Workers

Workers is a serverless computing platform that allows developers to run code at the edge, close to users, without managing servers. It enables the execution of JavaScript, WebAssembly, or other languages in a globally distributed network, providing low-latency responses and scalable performance for web applications, APIs, and automation tasks.

Also known as: Cloudflare Workers, Edge Workers, Serverless Workers, Worker Scripts, CF Workers

Why learn Workers?

Developers should use Workers when building applications that require fast, global performance, such as real-time APIs, dynamic content generation, or handling high-traffic events. It's ideal for scenarios where serverless edge computing reduces latency, improves reliability, and simplifies deployment, like in content delivery networks (CDNs), bot protection, or A/B testing.
