Does there happen to be a local simulator one could use to build out an app?

I don't know about a full-blown local sim, but perhaps https://blog.cloudflare.com/trailblazing-a-development-envir... is close enough to what you have in mind?

Also perhaps try playing around in https://cloudflareworkers.com/

I don't believe Workers _Durable Objects_ specifically is available to play around with outside of the beta, however - apologies if that's what you actually wanted to play with. We're working hard on building and perfecting it into a product that everyone will be able to use soon, so keep an eye on this space.

Is there a specific usecase you have in mind? I'd love to hear about it!

I had a little e-vite app I was trying to build with the KV store, but the consistency model wasn’t a great fit. I’ve sent an email in for the Durable Objects beta, but it’d be nice to have access to a simulator of some sort just so I can see if it’s a better fit.
Let's talk consistency models and more! Is there a good email I could reach you at - or alternatively, could you send me an email with your requirements (haneef@)?
There’s one in my profile.
I started building one of these as a weekend project on top of SQLite for funsies but I abandoned it during the election chaos. Oh well.
