Server rendering benchmarks: Fluid Compute and Cloudflare Workers
Oct 9, 2025

Summary
This post introduces benchmarks comparing Vercel's Fluid compute against Cloudflare Workers for server-side rendering. It highlights Fluid compute's advantages in performance (1.2-5x faster) and consistency due to in-region deployment, full Node.js/Python runtime compatibility, and configurable concurrency/resource allocation. The benchmarks demonstrate significant improvements for frameworks like Next.js, React SSR, and SvelteKit, as well as compute-bound tasks.
