Should I open source this?
Been building this uptime monitor that's based on @CloudflareDev Workers, which makes it incredibly cheap to run. In fact it's 51x(!) cheaper per check than the popular @checklyHQ

- Cloudflare is 100x more fun to build on than anything else. There is no stress worrying about infra. I just created a service, deployed it with no regard for location or capacity, connected a KV and DB within minutes, and now it’s serving 200+ users without fail.
- v1 is here. Get it up and running in less than 10 minutes. More updates coming soon.Should I open source this? Been building this uptime monitor that's based on @CloudflareDev Workers, which makes it incredibly cheap to run. In fact it's 51x(!) cheaper per check than the popular @checklyHQ
- The CTO of a well known cloud provider told me that @CloudflareDev Workers are not serverless. Yet I spend $0 when my functions are not running, and when they do run it's 99.7% cheaper due to CPU time billing. It's amazing how fluid Worker's cost, DX, and scale can be.
- I tried using @resend scheduled emails, but they are limited to 72 hours in advance. With 93 LOC and @Cloudflare Durable Objects, there is no limit. L142 is where the magic happens.

- Replying to @theoSame vibe 😅 And he did respond with valuable feedback, so that was nice
- Replying to @veggie_ericSo you just shifted your working hours? Weird flex
- I have a similar conspiracy. Vercel’s leadership downplaying MCP since they didn’t get to market first — whereas CFs durable object did and became the best way to build remote MCPs. DOs work extremely well as a stateful serverless, per user compute unit. Perfect for MCP. VercelHTTP Streaming is a conspiracy to kill MCP.
- Replying to @peer_richwe're living in the golden age of AI. useful enough and fun, but before the copyright neutering and government regulation
- Replying to @leerob and @leeerobDisingenuous to say serverless charges for idle time, when really you’re talking about AWS Lambda. Cloudflare only charges for CPU time, which really makes Serverless a lot more compelling. I know you’re trying to push “Fluid” compute but you should really take this down and redo
- I have big plans to democratize monitoring your website, your APIs, your whatever. Unapologetically 100% Cloudflare because it's the best place to do this. Not a VPS. Not AWS.
- Replying to @jonbeckmanCurrently tracks latency and status code. Supports OpsGenie alerts when consecutive failures reached your threshold.
- New Durable Object pattern unlocked. Date gated DOs that self destruct after their work day is finished:
