Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
> do you have compute, do you have load balancing, do you have rbac, do you have DB? do you have storage?
Yes, they have all of those things. They have a pretty decent webpage that goes into more detail. https://www.cloudflare.com/
Durable Objects[0] let you store data on the edge and provide a lot more than a key/value store. This is a primitive you could build arbitrary databases on top of.
The edge chat demo[1] is a working, scalable real-time chat service hosted entirely on the edge using Workers + Durable Objects, even featuring per-user cross-room rate limiting. As written, it can support millions of chat rooms and users, and it's about 500 lines of code.[2]
The benefit here is that it's much easier to build scalable distributed systems on Workers and Durable Objects than on other platforms. The fact that they run on the edge as close to end users as possible is just a bonus.
