Improving RubyDocs with Cloudflare Workers and Workers KV
Oct 31, 2018Guest Author

Summary
This post details the integration of Cloudflare Workers and Workers KV to improve the RubyDocs service. A Cloudflare Worker was implemented to proxy requests from a subpath (rubydocs.org/d/) to a subdomain (d3eo0xoa109f6x.cloudfront.net), allowing for a unified domain and leveraging CDN benefits. Workers KV was used to store and dynamically retrieve the latest version of Ruby projects, enabling URLs like rubydocs.org/d/ruby-latest/ to always point to the most recent documentation. The Worker script handles URL matching, redirection to the latest version, and appending trailing slashes for proper routing.
