Is this exactly what cloudflare's workers is doing? [0]

I love the fact that I only need to think of the business logic.

Development without the need for VMs and obscure configuration scripts feels — and is in fact very productive. I don't think I will want to use anything else for hosting my back ends.

I'm really excited by Cloudflare Workers. I hope to get a chance to build something tangible with it soon. The developer experience with Wrangler is superb and paired with Durable Objects and KV you got disk and in-memory storage covered. I'm a fan of and have used AWS for 10+ years but wiring everything together still feels like a chore, and Serverless framework and similar tools just hide these details which will inevitable haunt you at some point.

Cloudflare recently announced database partners. Higher-level options for storage and especially streaming would be welcome improvements to me. Macrometa covers a lot of ground but sadly it seems like you need to be on their enterprise tier to use the interesting parts that don't overlap with KV/DO, such as streams. [0]

I played with recently launched support for ES modules and custom builds in Wrangler/Cloudflare Workers the other day together with ClojureScript and found the experience quite delightful. [1]
