This post introduces Cloudflare Workers, a serverless compute platform that allows developers to run JavaScript code on Cloudflare's edge servers. It explains the core concept of receiving HTTP requests at the edge and executing arbitrary JavaScript code within a secure V8 sandbox. Use cases discussed include simple header rewrites, serving content directly from object storage without an origin server, personalizing cached content, implementing A/B testing, and running complex applications like Apollo Server for GraphQL at the edge.
