I always used to think about this kind of approach of cloud hosting where anyone can provide their systems as a hosting machine to the cloud company, and from that they can earn, it’s interesting to see that it is actually getting implemented
So basically I have also think of this idea in the past, but there are some challenges , 1. Is it really secure to store my code on all the machines available in the network, your code might get stoles, that might leak company's data 2. If some node found a way to you know route traffic to themselves, like in India I become part of network and I make requests and all requests comes to my node, did I found a way to make more money? 3. what if some node changes the code and serves something malicious, when this data gets validated, do we need to ping all the nodes to check for cached code in the network The idea is pretty interesting but the challenges are more interesting.
What I think is going on here is that the CF acts as a proxy in order to keep node connections private. Basically: User Request -> CF Proxy -> IPFS layer -> Fleek Node -> SSR request User Response
this is really cool, not sure about they would maintain any sort of stateful behaviour if needed. This concept decentralized hosting with perhaps some backing of algorithm which the folks who were promising reliability on spot hosts could be real and viable open source and decentralized solution to hosting.
Yeah this might be a very good concept. Especially if they receive enough nodes to have good redundancy. What I don't get is why these nodes are essentially running workerd locally instead of just plain old Node.JS? Perhaps for a more distributed approach as Vercel has already open sourced their edge runtime. Sheer compute power is more limited, but the amount of different site request a single node can handle is greater.
I made a static website hosting platform using IPFS. And at that time I got concerned with this problem. How do you host backends in a decentralised way? If you’re running the backend code in different machines then there is a risk of leaking business secrets.

Your thought some one made money 🤑 , it is never too late to start ur own start up or idea

I was also thinking about a similar type of concept.
Finally a good use-case

Real life Pipernet.
Lmao you read my mind!

Just seen something like this on ipfs....there is also cool things like akash and arweave
great video
what's ipfs?
Inter Planetary File System. Google about it, it's a file system famous in Web3
Still talking about web3? 😂😂😂😂😂.... Oh well, there are folks out there that are still really into the Titanic so 🤷♀️🥴😂😂
Web3 has always been good but not implemented by the mass :)
