9 Real-World Websites Using Vue.js

Vue.js now sits among the most-used frontend frameworks in the world, used by 17.6% of developers in Stack Overflow’s 2025 survey (behind React at 44.7% and Angular at 18.2%), and it’s not just powering small side projects.

GitLab, Nintendo, Adobe, and Alibaba all run real, high-traffic parts of their business on it.

Having a look at who is using Vue, and how they are using it, can give you an indication of whether it’s the right option for your project, especially if you are creating major, enterprise-level financial applications.

Let’s take a look at some of the biggest companies and real-world websites using Vue.js today, and what tends to make it the right call.

At Trio, we have developers with several years of production experience in software development, including in heavily regulated industries like fintech. They can help you make the right decision for your company, as well as implement that decision effectively.

Companies Actually Using Vue.js in Production

Let’s jump straight into some of the major companies using Vue in production in 2026.

GitLab

GitLab uses Vue as its main front-end framework, and has done so long enough to have publicly documented internal guidelines for how the framework should and shouldn’t be used across the platform.

It is not an all-Vue interface, though.

GitLab’s own frontend documentation says its main application still ran Vue 2.x as of November 2025 (Vue 2 reached end of life in December 2023), with Vue 3 used in newer “frontend islands”, while some pages remain server-rendered HAML and jQuery removal is unfinished.

That makes GitLab a useful lesson in how long a large Vue 2 to Vue 3 migration can take.

From what we have seen, it’s one of the best-documented real-world Vue deployments anywhere, in large part because GitLab’s own engineers have talked publicly about the decision.

If you are looking for a Vue developer, GitLab as a former employer is a strong indicator of production experience. Considering the company’s focus on security, this makes it a great place to source potential fintech developers specifically.

Nintendo

Vue is used across several of Nintendo’s official websites, including regional sites and the My Nintendo rewards platform, where it handles a real, high-traffic user account system rather than just static marketing pages.

This high volume of traffic and user base is similar to the kind that you can expect on banking websites dealing with expansion.

Adobe

Adobe uses Vue for Portfolio (a tool that lets users build a personal showcase site quickly) and for Behance (the creative-work platform Adobe owns), which serves a large, active creative community.

Alibaba

The massive platform has used Vue for parts of its e-commerce platform, and the company’s own team has even played a major role in the creation of Weex, a framework that lets Vue components render natively on iOS and Android as well as in the browser.

Weex later joined the Apache Incubator and retired from it in 2021, so it is better treated as history than as a current option.

All of this is a genuine sign of how deeply the company invested in the ecosystem around Vue specifically.

Considering their position in e-commerce, Alibaba’s commitment to Vue could be a major indicator of whether or not you want to commit to it for your own payment-handling platform.

Xiaomi

Xiaomi is another example of a company that uses Vue to power its e-commerce storefront, where fast page loads and smooth product browsing directly affect conversion at meaningful scale, as with all other products in the financial technology industry.

Google Careers

Google’s recruiting platform has been listed in the Made With Vue.js showcase as built with Vue, a notable example precisely because it comes from a company with essentially unlimited choice of frontend technology (Google also publishes Angular).

Grammarly, BMW, and 9GAG

Outside of the major players, Vue has also been reported in use at companies including these three, across productivity software, automotive, and content platforms, though the public documentation on these smaller deployments is thinner than for GitLab or Alibaba.

That spread says something real about how widely applicable the framework has proven to be, rather than fitting one narrow use case.

For more examples with screenshots, the community showcase Made With Vue.js lists hundreds of sites, including fintech names such as PAYONE and Fundbox.

Why Companies Actually Choose Vue.js

• A genuinely gentle learning curve: Developers coming from plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript tend to become productive in Vue faster than in some other major frameworks, which matters directly for hiring and onboarding timelines.
• Incremental adoption: Vue can be dropped into one part of an existing site without requiring a full rewrite, which is a large part of why established companies with legacy codebases, GitLab and Alibaba both being real examples of this, have been able to adopt it without a risky, all-or-nothing migration project.
• Strong performance by default: Vue’s reactivity system and virtual DOM keep updates fast even as an interface grows more complex, which matters most for data-heavy dashboards or high-traffic storefronts. Vue 3.6 adds an opt-in Vapor Mode that skips the virtual DOM, but it is still in release candidate, so stable Vue 3.5 remains the safe choice for production today.
• A mature, official ecosystem: Vue Router and Pinia for state management are officially maintained, Vite is the officially recommended build tool, and all three integrate cleanly.

Vue vs. the Nuxt Question

A meaningful share of new Vue projects today are actually built on Nuxt, Vue’s companion meta-framework, instead of just on Vue.

Put simply, Vue builds the interface, while Nuxt adds the server, routing, and project structure around it. Stack Overflow’s 2025 survey put Nuxt at about 4% of developers against 17.6% for Vue itself, so it is a common choice rather than the default one.

Nuxt 4 is the current line (Nuxt 4.6 shipped on 5 October 2026), Nuxt 3 reached end of life on 31 July 2026, and NuxtLabs joined Vercel in 2025.

Plain Vue suits a component or a specific interactive section added to an existing site. Nuxt suits a full application built from scratch, particularly one where SEO and initial load performance matter enough to justify server-side rendering.

Nuxt also adds server-side rendering, file-based routing, and a more opinionated project structure on top of Vue’s core, similar in spirit to what Next.js does for React.

When Vue Is the Right Choice

From what we have seen, Vue tends to be the strongest choice for teams that want a component-based, reactive framework without the steeper learning curve some alternatives carry, and for projects that need to add interactivity incrementally to an existing site.

In most cases, our developers like to use it for dashboards, e-commerce storefronts, and content platforms specifically.

However, it’s a far weaker fit if your teams are already standardized on a different framework across their broader stack, where switching creates more hiring and maintenance friction than it solves, or if your project needs a very specific ecosystem tool.

Hiring is a real consideration too: React’s developer pool is roughly two and a half times larger than Vue’s (44.7% against 17.6% in Stack Overflow’s 2025 survey), and our Vue vs React comparison covers that trade-off.

Any new Vue project should also start on Vue 3, since Vue 2 reached end of life on 31 December 2023.

If you’re building a Vue-based product handling payments or financial data specifically, the framework choice above is only half the decision. The engineers building it need to understand the regulated side too.

Trio places Vue developers with real fintech production experience to ensure your apps are not only fast right now, but scalable in the future, and able to survive a regulatory audit. We do this through staff augmentation with senior Latin American developers.
