DESCRIPTION:**_SiliconBeest_** is a Fediverse software project designed to 
 run on Cloudflare Workers\, an edge-based serverless platform. Inspired by
  Wildebeest\, which has since been deprecated\, this project explores how 
 Fediverse services can be built and operated without relying on traditiona
 l server infrastructure.\n\nIn this talk\, I will share why I chose Cloudf
 lare Workers as the foundation for building Fediverse software\, how Silic
 onBeest is being implemented\, and what this architecture could mean for t
 he future of federated social platforms. Drawing from ideas and experience
  from Wildebeest\, Mastodon\, Misskey\, and Fedify\, I am building a fully
  functional Fediverse software stack that aims to be practical\, scalable\
 , and affordable.\n\nOne of the key ideas behind this project is that a se
 rverless edge architecture can reduce operational complexity while making 
 it easier to handle growth. Instead of depending on large dedicated server
 s\, the system is designed to scale with demand. In the talk\, I will disc
 uss the technical design\, the advantages and trade-offs of running Fedive
 rse software in this environment\, and what kinds of scale may be achievab
 le starting from a relatively low cost\, such as Cloudflare Workers’ pai
 d plan.\n\nI will also talk about the development process behind the proje
 ct. AI coding tools such as Claude Code and Codex have been a meaningful p
 art of how I design\, implement\, and iterate on SiliconBeest. I want to s
 hare how these tools have helped in practice\, where they were useful\, wh
 ere they were not\, and what it feels like to build an ambitious open soft
 ware project with AI as part of the workflow.\n\nThis session is for peopl
 e interested in building Fediverse software that is scalable\, cost-effect
 ive\, and easy to maintain\, and in exploring how serverless can work with
  the Fediverse.
