Kedge – Full-stack cloud with forkable VM snapshots and global SQLite

I'm building Kedge, a globally distributed platform for stateful serverless apps. Here's how you make a simple static site: `echo '# Hello world!' | ssh kedge.dev`I helped build Fly.io for 4 years and shared enthusiasm for the founders' vision of a 'global Heroku'. While there, I wrote "The Serverless Server" (https://fly.io/blog/the-serverless-server/) as a study of Lambda and a sketch of a modern serverless product built around lightweight VMs. That essay was the initial inspiration for Kedge.Kedge has a fast VM orchestrator that can create code sandboxes or scale service instances in 3ms, using a combination of forkable VM snapshots and a tree of warm pools (Linux kernel -> base runtime -> app). VMs are memory-dense thanks to shared copy-on-write memory pages. You can run lightweight CGI-style functions, public OCI images, or source code for BuildKit to compile and deploy.Kedge's global control plane sits on an eventually-consistent SQLite database. Taking inspiration from Corrosion and Litestream, I built a local-first, multi-writer CRDT-based replication system backed by object storage, and just recently made it open source (https://github.com/wjordan/syzy).You can also use a SQLite client to query `/shared.db` from any instance for a build-in replicated database in your app. This lets Kedge autoscale services close to your users while each instance queries its local replica for eventually-consistent data, with no need to micro-manage instance or volume placement. (There's also a /shared/ filesystem adapter for convenience.)Kedge can even use this same database for stateful, server-rendered HTML apps. Data attributes bind forms, buttons, and values to records in the app database, Kedge compiles the schema and operations at deploy-time, and then queries the local data to serve requests. As a demo, I made a Hacker News clone with story submiss
