Announcing Workers for Platforms: making every application on the Internet more programmable
SummaryAI, from the source post

Introduces 'Workers for Platforms,' a tool suite enabling businesses to make their applications programmable by allowing customers to run custom logic (Workers) directly within the platform. This addresses the limitations of APIs by providing lower-level primitives. Key features include APIs for managing Workers at scale (hundreds of thousands to millions), tags for bulk actions (e.g., account deletion cleanup), 'Trace Workers' for debugging and logging customer Worker executions, and 'Dynamic Dispatch' for chaining platform-owned Workers with customer-owned Workers. This enables platform providers to design tailored developer experiences.
