Improving request debugging in Cloudflare Workers

Cloudflare has introduced an improved debugging experience for its serverless computing platform, Cloudflare Workers. The company added a Network panel to the inspector, allowing developers to view interactions between their worker and the origin, including request and response headers, time taken by the worker to reach and get data from the website, initiator of each request, and more. This feature is useful for debugging complex interactions between various requests on a page and subrequests coming from a worker. The implementation involved using the DevTools Protocol and reusing capnproto for JSON (de)serialisation support. Cloudflare encourages feedback on this new feature and suggestions for further improvements to enhance developer experience with Workers.
