- myshapeprotocolSelf-hosted and distributed durable objects are a huge step forward for maintaining reliable state across decentralized nodes. Great architecture!
- jitlwhat is the difference between celld and Cloudflare Workers open source version workerd?https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd
- khalidxFinally!So happy to see support for running durable objects outside of one provider. Upvoted.The "durable object" concept has been repeatably demonstrated to be a valuable abstraction."Each object is its own SQLite database, addressed by name and replicated to an S3-compatible bucket you own" -- this concept can take you a long way, both in its power and simplicity.
- hhthrowaway1230I like it! Would be great if I could run locally from the start without configuring an s3 for easy playing/prototyping
- vmg12All we need is a way to run these on spot instances
- jauntywundrkindWell that couldn't have been any more timely. Did they know? Were they keeping this in a back pocket for the time?CloudFlare OS: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-os/ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49182996And yes, celld is isolates! The very lightweight within v8 isolation boundary. Hence the "very low idle cost". The deno team rolled their own new runtime! This one without deno_core! Shout out to this excellent 2022 post: https://deno.com/blog/roll-your-own-javascript-runtime https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35819990 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35819990It's super super exciting having an age where many pieces of software can all run with low profiles. Very timely, again, for the unbelievably order of magnitude (and thats 10 to the not 2 to the, for you fellow computer nerds) ish ram crunch we are in. Next up, at some point, ideally we get some v8-like runtimes where we can share libraries across multiple isolates! Separating the shared code from the shared data, so we have multiple instances of the library, seems much harder. (It feels like wasm has some/much promise here and I eagerly await clearer signals that code-sharing while sandboxing is indeed possible)

- zuzulului donno...i have some doubts about thiscloudflare gives you that instant geo-sync across the world that is hard to beatwith Celld do i need to buy bare metal in major continents
- q3k> addressed by name and replicated to an S3-compatible bucket you own; nodes coordinate through that bucket alone, with no control plane or consensus... but that S3 _is_ the control plane and consensus layer, no? You're just pushing this down the stack to whoever runs that S3 clone.
