miniflare VS e2core

Recently Cloudflare introduces Miniflare. As its name suggests, Miniflare is a feature-rich but miniature version of Cloudflare worker. Miniflare is a simulator that provides an environment for developing and testing Cloudflare worker scripts locally. Miniflare is written in typescript and supports most of the Cloudflare worker features like the KV database, durable objects, WebSockets, etc.

Another implementation of the above is Cloudfare workers you might be capable of grasp some ideas from here https://miniflare.dev

Is there an ETA on Miniflare v3? Ran into a problem recently using overlapping keys with forward slashes as they were not sanitized properly: https://github.com/cloudflare/miniflare/issues/167

The KV API is only available on Cloudflare Workers. But, during development, Rakkas runs our app on Node.js. Fortunately, the Miniflare project has a KV implementation for Node. The other two packages that we've installed (@miniflare/kv and @miniflare/storage-memory) are what we need to be able to use the KV API during development. Let's create a src/kv-mock.ts file and create a local KV store to store our ublog posts ("twits") while testing:

I used hono (a wrapper around miniflare) to handle some of the boilerplate around request and routing logic. It's also refreshingly fast! 🔥

The simple explanation is that I'm proposing use of the Service Worker API. Cloudflare offers a flat, free, 100k requests a day if you can keep it cutting edge, has local development and testing options with miniflare and a key/value (KV) store.

When we run the dev script, this will ensure that the local runtime environment Miniflare will bind a KV with the name sessionStorage to our Pages function.

Slshx is a library for building strongly-typed Discord commands (https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application...) that run on Cloudflare Workers (https://workers.cloudflare.com/), using a React-inspired syntax (hooks and JSX). It supports all Discord command types/options, autocomplete and interactive message components. During development, it automatically deploys your commands whenever you change your code.

I created this because I think Cloudflare Workers are a great fit for hosting Discord commands, but there wasn't an easy way to get started that had a fun development experience. I also wanted to see what a Miniflare-first (https://github.com/cloudflare/miniflare) library could look like.

> If one writes Go or Rust, there are much better ways to run them than targeting WASM

wasm has its place, especially for contained workloads that can be wrapped in its strict capability boundaries (think, file-encoding jobs that shouldn't access anything else but said files: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29112713).

> Containers are still the defacto standard.

wasmedge [0], atmo [1], krustlet [2], blueboat [3] and numerous other projects are turning up the heat [4]!

One of the first things we've used it for internally is to run one-off isolated tests on WebAssembly modules instead of feeding them through a production Atmo[0] instance. It basically serves as a dumb pipe for feeding data in and out of a Wasm module.

Excited to see Atmo on there 🙂 https://github.com/suborbital/atmo

My open source focus for this year is building Atmo, and there is one aspect of the process that I would like to highlight. Since early 2020 I knew roughly what I wanted to build. The specifics of that thing changed over time, but the core idea of a server-side WebAssembly platform was consistent all throughout the year. I didn't write a single line of code for Atmo until late October, even though that was what I wanted to build the entire time. I want to talk about why.

I am also open to any and all contributions from the community. I am more than happy to meet with anyone interested in working alongside me to build these capabilities so that I can help get you started developing Atmo, Vektor, Grav, Hive, and Subo. Developers with no experience working with WebAssembly, distributed systems, web services, or Go are encouraged to join and I will do whatever I can to help you learn what's needed to contribute. Open Source is not just about developing in the open, it's also about helping others learn.

With SUFA systems, multiple ASGs are created, each designated as a capability group. Each capability group is given access to the resources required for the associated function namespace to operate (such as the datastore or secrets), and can then scale independently of one another. Since the application's functions are decoupled entirely from one another, it's possible for some functions to run on the host that receives the request, and functions from particular namespaces to be meshed into other capability groups. A SUFA framework such as Atmo is responsible for handling the meshed communication, completely absorbing the complexity.

The SUFA pattern was designed in concert with Atmo, which is an all-in-one framework upon which SUFA systems can be built. Atmo uses a file known as a 'Directive' to describe all aspects of your application, including how to chain functions to handle requests. You can write your functions using several languages to be run atop Atmo, as it is built to use WebAssembly modules as the unit of compute. Atmo will automatically scale out to handle your application load, and includes all sorts of tooling and built-in best practices to ensure you're getting the best performance and security without needing to write a single line of boilerplate ever again.
