Workers Durable Objects Beta: A New Approach to Stateful Serverless
 
BDES-1018_Cloudflare_Object_Workers_Birthday_Week_Blog_Hero.png
 
Workers Durable Objects is a new serverless state solution for Cloudflare Workers that allows for consistent edge storage and real-time collaboration. State can be kept in-memory and altered in real-time by multiple clients simultaneously at the data center most central to everyone, and then saved for long-term storage when clients finish. This makes it possible to build things like gaming servers or document editing apps with real-time collaboration completely serverlessly.

“Durable Objects provide a truly serverless approach to storage and state: consistent, low-latency, distributed, yet effortless to maintain and scale. They also provide an easy way to coordinate between clients, whether it be users in a particular chat room, editors of a particular document, or IoT devices in a particular smart home. Durable Objects are the missing piece in the Workers stack that makes it possible for whole applications to run entirely on the edge, with no centralized "origin" server at all.”

Migrating cdnjs to Serverless with Workers KV (Cloudflare Blog)
Cdnjs, a CDN for JavaScript libraries built on top of Cloudflare, had a wake-up call when a technician accidentally took out cdnjs’ primary data center for 4 hours. They decided to migrate the project to Cloudflare Workers and leverage Workers KV to store the JavaScript libraries distributedly, mitigating the problems they ran into by depending on servers in a single location.
