Why Workers environment variables contain live objects

Cloudflare Workers utilize a unique feature called "bindings" that simplifies setup, enhances security, and improves developer experience. Bindings eliminate boilerplate code by allowing environment variables to contain full-fledged objects rather than just strings. This approach also helps prevent common security vulnerabilities such as Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks and leaking of API keys or certificate management issues. Furthermore, bindings enable dependency injection for easier setup, observability, testability, and adaptability.
