Jukejitsu: Cloudflare Edition

Intro

Jukejitsu is the name of a project I started while attending university and have since used it as a reference implementation in new frameworks/technologies. The main functionality of jukejitsu is to implement real-time sync'ing of a music/video queue which supports multi-client voting and submission. The top of the queue is then played by a video/audio player which syncs current playback state between all clients.

Project specifics

In my effort to experiement with the Cloudflare Workers platform, I had a few objectives:

• experiment with the Cloudflare Pages platform
• create a juniper wrapper, named juniper_cf_workers, around the workers-rs crate to support running GraphQL servers and merge it upstream with the juniper project
• implement a Durable Object which manages sessions via websockets (sadly workers-rs does not have an interface for this yet)
• implement a GraphQL API as a go between for the client application and durable object
• learn more Rust, evaluate Svelte as a front end framework, and learn GraphQL
