"With D1, it will be possible to define a chunk of your Worker code that runs directly next to the database...each request first hits your Worker near your users, but depending on the operation, can hand off to another Worker deployed alongside a replica or your primary D1 instance to complete its work." That's interesting to me. It opens the door for Cloudflare to offer something more like a "normal" serverless offering. One that can run containers, or least natively run Python/Golang/Java/etc, like AWS Lambda does. And with this ecosystem described above that can conditionally route between the lighter edge Workers and the heavier central serverless functions. To me, that's the tipping point where they start to threaten larger portions of AWS.
