Cloudflare Workers
A serverless platform that runs code at the edge, with AI, storage, and database primitives.
Cloudflare Workers runs code on Cloudflare's edge network, close to users worldwide, with near-instant cold starts. Around it sit storage primitives (KV, R2, D1, queues) and Workers AI for running models at the edge.
It suits lightweight, globally distributed application logic rather than heavy, long-running compute.
Where it fits
A fit for low-latency, globally distributed application logic and light AI features at the edge.
Where it does not fit
The edge runtime is not the place for heavy model inference or long-running jobs.
