You are still waiting 40 seconds for a dev server that restarted. Not because your machine is slow. Not because your project is too large. Because your build tool forgot everything it knew the moment the process exited The pattern every frontend team accepts automatically: # restart dev server vite # watch it reprocess 11,000 modules # that haven't changed since yesterday Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Three wasted phases — resolution, transformation, optimization — on code that the tool already understood. Every restart. Every CI run. Every branch switch. The architectural flaw: build starts → analyzes deps → transforms modules → exits build starts → analyzes deps → transforms modules → exits build starts → analyzes deps → transforms modules → exits Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode No memory. No accumulation. Just stateless execution on repeat. What Ionify does instead: build starts → checks persistent graph → retrieves CAS result → done The dependency graph survives the process.…
