I'm sooooooo tempted to try this for my playalong web app but I'm super nervous about the pricing scalability, pusherjs pricing was too high so I self hosted soketi but they haven't pushed anything to their git I. 10 months

I’d be curious what it would cost at scale - very hard to calculate these things when you have no idea how many requests you’ll use

+1 serverless' biggest woes is the difficulty to reason about scale, esp when factoring in read/writes

i have a friend on DO whose bill tripled after realizing that DO get randomly killed when the hosts upgrade, so they had to snapshot frequently

daveroda.bsky.social•35 days ago

not super familiar with digital ocean, but it sounds like they were storing state somewhere they weren’t supposed to

Cloudflare states that workers cost 5$ per month minimum. Can we cap it to not go above say 10$ 😃

No nasty surprises from a hobby project..

we built open-source durable objects. use our free plan or self-host on a vps without worry https://github.com/rivet-gg/rivet

opiispanen.bsky.social•35 days ago

Is this a competitor for cloudflare workers or to the mentioned partykit?

nathanflurry.com•35 days ago

both! we've built the low-level infra from scratch & provide a thin partykit-esque library to make realtime & state easier.

if you want the low-level workers experience, see – https://rivet.gg/docs/internals/runtime

if you want a simple realtime experience out of the box, see – https://rivet.gg/docs/manage

I probably give up too easily, I remember fooling around with websockets and being unable to get them to work.

nathanflurry.com•35 days ago

we're building an open-source durable objects, trying to build a developer experience as easy as socketio, would love feedback! https://github.com/rivet-gg/rivet

haha i was just going to ask of there are any open source project avail.

If I can download the results as an Excel workbook, sign me up!

Have you tried Stately Sky?

The experience is still in beta, but I had a lot of fun tinkering with it.

Multiplayer systems can get a bit complicated, so I love being able to visualize the logic.

ohhh I had not seen this yet - seems pretty neat!

tyler-morrison.github.io•36 days ago

I had a blast using it to build a silly card game app.

@davidkpiano.bsky.social was kind enough to invite me to demo the logic on their livestream.

Would love to deploy it in the wild, but raising little toddlers has killed my side-project velocity 😆

One million pixels?

Oh cool - hadn't heard of it, but handy to have in the toolkit. I did some realtime stuff with https://findfreddy.com/ for the first time, this would've been good to have there.

tinybase.bsky.social•35 days ago

Now make it work local first 😎

onmax.bsky.social•34 days ago

this is amazing!

I can't wait to see it in NuxtHub. The team is working on adding Support to Cloudflare Workers

Opened up my local vote server to the internet for a bit. Risky but fun
