Why we're moving off Cloudflare Durable Objects

Why do all this work and then let an ai write the blog post.

Took me a bit to understand what Wire does, but then it clicked. we’ve built something similar at a smaller scale inside R2, though right now it’s only for .md files.

I can see this becoming much more useful once the docs get heavier: large PDFs, XLSX files, images, etc. At that point you probably need embeddings, reranking etc. But I think agents are smart enough to write scripts to retrieve what they want if we run them on a sandbox(which we are trying to do currently). bookmarking this for now.

Good write-up though!

Well that is an instant nope from me. Fly.io's uptime/availability isn't something I trust and I am not alone. Part of what makes cloudflare durable objects great is the sheer availability and consistency at a true global scale
