Perusta: A Backend You Own From the Browser

perusta.dev ↗ · Developer Corner · score 85.0
Open: public page gives enough substance to understand the site $Paid: pricing, booking, ecommerce, subscription, or paid access is visible ADAds: visible ad load or ad-supported content Pretty: notable design, copy, craft, or presentation Pro: polished, finished-feeling, serious, or operationally mature Niche: specific audience, workflow, or unusually focused use case Human: personal, local, community, civic, handmade, or real-person signal !Suspicious: scammy, spammy, trust theater, finance fog, or credibility concern

A client-side JavaScript SDK that provides filesystem storage, key-value data, AI, authentication, and server functions on infrastructure deployed to your own Vercel account.

Why it surfaced

Perusta tackles an unusually concrete backend problem: its Redis-backed file tree lets a directory containing 10,000 files be renamed with two Redis writes and no blob copying. The site also demonstrates the same API with a bundler or a plain script tag, while insisting there is no separate Perusta service, dashboard, or per-seat pricing.

Monica’s Calendar of Flowers

August 17’s newborn domains include a calendar that spreads flowers for Monica across the months after JP’s death, 17 years of a master mariner’s logbooks, the seconds between a modem connection and the first web request, and an Indian bus cabin carrying 632 songs.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-17 Domain Arrivals issue.
