Why Mailchimp campaign stats trim for analytics card is hard without an edge proxy

Calling Mailchimp directly from Retool risks leaked secrets, CORS blocks, or oversized JSON that slows rendering.

Only if secrets stay off the device. RealComposer injects credentials on the server edge so clients never hold production keys.

Does RealComposer add latency?

Cloudflare edge execution adds a few milliseconds; caching can answer repeat calls in under 10ms.
