Well on its way to being a huge contender in this space now. As I was saying on another post, I'm really just eager to see them roll out an in-house, more conventional datastore option that plugs in with this. If I can create a full-stack preview environment comprised of all these services, that will be huge. It's edge (no pun intended) is that it's globally available by default.

We are only half way through their "Full Stack Week", so I'm hoping they have something coming on that... Monday was Workers talking to external services + durable objects. Tuesday was upgrades to workers and the toolkit to make it easer to develop full apps on them. Wednesday (today) was Worker+Pages integration and front end development. No announcements yet of any upgrades to the Worker Key Value store, wouldn't be surprised if they have a day of datastore type announcements - its the part of the "full stack" they haven't covered this week yet. They have to climax on Friday with something big right?

  Wow. I didn’t know it was a full week of announcements. I was thrilled with the static typing thing yesterday and this today, so I’m pretty excited to see the next 2 days now.

  Price reductions and increase in script sizes (at 1MB, currently) would be nice, too.

  Plus, at the end of the week, announcements related to Web3 services during a broadcast on Cloudfare TV. Their CEO will be talking to a prominent crypto investor.

  My guts tell me they will add at least tcp support in workers.

    They've already announced this week that they're working on it! https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-socket-workers/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-socket-workers/

      Thanks for sharing, I missed this one! I was worried for a bit, but they put a significant amount of time into explaining how they want to work with others to develop some kind of standard. Hopefully the client API is also something that can make its way back into the browser at some point.
