Durable Objects - Outbound connections keep Durable Objects alive
Cloudflare has updated its Durable Objects functionality, announcing that outbound connections will now keep Durable Objects alive. This means that a Durable Object's lifecycle is extended as long as it maintains an active outbound network connection. This change, published on June 19, 2026, impacts how developers manage the persistence and state of their Durable Objects on the Cloudflare Developer Platform, tying their active state directly to ongoing external communications.
This update means Durable Objects persist longer if they have active outbound connections, affecting their lifecycle management for developers.
