Stop polyfilling fetch in your npm package
Youโre putting together an npm library that involves fetching data. There are many popular packages that can help you (axios, superagent, etc.) but in the spirit of not shipping bulky/redundant JS code to the browser, and the progress which browsers and JavaScript has made over the years, you try to use the platform whenever possible.

How to Handle Async Code in JavaScript
You are using Superagent and RSS parser to get the task done. Superagent and RSS parser both support callback and the Promises API (coming up next). If this code was written for the backend with Node.js, we wouldn't need the CORS proxy. It is needed for the frontend.

Asynchronous api calls with redux-saga
There is a part Api.fetchUser that is not explained, thus I don't quiet understand if that is something we need to handle with libraries like axios or superagent? or is that something else. And are saga effects like call, put etc.. equivalents of get, post? if so, why are they named that way? Essentially I am trying to figure out a correct way to perform a simple post call to my api at url example.com/sessions and pass it data like { email: 'email', password: 'password' }

Trying to express a return type in generic and an inferred parameter type
I've used got, and my initial approach to this would have been to add a beforeRequest hook to strip a leading slash. I like the idea of handling this at compile time, though my proposed solution below (particularly the error messages) aren't the prettiest.

API Client Design Across Languages - Part 2 - Making Requests
Like Python, our Node.js SDK is using a well-known library axios. While it is not quite as ubiquitous as Python's requests, it is very commonly used. For instance, it is used by Auth0 (if you're looking for a different example, Shopify makes use of Got). You can find it configured here. The shared client code takes reqeust and response transform functions for each resource to convert the repsonses to objects.

I'm new at Twilio and I'm wondering why I get an error trying to add the got dependency.
Ah, yes, my apologies. I think the cause is that the latest version of got is not compatible with anything below node v14. I do see the error that you do when I have node v12 selected in my function service, but with v14 I'm able to deploy just fine. Do you still see that error when you click "Deploy" with Node v14 and got@latest?

7 Ways to Improve Node.js Performance at Scale
At the moment, axios does not support setting a connection timeout separately from a read timeout, which could be limiting in some scenarios. If you need this functionality, you can try the got library - it allows for separate read and connection timeout specifications.
