+#### Using remote resources with Durable Objects and Workflows
+
+While Durable Object and Workflow bindings cannot currently be remote, you can still use them during local development and have them interact with remote resources.
+
+There are two recommended patterns for this:
+
+- **Local Durable Objects/Workflows with remote bindings:**
+
+	When you enable remote bindings in your [Wrangler configuration](/workers/wrangler/configuration), your locally running Durable Objects and Workflows can access remote resources. This allows such bindings, although run locally, to interact with remote resources during local development.
+
+- **Accessing remote Durable Objects/Workflows via service bindings:**
+
+	To interact with remote Durable Object or Workflow instances, deploy a Worker that defines those. Then, in your local Worker, configure a remote [service binding](/workers/runtime-apis/bindings/service-bindings/) pointing to the deployed Worker.
+	Your local Worker will be then able to interact with the remote deployed Worker, which in turn can communicate with the remote Durable Objects/Workflows. Using this method, you can create a communication channel via the remote service binding, effectively using the deployed Worker as a proxy interface to the remote bindings during local development.
+
+
 ### Important Considerations
 
 - **Data modification**: Operations (writes, deletes, updates) on bindings connected remotely will affect your actual data in the targeted Cloudflare resource (be it preview or production).
