Alchemy Project Enables Self-hosting Durable Objects on AWS
samgoodwin89 · x · 2026-08-07
The Alchemy open-source project has introduced a new feature allowing developers to self-host Cloudflare Durable Objects on AWS infrastructure.
- Technical Implementation: Built on celld, it introduces a top-level Celld namespace. A Fleet represents the infrastructure (nodes + an S3 bucket) running a Worker deployment, which contains the cells (Durable Objects).
- Hosting Flexibility: The hosting layer is pluggable; AWS.providers() contributes the aws-ecs fleet host.
- Developer Experience: Developers can define a Fleet, deploy a Worker, and inline a cell in a single file. The Worker's fetch requests run natively on the fleet's nodes with native access to the cells.
