I've been closely following CF Workers and have KV beta access, but the mere fact that we had to ask and wait for access to KV essentially made our decision for us to not use workers.

When will KV be out of beta? It's hard to commit to a platform like CF Workers when it's obviously still not intended for mainstream usage and there is no public timeline.

Hi! I work on KV at Cloudflare. Thank you so much for your interest in it, and for considering Workers at all. I'm pretty convinced if you keep considering it when situations allow, you'll choose it eventually when the moment is right for the product and your company.

I'm happy to give you beta access for you to experiment. That said, we take the distinction between a beta and GA very seriously. We don't want you relying on software we're not, at the very least, using in production ourselves.

That day will come very soon! We're moving several projects into KV (allowing us to move them out of centralized data centers), and we expect KV to track GA in the next few months.

By the way kentonv, thanks for the protobuffs and sandstorm. I work with amir and I just wanted to provide a positive note of it's cool tech. Amir is correct that we still don't feel like the kvstore is mainstream? When does kvstore go ga?
