Comparison looks inaccurate, judging by https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/learning/using-websockets/ https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/learning/using-web...

  I think the comparison is just old, it used to be accurate. - Cloudflare Workers now supports WebSocket. - Cloudflare Workers now supports strongly-consistent storage / ACID transactions with Durable Objects. - Cloudflare Workers is becoming open source, but not there yet (I am refactoring the code for this as we speak): https://twitter.com/KentonVarda/status/1523666343412654081 https://twitter.com/KentonVarda/status/1523666343412654081 (Disclosure: I'm the tech lead for Cloudflare Workers.)

    What language(s) is Cloudflare Workers written in?
    - kentonv 4y ago
      C++ (Sorry. Rust wasn't ready yet when we started.)

    Any progress on open sourcing it? I can see the announcement was done in may

    Cloudflare Workers might be great if people were allowed to try it out, but there is an interogation screening step that involves a Zoom call in the free tier process which is a bit of a blocker tbh.

      Huh? No there isn't. It's completely self-service, no talking to anyone, unless you are going for an enterprise account.
      - stagas 4y ago
        Ok then I was wrong, I can login now. Perhaps it was a UI issue, but I was directed to filling out a contact form after trying to sign up for the Workers KV, which then prompted me to booking a Zoom call via email. That was what I was talking about, so I probably ended up for the enterprise sign up somehow. :/ Sorry for that confusion.
        kentonv 4y ago
        Yeah, it sounds like somehow the system thought you were enterprise. If you see that again please file a ticket, it shouldn't be happening.

        Ok I checked again. The landing page at https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/products/workers-kv/ https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/products/workers-kv/ both the main `Sign Up` and `Contact Sales` buttons point to the same contact sales form so I guess I clicked on that Sign Up button when I wanted to try it out. This doesn't happen in the other Sign Up links, like the one up right and the Get Started links in the pricing/overview pages. They go straight to Sign Up. I will try to file a ticket if I can.

        Thanks, I'll pass that along to the right people.
