Cloudflare's next dev week is next month again, so decent chance they may announce a limited/private beta of some sort during that for their containers product

Hm seeing as partykit was acquired by CF a while ago, plus partyserver's repo mentions this Discord for updates (didn't see a channel for it, yet), I'm guessing its a official CF project as well.
But yeah I agree its a bit vague with the repo not being under CF's org (yet?)

PepsOP•3/13/25, 2:12 PM

been tinkering around with partyserver a couple weeks ago, its pretty nice

PepsOP•3/13/25, 2:13 PM

ah and the package author email is his CF email as well

i asked about a channel yesterday would be amazing!

do i get it right that partyserver is not just a v2 but also worker specific? (i never knew partykit worked “standalone”)

PepsOP•3/13/25, 2:13 PM

so I can only guess it will eventually be fully transferred to CF

Silvan•3/13/25, 2:14 PM

would explain the stabdalone cli for partykit i guess

I've not worked enough with partykit to really know the exact difference, but from what I can tell partyserver is supposed to give more flexibility/customisability compared to partykit.
Partykit worked a bit more out-of-the-box and handled things like the DO + wrangler.toml largely behind-the-scenes, but this new package seems to be more tailored towards use cases where you want to host it on your own Cloudflare account and have more customisability

Silvan•3/13/25, 2:17 PM

yea got the same impression which is exactly what i wanted!

The most common feature request for PartyKit was using it with other Cloudflare services: D1, Hyperdrive, R2, etc. And I didn't want to port over every one of them

So we built a

version that Just Works™ with Workers.

npm install partyserver

its not too uncommon for some projects to start out in employee-owned repos and then get moved to the cf org later

Erisa•3/13/25, 2:46 PM

i dont know 100% whether thats the case here but given the context id guess so
