Are there any self-hosted offerings similar to Durable Ojects? I like the idea of abstracting synchronization like this but enjoy being cloud agnostic.

Have a look at membrane - https://www.membrane.io

Maybe a Valkey cluster for simpler use cases? Although that's more like Workers KV than DO.

I wonder if temporal [1] could be used to create DO. Had anyone here tried it?

[1] - https://temporal.io/

Although I have not used it as DO, I have been using it for durable workflows for a few years. The cached results of the workflow activities could give the feeling but the latency to read and write would be a dealbreaker for many. There is a lot of overhead in writing the interface between application code and Temporal workflow (for example, you can have conflicting object IDs that can be configured).

Self hosting Temporal with a Postgres datastore is usually how I deploy it and it works great, but at that point I'd just write it to a Valkey store if I just wanted a easy DO interface.
