They are the last of the major CDNs to offer this sort of functionally — code you can inject at different points along the request.
Yes, they did a huge service to the internet by giving everyone free SSL but their control panel is maddening and it’s very hard to understand what each switch/knob actually is doing behind all of the marketing speak.
I think the free DNS are great too but I see all this worker stuff as a catch up “we do this too” feature and not a new thing. They aren’t doing it better than anyone else.

- StavrosK 6y agoIsn't that what the GP said? Cloudflare are the last.
- jgrahamc 6y agoNo wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
- kentonv 6y ago> They are the last of the major CDNs to offer this sort of functionally Eh? Which other CDNs let normal (non-big-enterprise) users deploy Turing-complete code to the edge before Workers was launched in 2018? I can only think of Lambda@Edge, which itself was quite new at the time. But maybe I'm forgetting some. Which ones are you thinking of?
