highly optimized alternatives to many npm modules

Topics covered will include:

- Overview of Bun
- Installing and upgrading
- Creating and running projects
- Using Bun as a package manager
- Configuring linting and code formatting
- Using Bun as a bundler
- Implementing and running unit tests
- Writing and reading files
