Summary
Cloudflare Workers now support a variety of Node.js core APIs, including util, path, fs/promises, events, buffer, assert, and more. This update enhances the compatibility of existing worker scripts with Node.js APIs and allows developers to use familiar patterns when building new workers. The supported APIs cover a wide range of functionality, from high-level abstractions like EventEmitter to lower level utilities like Buffer for manipulating binary data.
