Cloudflare Workers provide a serverless execution environment that allows you to create entirely new applications or augment existing ones without configuring or maintaining infrastructure.

What are Cloudflare Workers?

Cloudflare Workers run on V8 isolates, offering a lightweight alternative to containers or virtual machines. They:

• Execute at the edge, closer to users
• Scale automatically
• Have zero cold starts
• Require no server management

Getting Started

To create your first Worker:

1. Sign up for a Cloudflare account
2. Install Wrangler CLI tool
3. Create and deploy your first Worker

addEventListener('fetch', event => {
  event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request))
})

async function handleRequest(request) {
  return new Response('Hello worker!', {
    headers: { 'content-type': 'text/plain' },
  })
}
