“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“If your distributed system needs reliability, Temporal is the answer. Durable execution eliminates an entire class of bugs.”

“Complex but solves real problems. For mission-critical workflows, the reliability guarantees are worth the investment.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
“As systems become more distributed and AI agents need durability, Temporal becomes essential infrastructure.”
