Node.js creator Ryan Dahl released celld, an open source, self-hosted implementation of Cloudflare Durable Objects compatible with its JavaScript APIs but using independent backend storage like Amazon S3. Celld promises significantly lower running costs and independence from Cloudflare's infrastructure for stateful serverless applications.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Deep Tech: Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can break free from pricey and locked serverless runtimes by adopting celld, which offers compatible Durable Objects on your own cloud storage. Start testing celld now to cut your production costs and avoid vendor lock-in with Cloudflare backend.
