Fly.io's uptime/availability isn't something I trust and I am not alone. Part of what makes cloudflare durable objects great is the sheer availability and consistency at a true global scale

Took me a bit to understand what Wire does, but then it clicked. we’ve built something similar at a smaller scale inside R2, though right now it’s only for .md files. I can see this becoming much more useful once the docs get heavier: large PDFs, XLSX files, images, etc. At that point you probably need embeddings, reranking etc. But I think agents are smart enough to write scripts to retrieve what they want if we run them on a sandbox(which we are trying to do currently). bookmarking this for now. Good write-up though!

Why do all this work and then let an ai write the blog post.

The objects are durable, but not endurable.

The thought of moving back to Fly after CF is completely absurd to me, each to their own. May your downtime be minimal...
