Durable Objects — now Generally Available
Full Stack Week highlights how developers are leveraging Cloudflare's network for global applications. Durable Objects, now generally available, simplify state coordination across Workers running at the edge. Unlike traditional databases, Durable Objects provide a simpler programming paradigm and can handle heavy concurrency without frequent transaction rollbacks. They enable developers to write JavaScript classes with unique instances across Cloudflare's network, allowing for in-order message processing and strongly consistent storage API. Applications built on Durable Objects are easy to scale and manage, making them ideal for global applications.
