Divanshu Chauhan — Software Engineer and Builder

Software engineer at Cloudflare. MS in Computer Science from ASU. I build edge infrastructure by day and side projects people actually open at night.

Alita Robot serves 300k+ Telegram users. I contribute to Vinext, Cloudflare's open-source Next.js-on-Workers stack.

300k+ users 30+ projects 50+ open source

Why I build

I build tools so software feels obvious at 2am, when you're stressed and want it to just work. Cloudflare taught me how a real edge platform behaves under load. Side projects taught me what people actually open more than once. I care about building things that are small, durable, and worth coming back to. I ship in public and write down what I learn along the way.

Full background, experience, and skills

  • Alita Robot

    300k+ users on a Telegram bot I've maintained since 2020

  • LogWell

    Self-hosted logging I built after Datadog priced me out

  • Teaching

    Two years tutoring eight CS courses at ASU

Selected work

Four projects I keep coming back to. Edge infrastructure at Cloudflare, a logging tool I built because Datadog priced me out, an AI portfolio generator, and the Telegram bot that taught me what shipping at scale really means.

Vinext

2025 – Present

TypeScript · Vite · Next.js · Cloudflare Workers · Open Source

Open-source contributor to Cloudflare Vinext, a Vite plugin that reimplements the Next.js API surface for Workers and other runtimes. My work touches App Router rendering, ISR caching, image optimization, and server-action forwarding.

LogWell

2024 – Present

TypeScript · PostgreSQL · Docker · SSE · OTLP · Node.js

A self-hosted logging tool I wrote because Datadog priced me out and the open-source alternatives wanted a PhD in Elasticsearch. PostgreSQL-backed, OTLP-compatible, real-time streaming, one Docker Compose file.

Go · MongoDB · Telegram Bot API · Docker

Open-source Telegram moderation bot I've maintained since 2020. Currently serving 300,000+ users across real communities, with the boring features people actually need: anti-spam, scheduling, role management, locale support, and a self-hostable Go binary.

Notes I wrote down so I'd stop forgetting them: shipping, edge platforms, and the tools I reach for when something breaks at 2am.

When to Use a VPS vs Cloudflare Workers in 2026

Real numbers from 30+ projects: Alita Robot (300K users on Docker/Oracle free VPS) vs Clickfolio (Cloudflare Workers + D1 + R2 at $0). Cost comparison, database trade-offs, DDoS horror stories, and a decision framework for when to pick which architecture.
