Cloudflare Workers

Edge compute platform for serverless applications

freemiumupdated Apr 21, 2026

Cloudflare Workers is an edge compute platform running serverless JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, and WebAssembly across 330+ global data centers with near-zero cold starts. Executes code within milliseconds of users worldwide. Features include KV storage, Durable Objects for stateful coordination, R2 object storage, D1 SQLite database, Queues for async processing, and AI inference at the edge. Provides a Wrangler CLI for local development and deployment. Generous free tier with 100K requests/day.

Cloudflare Workers run serverless code at the edge across 330+ data centers worldwide. Unlike traditional serverless (AWS Lambda), Workers have near-zero cold starts because they use V8 isolates rather than container-based execution.

The platform supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, and WebAssembly. Complementary services include Workers KV for global key-value storage, Durable Objects for stateful coordination, R2 for S3-compatible object storage, D1 for SQLite databases, and Queues for async message processing.

Workers AI brings model inference to the edge, enabling AI-powered applications without managing GPU infrastructure. The Wrangler CLI provides local development, testing, and deployment workflows.

Free tier includes 100K requests per day. Paid plans start at $5/month for 10M requests. Enterprise plans offer custom limits, SLAs, and dedicated support.
