Exploring Alchemy v2 — TypeScript IaC on Effect. Cloudflare infra (Workers, R2, KV, D1) defined as TypeScript code with Effect.gen. Could be my gateway into learning Effect/ts properly.

  • Async mode available (no Effect required) — Alchemy infers fully typed env from bindings without codegen
  • alchemy dev does full-stack hot reload against live services (~100ms)
  • alchemy test runs isolated integration tests on real cloud resources — no mocks
  • Supports Vite, Astro, TanStack, SolidStart, Nuxt, Vue

Goal: spin up a Cloudflare Worker + R2 stack as a first project, get comfortable with Effect patterns in the process.
