What this post added

This post details performance improvements in Cloudflare Workers, highlighting a 30% increase in P90 performance over three years and a 210% advantage over Lambda@Edge. It explains that Workers' speed is due to its edge-first architecture using lightweight V8 isolates, which eliminates cold starts, and its ability to benefit from V8 compiler updates and Cloudflare's network infrastructure. The post also emphasizes the rapid global deployment of Workers (under a second) and ongoing efforts to improve the developer experience through faster deployment cycles and debugging tools.
