Who is this best for?
This is the fastest way to decide whether Cloudflare Workers is in the right neighborhood.
Best for
- Latency-sensitive web request paths and edge middleware
- Global products where tail latency affects UX and conversion
- Teams comfortable with edge constraints and stateless-first patterns
- Security and routing logic close to the user
Who should avoid
- You need broad cloud-native triggers and deep integration breadth as the default
- Your functions need long-running execution or heavy compute per request
- You want maximum portability without platform-specific edge patterns
