Excited to unveil #Nosflare a serverless #Nostr relay purpose-built for Cloudflare Workers and the Cloudflare KV store.
This relay is designed to be easy to deploy, scalable, and cost-effective, leveraging Cloudflare's edge computing infrastructure to provide a resilient relay for the Nostr decentralized social protocol.

Nice 🔥
What are the pros/cons to use Nosflare compared to classical Nostr relays with strfry, nostream or nostr-rs-relay?
pros - DDOS protected - distributed entry points - no DB maintainnence
cons - Snowden cannot use such relays
Correct, not able to be used as onion relay, but if configured right (like I have) the relay can at least not block Tor users and be accessible by them
Thanks for putting in initial work on this. I’ll try to convert it to TS and a proper CF Workers repo in spare time. Just for fun! 🐶🐾🫂💜
Nice! Lmk how it goes 🤙
idea is nice n advantages but
cannot be used as onion relay
those who wish to try get familiar CF first worker are charged ELASTIC PRICING based on usage / limits
