Everyone can now run JavaScript on Cloudflare with Workers

Cloudflare has announced the general availability of its Cloudflare Workers service. The platform enables developers to run JavaScript code on Cloudflare's edge network using the standard Service Workers API and V8 engine. This allows for faster response times by running code closer to end users, reducing latency. Some potential uses include routing different types of requests to different servers, expanding HTML templates at the edge, applying access control to cached content, and implementing custom load balancing logic. The service is a paid add-on to Cloudflare's existing offerings.
