Distilled Rewrites Cloud SDK Performance

Distilled’s strongest idea is not code generation alone—it is treating inaccurate API specifications as an ongoing engineering problem. The performance gains are compelling, but teams must weigh them against Effect’s learning curve and a large generated dependency surface.

• –Covers 81,191 APIs through provider-specific packages under `@distilled.cloud`.
• –Uses live Alchemy infrastructure tests to identify and patch missing errors, incorrect schemas, and runtime drift.
• –Benchmarks report smaller bundles, lower import memory, and substantially less per-call overhead than several official SDKs.
• –Effect-native APIs provide typed failures, declarative retries, and streaming pagination as composable primitives.
• –Apache-2.0 licensing makes the generated clients and specification fixes inspectable and forkable.
