If you're curious about Durable Objects but not the complexity:
ActorCore.org has been my obsession for the past month to make DO as simple as possible

🤌 i talked to sooo many devs to refine ActorCore v0.7's new api. the same code in Durable Objects is now 4x longer
✅ pure functions, no more `extends Actor`
✅ split actors x-file
✅ short & fun to write
try this thing and tell me it's not the best way to write realtime apps

🍔 just released: ActorCore for @bun.sh
build scalable collaborative apps, realtime backends, and ai agents easily
and holy moly Bun runs ~2x faster than Node.js (benchmarks below ⬇️)
