More NPM packages on Cloudflare Workers: Combining polyfills and native code to support Node.js APIs

What this post added

Introduced a hybrid model for Node.js API compatibility in Cloudflare Workers, combining native C++/TypeScript implementations for core APIs (like Buffer, AsyncLocalStorage, Crypto) with polyfills (via unenv) for others. This allows for broader NPM package usage, eliminates the need for the `node:` prefix for many modules, and optimizes Worker size by only polyfilling used APIs. This significantly enhances the ability to leverage the existing JavaScript ecosystem within the Workers runtime.
