Durable Objects now Generally Available

Quick plug I&#x27;ll drop in here (I manage Cloudflare&#x27;s Developer Advocacy team) - in addition to Durable Objects reaching GA, we also released a great open-source codebase today to help scale your Durable Objects-based projects.<p>It has built-in sharding and communication between connections&#x2F;shards - basically how we would recommend people build with DO if they want to hit the ground running.<p>Check it out on GitHub! <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cloudflare&#x2F;dog" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cloudflare&#x2F;dog</a>

Their chat demo is very nice, i&#x27;m not a javascript or a webdev guy, but i&#x27;m use to see bloat everywhere whenever someone mentions web stuff<p>&gt; wrangler publish<p>&gt; What are the dependencies?<p>&gt; This demo code does not have any dependencies, aside from Cloudflare Workers (for the server side, chat.mjs) and a modern web browser (for the client side, chat.html). Deploying the code requires Wrangler.<p>I wish more people would care about that kind of details more<p>Well done

Just waiting on edge containers [1] now. Yes, I know the caveats, that it&#x27;s not for lifting and shifting existing web apps. But I have a backend processing use case that would be a good fit.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.cloudflare.com&#x2F;containers-on-the-edge&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.cloudflare.com&#x2F;containers-on-the-edge&#x2F;</a>

This seems like it could be a great platform to flesh out the collaborative Svelte REPL I’ve been working on. It’s using CRDTs over websockets with YJS driving Monaco, and I’ve been fiddling with different ways to keep track of rooms and users while keeping it serverless on the JAMStack. I’ve got Supabase handling auth and data storage, but this could be great glue for the final pieces if I’m understanding DO correctly, and even replace a lot of the need for Postgres outside of Auth.

It would be interesting to build something with this on top of SQLite to make a globally distributed fault tolerant SQLite.

Has anybody tried this and can share their experiences? It sounds really cool, but it&#x27;s usually the edge cases that determine whether something like this is actually good or not. Thanks!

Alimine error&#x27;

so is this a replacement for cosmos DB?

yowzee wowzee :O
