Summary

Cloudflare Workers is a service that allows the execution of JavaScript, Rust, and WebAssembly on the edge, leveraging the V8 engine for rapid startup and impressive technical capabilities. The Cloudflare Workers showcase site was developed using Sanity.io as the content backend, and the process was explored in a discussion with developer advocate Kristian Freeman. The conversation covered the decision to use JAMstack and Gatsby for the site, the functionality of Sanity’s source plugin for Gatsby, deploying via GitHub Actions, and the benefits of designing with a content-first approach. Additionally, it highlighted features like Workers Key-Value Store and the integration of layout abstractions with structured content. Freeman also organizes Byteconf, a free online conference series.
