About

I'm Matt. This blog documents how I build real software on Cloudflare's edge — not toy examples, but an actual platform that runs in production, with every claim verified live.

The centerpiece is Lumina Retail, a storefront and AI agent platform built entirely from Cloudflare products: Workers, D1, Vectorize, R2, Durable Objects, Workers AI, AI Gateway, Turnstile, Cloudflare Access, AI Search and the MCP Server Portal. Two Workers, twelve products, one demo — and a blog post for the interesting parts.

What you'll find here: plain-English explanations of how each piece works, the design decisions and trade-offs behind them, the war stories (there are always war stories), and screenshot-ready evidence you can follow along with on the live demo.

Start with the blog, or go straight to the platform.
