Rescaling limits were first introduced by Jan Kiwi to study degenerations of rational maps of degree at least two. Building on the work of Luo and Favre–Gong, we explain how rescaling limits can serve as a substitute for a good compactification of $Rat_d$, the moduli space of degree d rational maps. In particular, this framework allows one to promote pointwise results to uniform statements in a systematic way.
