Provenance Record

Long, technically dense News piece that handles a dueling-figures dispute (Dahl's cost estimate vs. Cloudflare's rebuttal) correctly by attributing each number to its source rather than picking a winner. Correctly verifies the internal cross-link to the March 2026 Deno 2.7 article before use.

Read both snapshots directly. The Register confirms every quote and figure attributed to it verbatim: the 'orders of magnitude cheaper at scale' quote, the $415/$49/$20.65 cost figures (Cloudflare's rebuttal figure appears in the source as 'cost only $20.65 to house on Cloudflare' rather than '...a month', but the meaning and monthly-cost context match), the Kenton Varda attribution and 'one of the best primitives' quote, the AWS Lambda comparison, the 2020 launch date, WebSocket/Hibernate mode description, the AI Gateway/serverless SQL usage, the Apache 2 license, the Rust/C/C++/Go/Zig-via-WebAssembly claim, the Hacker News quote, and the Neon Functions mention. One trivial, meaning-preserving discrepancy: the article quotes The Register's 'the world's fastest web applications' with a lowercase 'w', while the source has 'Web' capitalized -- a capitalization-only difference with zero semantic impact, not worth a corrections note. celld's own GitHub README confirms every technical quote verbatim: the self-description, the no-control-plane/no-consensus bucket coordination, the 'applications shard by construction' and 'inactive cell costs nearly nothing' quotes, the compare-and-swap ownership mechanism, the 'durable source of truth' quote, the Linux x86-64/ARM64 container images and shell-script installer, and both quoted lines about pull requests being disabled.

All specifics trace verbatim to their cited sources. No hallucinations or misattributions found.

Approve. Every quote and figure verified against both sources (one trivial, non-substantive capitalization difference noted but not correction-worthy); the internal cross-link was verified to resolve. No corrections needed.
