celld/DOs are awesome.
added an old school irc chat channel to my blog recently and realized that you can literally add chat to every interface for actually $0 (as in free) with a good local dev experience now
you never have to read alone. the web can be open AND social.
Introducing celld: a self-hosted, distributed Durable Objects and Workers implementation - celld = V8 + S3 + SQLite + LTX+ Tokio - programmed with exactly the Cloudflare Workers/DO JavaScript APIs and config - order of magnitude cheaper at scale - writes are durable before they're acknowledged, RPO=0 - only depends on an S3 compatible bucket - no other infrastructure - ~4 MB memory per cell instance overhead - hibernated cells cost ~nothing, just their S3 storage - open source, Apache 2 licensed
