Deno's celld: Self-hosted Distributed Durable Objects with SQLite and S3

celld is an open-source daemon that enables self-hosted execution of Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects. It treats each durable object as an independent SQLite database, coordinating state across nodes via a shared S3-compatible bucket without requiring a control plane or consensus protocol. This architecture naturally shards data, eliminating the contention and blast-radius risks associated with shared database instances.

Each Durable Object is an isolated SQLite DB, removing shared contention and blast-radius risks.
Nodes coordinate solely through an S3-compatible bucket, avoiding complex consensus or control planes.
Embeds V8 to execute Wrangler bundles, allowing Cloudflare Workers logic to run on your own infrastructure.
Idle cells hibernate to near-zero resource usage, optimizing cost for sporadic workloads.
