You might be interested in Plane (https://plane.dev/ / https://github.com/jamsocket/plane), which we sometimes describe as a sort of Durable Object-like abstraction that can run anywhere containers can.

(I'm also one of the articles you linked, thanks for the shoutout!)

I am interested, and I really enjoy your work on Browsertech! I haven't needed Plane above/over what Cloudflare is providing, but I've got it in the back of my mind as an option.

I've long hoped other providers might jump on the Durable Objects bandwagon and provide competing functionality so we're not locked in. Plane/Jamsocket looks like one way to go about mitigating that risk to a certain extent.
