Is it possible to use PartyKit without Cloudflare? Such as hosting your own workerd instance? Is there any documentation anywhere for this?

- ensignavenger 3y agoI should note, I spent quite a bit of time looking at the official docs and couldn't find an answer for sure right away. It seems like Cloudflare is the only officially supported option (either through the PartyKit managed service or direct). While I might consider using Cloudflare, I wouldn't be willing to build an app in such a way as to depend on Cloudflare. If Cloudflare changes pricing, or comes under political pressure to terminate my account, or my business changes such that the Cloudflare offering is no longer suitable, I want a way to quickly migrate. It does seem that the main pieces are there and open source, but would likely require some amount of work to figure out and get into production.
- CharlesW 3y ago> Is there any documentation anywhere for this? PartyKit is open source (https://github.com/partykit/partykit/ https://github.com/partykit/partykit/, MIT), so you could create your own back-end. The Socket.IO folks appear to have done this: https://blog.partykit.io/posts/party-io-a-socket-io-backend-for-partykit/ https://blog.partykit.io/posts/party-io-a-socket-io-backend-...
- ensignavenger 3y agoThanks! I will look into that. I knew it was Open Source and that it would be possible to create my own backend, I was just wondering if it had been actually been done/documented. This link answers my question, and PartyKit will go on my radar for future evaluation and possible use! :)
