Developer Spotlight: Chris Coyier, CodePen

Chris Coyier, founder of CSS-Tricks and co-founder of CodePen, has been using Cloudflare Workers for various optimizations on his platforms. CodePen relies heavily on the ability to execute code and store data on Cloudflare's network due to its nature as an online code editor that allows developers to collaborate and share code examples written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Chris uses Workers to manipulate HTML before it reaches users' browsers, stitching together content from external sources. CodePen also leverages Workers KV for data storage, allowing them to cache results and make them accessible on Cloudflare's network near their users. Overall, the integration of Cloudflare Workers into CodePen's stack has enabled highly-performant applications that look towards the future.
