Reviewer scorecard
“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“webpack compatibility with Rust speed. The migration path from webpack is smoother than switching to Vite or Turbopack.”
“The proxy approach means minimal code changes. Cost tracking alone pays for itself when you have multiple models.”
“For webpack-heavy projects, Rspack provides the biggest speed improvement with the least migration effort.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
“Rust-based JS tooling replacing JavaScript tooling is the trend. Rspack, Biome, and SWC prove it works.”
