What is Cloudflare Durable Objects
Cloudflare Durable Objects are serverless actors that maintain persistent state while coordinating requests globally. Unlike stateless Workers (which respond to individual requests), Durable Objects hold a single in-memory state instance, persist to disk, and route requests to the same instance across the globe. Ideal for real-time collaboration, sessions, and transactional workflows. Key concepts:
