JSONsilo 5.0 is live. This release rebuilds the backend from the ground up and gives the console a fresh coat of paint — here's what's new.
A fully serverless, edge-native backend#
The biggest change in 5.0 is under the hood. JSONsilo's API now runs entirely on Cloudflare's edge network instead of a fixed server, backed by Turso (SQLite over HTTP) for storage, Cloudflare KV for caching, and Durable Objects for rate limiting.
In practice, that means:
- No servers to provision or scale. Every request is handled by a Worker spun up on demand, so there's no fleet to size for traffic spikes and no idle capacity to pay for.
- Lower latency, wherever you're calling from. Requests are served from the Cloudflare location closest to you rather than a single origin region, so response times improve for API calls made outside the original home region.
- Fewer moving parts to fail. The old server/cache/queue stack is replaced by managed, globally-distributed primitives, which cuts down on the failure modes we used to have to account for.
We'll keep tuning cache and rate-limit behavior as real traffic patterns settle in — this is the foundation for that work, not the end of it.
New: request stats#
You can now see how much traffic your silos are actually getting. The new /stats page in the console shows total and failed requests over the last day, week, or month, plotted over time, plus a per-silo breakdown so you can spot which silos are doing the work.
A couple of things worth knowing:
- Numbers are sampled, not an exact tally — good for spotting trends, not for billing.
- Failed requests include traffic before authentication runs, so a spike there isn't necessarily something you caused.
- History depth depends on your plan. Free accounts see a shorter window; paid plans see further back, up to three months.
A refreshed UI, and a long list of fixes#
Alongside the backend rewrite, the console got a visual refresh — cleaner layouts, tidier navigation, and more consistent styling across every screen. It's the same workflow you already know, just easier on the eyes.
We also worked through a backlog of small bugs and rough edges surfaced by the migration. Nothing dramatic on its own, but together they make the day-to-day experience noticeably smoother.
