@maurerbot, I use something like this for an MVP project that's built around Durable Objects for storage. I don't recall the differences between what's posted here and what exists in my codebase at this time. I've added several features like rate limiting, open telemetry reporting, and durable storage adapters with zod with it.

The codebase I have has diverged a lot from this sample, so it's hard to recreate an example.
