This post introduces Cloudflare Containers, a new beta feature that allows users to run containerized applications globally on Cloudflare's edge network, integrated with Cloudflare Workers. It details the configuration, development workflow (using `wrangler dev` and `wrangler deploy`), built-in observability, and pricing model. The post highlights use cases like code sandboxing, running FFmpeg, and deploying static frontends with containerized backends. It also previews upcoming features like global autoscaling and enhanced inter-container/Worker communication.
