WebRTC: Serverless – This Time’s For Real!
summary
Claims a working prototype that tunnels existing HTTP stacks over WebRTC by using a serviceworker + main-thread glue to convert fetches into WebRTC datachannels, maps Node/Express requests to remote peers, and runs on Raspberry Pi devices as servers. Uses STUN/TURN/ICE and a "dealer" signaling server; observes about 20% fallback to relay. Prototype library is ~1.5 kB gzipped, six to nine months of work and hundreds of thousands of devices in experiments. This yields peer-to-peer HTTP without rewriting GraphQL or client frameworks.
