Containers are available in public beta for simple, global, and programmable compute

Cloudflare has introduced Cloudflare Containers, now available in beta for users on paid plans, allowing developers to run various applications alongside Workers and enhancing the capabilities of Cloudflare’s Developer Platform. These containers enable media processing, backend services in any language, and CLI tools, integrating seamlessly with Workers for a straightforward workflow. Developers can easily configure and deploy containers globally without managing multiple configurations, using tools like wrangler for deployment and observability features for monitoring performance and resource usage. The platform supports scalable, on-demand container instances, which start quickly to ensure minimal user waiting time. Pricing is transparent, based on usage, with provisions for scaling to zero, and future enhancements include higher limits, autoscaling, and improved communication between containers and Workers. Cloudflare aims to expand these features, integrating further with its Developer Platform to offer more functionality, such as easier access to other Cloudflare services like R2 and Hyperdrive.
