QA
summary
Built a real-time system on the Edge that serves tens of thousands of daily real-time users while staying under $5 a month on Workers, using Durable Objects for single-coordination state and pausing with ~30 seconds of CPU per activation but effectively infinite life via persistence. D1 is currently alpha (SQLite-on-edge) and not production ready. Deployment options include Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Fastly, Fly, with sharding and hibernation planned to scale connected users.
