Hi HN! I'm Lane, and I've been building SonicJS for 7+ years (3,900+ commits).
SonicJS is a headless CMS built specifically for Cloudflare Workers. It runs on the edge in 300+ data centers with sub-100ms response times globally.
Why I built this:
- Traditional CMS platforms are slow and centralized
- Edge computing is the future but there wasn't a good CMS for it
- Wanted TypeScript-first with real type safety
Technical highlights:
- 6x faster than Node/Express in benchmarks
- Zero cold starts (V8 isolates)
- SQLite at the edge via Cloudflare D1
- Built on Hono.js framework
- Advanced plugin system
- Full admin UI included
Get started: `npx create-sonicjs my-app`
It's MIT licensed and 100% open source. Would love feedback from the HN community - especially on performance, architecture decisions, or features you'd want to see.
