What this post added
This post announces the convergence of Cloudflare Workers and Pages into a single development platform. It details the 'why' behind this decision, driven by user feedback and the blurring lines between the two products. The post outlines the future vision of a unified project concept that can include static assets, serverless functions (Workers), and resources (KV, DO, R2, D1). It highlights improvements to deployment workflows (git-ops, previews, environments), local development with a unified Wrangler CLI, and the benefits of this convergence (low latency, free egress, JS runtime). It also introduces immediate changes like a unified creation flow for Pages/Workers, starter templates, an integrated CLI experience for full-stack frameworks, and a merged project list dashboard. Seamless migration for existing projects is emphasized as a top priority.
