Workers KV — Cloudflare's distributed database
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post announces the general availability of Workers KV, a highly distributed, eventually consistent, key-value store designed to complement Cloudflare Workers. It explains the need for persistent data storage for Workers, details the CAP theorem trade-offs (Availability and Partition Tolerance over Consistency), and provides examples of use cases like mass redirects, user authentication, and configuration data. New features introduced include bulk writes for efficient data import and expiring keys for time-limited data storage.
