Greetings Tech Lead of Workers!
I have yet to use this specific product and after reading the blog post I'm actually really frustrated that I didn't fully understand the things that I could do with Workers as I had a proof-of-concept app recently that would have been nice to test with since we've had issues with cold start delays on Lambda in similar projects in the past. And that second point that you make, above, ... holy cow; that's going to change the way I design systems and applications for customers.
Personally speaking, I am a fan of CloudFlare like some of the more obsessed are fans of Apple[0]. Every time your company comes out with a new announcement, it's solves some problem I'm experiencing on projects at that moment.
I could write paragraph after paragraph of all of the grief that using your services has eliminated from mine and my customer's lives, but I am certain you get that enough, already. There is no way my customer's appreciate your free tier as much as I, the developer, do. And your UX is awesome. Whichever one of your team mates designed the API button with instructions next to each option in the control panel as a way to onboard people to the API ... it's those stupid little things -- because that's there, when I'm setting up a client with a unique configuration for the first time, I start from a baseline, set it manually, test, and click into that link to see what commands I'm putting into the script should I have another client with similar needs. I probably wouldn't have thought to even look to see if you had an API were it not for those links.
I'm excited to try out Workers next time I have a Lambda need that fits well. Keep up the good work -- it's taking a ton of grief out of my life.
[0] A gentleman from your company sent me a T-Shirt for providing feedback for the Argo tunnel (called something different back then in beta) product -- you guys even do the damn T-Shirts right ... subtle logo on the shoulder and front, no words, and really soft cotton. It's my favorite "free vendor t-shirt" shirt.
edit: A sentence ... got away from me and I had a dangling bullet
