AI Analysis

●●SolidBig BrainShip It

Upstash-compatible Redis on Cloudflare's free tier with 5GB storage.

Strengths
  • Durable Objects + SQLite translation layer means zero server management overhead.
  • Supports pipelining and 30+ Redis commands including expiry, hashes, lists, sets.
  • One-click deploy button with JWT auth — actually usable today for small projects.
Weaknesses
  • No Windows support mentioned, and Durable Objects have latency constraints for global apps.
  • Upstash already solves this — differentiation is purely cost, not capability.
Target Audience

Backend developers, Cloudflare Workers users

Post Description

meowdis gives you an Upstash compatible Redis API that you can deploy yourself on Cloudflare + the Workers free plan gives you 5 GBs of free storage! Supports both single commands and pipelined requests.

Supported Redis commands:

strings: GET, SET, DEL, EXISTS, INCR, INCRBY, DECR, DECRBY, MGET, MSET

expiry: EXPIRE, EXPIREAT, TTL, PTTL, PERSIST

hashes: HGET, HSET, HDEL, HGETALL, HEXISTS, HKEYS, HVALS

lists: LPUSH, RPUSH, LPOP, RPOP, LRANGE, LLEN

sets: SADD, SREM, SMEMBERS, SISMEMBER, SCARD

utility: PING, DBSIZE, FLUSHDB, KEYS

SET options: NX, XX, GET, EX, PX, EXAT, PXAT, KEEPTTL

EXPIRE / EXPIREAT options: NX, XX, GT, LT

LPOP / RPOP options: count

Repository / deployment instructions: https://github.com/zion-off/meowdis

How it works:

1) there’s a compute layer (this can be anything) and a storage layer (a cloudflare durable object instance) 2) you send redis commands to the compute layer using either a) rest b) or upstash sdks (see upstash docs) 3) compute layer translates redis commands to sqlite queries 4) storage layer executes them in a transaction 5)results are returned back to you

post script disclaimer -- this started out as a side project where i was trying to work around fun constriants i made up (serverless, free, etc.). if you try it out and run into problems, bug reports are welcome !!

Accord – Serverless Discord Clone Running on Cloudflare Workers

It runs an entire real‑time chat stack on Cloudflare: Durable Objects hold per‑room socket/state, D1 stores message history, R2 handles uploads, and there's mesh WebRTC plus push notifications — neat as a systems demo. Clever and practical as a reference architecture, but mesh video and Durable Object quotas expose scaling tradeoffs if you try to run a large public Discord competitor.
