GoKawiilMainbrella backend manages race conditions with dedicated account slots
Mainbrella's backend uses Cloudflare Durable Objects to coordinate machine slot allocation, preventing double booking when multiple requests arrive simultaneously. Each user has an account coordinator that serializes resource reservations before machine boot requests proceed, ensuring consistent capacity management. This approach helps avoid resource conflicts and maintains reliable request handling despite network or system delays.
