Kedge launches globally distributed serverless platform with forkable VM snapshots

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from Hacker News ·

Kedge, a new serverless platform, uses forkable VM snapshots and a warm pool tree to create code sandboxes or scale service instances in 3ms. It features a CRDT-based replicated SQLite database for stateful apps, and a demo Hacker News clone was built in 60 lines of Markdown. The platform is currently in preview across 11 regions with no billing yet.

Meridian48 take
Kedge's combination of fast VM orchestration and built-in distributed SQLite is ambitious, but its reliance on eventual consistency may limit use cases requiring strong consistency.
