Welcome to Wildebeest: the Fediverse on Cloudflare

What this post added

This post introduces Wildebeest, an open-source, Mastodon-compatible Fediverse server built entirely on Cloudflare Pages and Workers. It details the architecture, leveraging Pages Functions for API endpoints and a Qwik-based frontend, D1 for database storage, and R2 for object storage. It highlights the use of Pages Functions for routing and implementing the Mastodon API, Qwik for the frontend with SSR/SSG, and D1 for SQLite-based data storage with migrations. Challenges with D1 and UUIDs are discussed.
