Curious - what are people using CF workers for? Where's the sweet spot?
- ignoramous 6y agoI am using it to proxy (think API gateway) all sorts of network-bound things [0]: 1. Content delivery (downloads). 2. Analytics (metrics and logging). 3. Proxy misc HTTP requests. I planned to move web-hosting to Workers too but Netlify is just too smooth and I don't see a reason to do so currently, though the recently announced free analytics product (for websites proxied through Cloudflare) might tempt me to do so anyway. [0] The 50ms time-limit is for cpu-time and not wall-time. The latter doesn't seem to have any documented limits and so works great for "streaming" network-bound workloads.
