What is gulp.js?

Gulp.js, or just gulp, is a free and open source toolkit to automate & enhance JavaScript workflows. The user can leverage gulp and the flexibility of JavaScript to automate slow, repetitive workflows and compose them into more efficient build pipelines.

Gulp is presented as:

Flexible
Using code over configuration, utilize all of JavaScript to create a gulpfile—where tasks can be written using one's own code or chained single purpose plugins.

Composable
Write individual, focused tasks and compose them into larger operations, providing speed and accuracy while reducing repetition.

Efficient
By using gulp streams, the user can apply many transformations to files while in memory before anything is written to the disk—with the goal of speeding up the build process.

While free and open source, users can support further development with monthly subscriptions ranging from $2 to $10 each month. For an enterprise-level supported service, gulp is available as part of a Tidelift subscription.
