Reviewer scorecard
“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.”
“The proxy approach means minimal code changes. Cost tracking alone pays for itself when you have multiple models.”
“Local emulation of D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects means you develop at full speed without deploys.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
“Local-first development tools for edge platforms will become the standard. Wrangler leads this pattern.”
