Better Auth Rate Limiting Incompatible with Cloudflare Edge Storage
Better Auth's rate limiting system assumes simple key-value storage patterns, making it incompatible with strongly consistent or coordination-based backends like Cloudflare Durable Objects. Developers building on edge runtimes (Cloudflare Workers) cannot implement reliable strict rate limiting because the library offers no pluggable storage adapter interface for this layer. This is a specific gap in one open-source library affecting a niche but growing segment of edge-deployed applications.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyDistributed Storage Clients Lack Client-Side Hot Key Rate Limiting
In production distributed storage systems, hot keys cause disproportionate IO load on individual storage nodes with no client-level mitigation available. Without client-side rate limiting per key, the only mitigation is server-side controls, which adds latency and reduces the ability to proactively shed load at the edge.

VS Code Extension Settings Documented in README Not Recognized
A VS Code extension documents configuration settings in its README that are not actually recognized by the extension at runtime. Users configure settings that silently have no effect.
Frontend Apps Forced to Build Backends Solely to Hide API Keys
Developers building frontend-only applications frequently need to expose third-party API keys in client-side code, creating a security risk. The conventional solution — standing up a backend proxy — adds significant overhead for what is essentially an infrastructure plumbing task. This gap disproportionately affects solo developers and small teams building lightweight apps who want to avoid the cost and complexity of a full backend.
