PartyKit is joining Cloudflare to help build the future of stateful serverless computing. The author shares their journey from working at Cloudflare, moving to the UK and starting PartyKit, a company focused on building ambitious tech for everyone. They discuss how they explored the possibilities of stateful serverless computing with Durable Objects and decided to join forces with Cloudflare to grow and flourish within its ecosystem. Existing PartyKit users can now use it for free by deploying to their own Cloudflare account, and future plans include deeper integration into Cloudflare's services and new features like real-time React with server components and utilities for AI agent driven apps.

Wordware is a platform that aims to simplify the process of prompt engineering for large language models (LLMs) by taking prompts out of the codebase and putting them in the hands of domain experts. It offers a beautiful Notion-like IDE built around prompt-first programming, allowing users to build powerful chains of prompts with integrated logic and deploy them with one click. Wordware's collaborative interface consists of two main components: Prompts (ProseMirror documents) and Project state (a SyncedStore containing the directory structure, input datasets, and additional project metadata). The platform leverages PartyKit's neat abstractions and deployment infrastructure to provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for prompt engineering.
