The creator of Node.js has released a project that brings Cloudflare's Durable Objects concept to self-hosted infrastructure. The project, called Celld, allows developers to use the same stateful technique without relying on Cloudflare's platform.
According to The Register, the release is described as offering the same stateful trick, now with your own infrastructure. The report does not provide further technical details or a release date for the project.
