Workers Durable Objects Beta: A New Approach to Stateful Serverless

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced Durable Objects, a new technology designed to provide a truly serverless approach to storage and state management. This feature enables developers to manage state with strong consistency and coordinate in real-time between multiple clients entirely on the edge without needing an origin server. Durable Objects are unique instances of a class that can have persistent state stored on disk, providing consistent, low-latency, distributed storage while eliminating the need for centralized servers. This technology is currently in closed beta and aims to make real-time collaboration more accessible across the web.
