Durable objects seem so cool but the pricing always scares me. (Specifically, having to worry about getting hibernation right.) They’d be a great fit for our yjs document based strategy, but while everything in prod still works on plain ol redis and Postgres, it’s hard to justify an exploration.

What scares me is it is super specific to Cloudflare

What is your option if you want to eject to another cloud?

For the specific example of a Yjs backend, I happen to be working on one that can be hosted either on Cloudflare or as a native process. We’ve had people running in production migrate from cloudflare to native just by swapping out the URL they connect to in their application config.
