    Hi guys, creator of lockable here - the easiest way to think of lockable is as `flock` for when you don’t have a shared file system. You can use it to control concurrent access to resources or to ensure only a single instance of a process runs at any given time. Your processes can acquire, refresh and release locks via simple HTTP requests, so it’s language/framework agnostic. E.g. with `curl`: $ curl https://lockable.dev/api/acquire/my-lock-name { "response": true //or false, if the lock wasn’t available } $ curl…

    I've been developing game backends for several years, using and designing a lot of code. They all about calculations, synchronization with front-end data, and database data, and try to ensure consistency, atomicity, and high response, etc. However, these codes and frameworks have always had problems such as very complicated APIs, incomplete or non-existent ACID, multiple calls to RPC, and non-real-time full or semi-full data landing. So, we created Lockval Engine. An easy-to-use, ACID, distributed, DOP, multi-language support backend engine. Here are some online demos that will give you a…

    Hey HN! Today we're launching ActorCore (https://actorcore.org/), a stateful serverless framework that enables deploying Cloudflare Durable Object-like workloads to any cloud. If you're unfamiliar with stateful serverless: it's like the actor model, where each actor maintains its own isolated, persistent state. (Think Lambda functions with local storage & runs indefinitely.) It enables easily building long-running, realtime, durable, or local-first backends with the flexibility of serverless infrastructure. The most widely used implementation is Cloudflare Durable Objects,…

    Hey HN, I'm so excited to finally share with you what I've been working on recently. One month ago I asked my audience what they wanted to learn about Websites, APIs and Servers security [0]. From the feedback, I've identified a few recurring pain points that I've started to address (and many more) in this new book. From theory to practice, you will learn how low-level network and security protocols work. How to configure Cloudflare to secure and scale your web applications. How to create serverless applications and which database to chose with serverless functions. How to optimize your…

    Hi HN, I built Verani, an experimental realtime SDK for Cloudflare Actors (Durable Objects). The goal is to bring a familiar, event-based DX (rooms, emit, channels, lifecycle hooks) to Cloudflare Durable Objects, while handling hibernation correctly. It focuses on - Socket.io-like semantics on top of Durable Objects - Proper Actor hibernation handling (WebSockets survive, state is restored) - Typed API with explicit tradeoffs. It’s early and experimental, but functional. I built it mainly to explore DX and state management patterns on Cloudflare Actors, and I’d love feedback from people…

    Inspired by the recent justfuckingusetailwind.com, I built a similar "love letter" to the Cloudflare ecosystem. I find myself reaching for Workers, R2, D1, and KV for almost every project lately, so I wanted to capture that sentiment in a single, slightly over-the-top page. It’s a simple side project, but the stack is: - Vite + TypeScript - Biome + Ultracite - Deployed (obviously) on Cloudflare First draft in Claude, the copy was drafted with Grok to get that specific tone, then I used Google's AI Studio to accelerate the build with touch up's in Cursor.
