Finally!

So happy to see support for running durable objects outside of one provider. Upvoted.

The "durable object" concept has been repeatably demonstrated to be a valuable abstraction.

"Each object is its own SQLite database, addressed by name and replicated to an S3-compatible bucket you own" -- this concept can take you a long way, both in its power and simplicity.

I believe Restate has something which can work similarly: https://docs.restate.dev/foundations/services

There was also Jamsocket and Plane, though it looks like they've shut down after acquisition: https://github.com/jamsocket/plane

This seems to be the first one which is providing drop-in compatibility for Cloudflare's JS-side APIs, including JSRPC etc.

This concept has been around for a long time.
