Congrats on launch! Super cool product and I feel like trying it out in the SaaS i'm building. Few initial questions:

`Our multiplayer WebSocket servers live on the edge` -> from your Jobs page I realised that you use AWS. Does that mean that it's AWS cloud that you're using? Have you considered using Cloudflare Durable Objects(DO) for infrastructure - what are the thoughts for DO suitability for your use case (besides it currently being in beta phase)?

Congrats once again on shipping something world needed badly!

Upd: removed the question which was a bit illogical :)

Would love to hear an answer to this, I've read a bit about Durable Objects but not got a chance to play with them yet. I'd be really interested to hear if they evaluated fly.io as well. It seems like a great fit for their model of running full blown app servers in many regions.

I just answered the Durable Objects question here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27998674

I didn't evaluated fly.io but from their website, it definitely looks promising! I will try it for sure!

Thanks for the kind words :)

Nice catch! All the examples that you see on our website are using Cloudflare Durable Objects! But because they are limited, we also have a version of our server that works on AWS some of our customers.
