Oh hey I worked on this! Bonus fun fact: this feature accidentally ended up being really easy to implement due to completely unrelated work normalizing the behavior of VCL function calls. A great example how the right data structures and algorithms can allow your compiler to do more with less.

NEW! Fastly's HTML Rewriter is live in the JS SDK (v3.35.0) for Compute.

It's a native, streaming parser that lets you modify HTML at the edge with CSS selectors—and it's ~20x faster than old-school DOM buffering.
