Summary

The introduction of "Services" by Cloudflare aims to enhance the development capabilities of Workers, a platform that allows developers to write code and deploy it globally in just a few seconds. Services are designed to be composable, allowing them to communicate with each other, and support multiple environments for testing changes before promoting them to production. Automatic migration of scripts into services is provided, and the new concept of "Service bindings" allows seamless service-to-service communication without network latency or interruption. Services are versioned and audited, ensuring easy rollback in case of mistakes. The adoption of Services will enable teams to share and reuse code within their organizations while maintaining performance and efficiency.
