Are you planning on releasing any of the architectural details behind this service?

If you’re truly replicating to every PoP that’s quite a fan-out and I can see why you’re limited to 1 write per second per key!

Yes, we will. This is something we built internally and we'll talk about architecture at some point.

This is really cool. Webapps are basically programs that are executed across the network; having fine-grained control over what happens at each layer (client, client service worker, edge nodes, proxy server, origin server) means more choices and complexity, but also so much more power.

The question I would ask is: once you have the ability to run code and store data on the network itself (which Cloudflare effectively is), why do you need an origin at all?
