Very interesting, and using all of the latest tech. I was literally dreaming about combining Remix + Cloudflare Workers + Golang the other day. The only problem is Go would need to be compiled into WASM for that [0]. But this would provide one of the best experiences both in terms of development and performance/latency.

Last time I checked, there was a limit of 1MB or so for deployment wasm in cloudfare workers. Is that limit raised? Go binaries easily run on tens of MB with the default http library.

AFAIK that is still the limit. You can try and use TinyGo to reduce binary size but it's an uphill battle: https://nicholas.cloud/blog/continuing-hijinks-with-cloudfla...

It seems like fly.io is the best option right now for edge-optimized Go apps. My dream would be that Bud becomes something that Cloudflare simply can't ignore :D

Their reliance on V8 Isolates will make it difficult, but if they add Docker support at some point, then we're good. I don't see how Bud would work with WASM at the moment, but if someone gets it working, that would be a very pleasant surprise!

I'm more focused on getting Bud working well for deployment targets like Fly.io, Heroku, Lambda, K8s, Fargate and EC2.
