This post announces significant improvements to Cloudflare Workers, enabling it to host full-stack applications. Key contributions include: general availability (GA) for static asset hosting, GA support for multiple JavaScript frameworks (React Router v7, Astro, Hono, Vue.js, Nuxt, Svelte), improved Node.js API compatibility (crypto, tls, net, dns modules), increased request CPU time to 5 minutes, GA for the Cloudflare Vite plugin with HMR support, GA for the Images binding, and the ability to connect to MySQL databases via Hyperdrive. It also highlights the convergence of Cloudflare Pages features into Workers, such as _headers and _redirects files, and improved Workers Builds integration with GitHub/GitLab for faster deployments and preview URL comments. The post positions Workers as the primary platform for building full-stack applications, superseding Cloudflare Pages for new development.
