Cloudflare Workers

platform active freemium

Cloudflare's serverless compute platform that runs JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly at the edge. Workers execute in V8 isolates with millisecond cold starts, enabling globally distributed, low-latency compute. Commonly used for API proxies, edge AI inference, request transformation, and building serverless applications.

Implements

Concepts this tool claims to implement:

  • Edge Deployment primary

    Code runs in 300+ edge locations worldwide with sub-millisecond cold starts and automatic global distribution.

  • Inference Endpoint secondary

    Workers AI enables running AI models at the edge. Can proxy requests to LLM APIs or run small models directly on Workers.

  • Sandbox secondary

    V8 isolates provide sandboxed execution environment with memory limits and restricted system access.

Integration Surfaces

  • CLI (Wrangler)
  • Web Dashboard
  • REST API
  • Workers AI

Notes

Cloudflare Workers pioneered the edge compute model now adopted by competitors (Vercel Edge Functions, Deno Deploy). The Workers AI addition makes it relevant for AI applications needing low-latency inference or edge-based AI processing.
