“Stateful edge servers are the right abstraction for real-time. The Cloudflare acquisition ensures long-term viability.”
“Expensive at scale but visual testing ROI is real. Catching UI regressions before production saves time and trust.”
“Durable Objects made simple. For real-time features without WebSocket infrastructure complexity, PartyKit is excellent.”
