Workers Durable Objects
blog.cloudflare.comDurable Objects provide a truly serverless approach to storage and state: consistent, low-latency, distributed, yet effortless to maintain and scale. They also enable coordination and real-time collaboration between clients. Now, this announcement is the one I'm most excited about. Even though it is in closed beta, and they haven't let me in yet.

Also, this brings WebSocket support for Workers as well, which I am really looking forward to.
