It just seems to be a management platform to allow you to deploy and track the runtimes of an unlimited number of Workers (i.e. functions) that operate in a tenant-isolated manner.
This is surprisingly easy to do with AWS Lambda right now, even though you need to understand the security implications and mitigate them to make this work safely. You just have to look at the Twilio functions implementation to see how someone achieves this at scale today. But having a prebuilt solution designed specifically for this is promising.
It's a good idea though, but yet another blog article with no info on pricing and the only way to access it is by going to Cloudflare cap-in-hand to ask politely. Who knows when (or if) this will ever become publicly available or be cost-effective long-term.
- kentonv 4y agoIt's true you can do something similar with Lambda, but our architecture is much better suited to do this efficiently, especially in the case of scripts that aren't invoked very often. This is a new product in the very early stages, which requires a high-touch feedback cycle with our early customers. You can expect once it's further along, you'll be able to sign up for it without talking to us first, and the pricing will be better than Lambda.
- bluelightning2k 4y agoI'm really interested in this. We currently do something like: post code to a serverless function -> function executes code and returns output as HTTP. This works but it's hard & requires a lot of adapter code (things like async errors). I'd really like to talk about this - I understand that might not be possible. I filled in the form, any idea when we might hear something? Do you support arbitrary npm modules?
