Founders Toolkit

Cloudflare Workers

Hosting & Infrastructure

Free tier (100,000 requests/day), paid from $5/mo

Visit website

Serverless platform for running JavaScript, TypeScript, Python or Rust code and full-stack apps on Cloudflare's global network

Workers runs your code in Cloudflare’s data centres in more than 330 cities, close to your users. It handles APIs, full-stack apps built with React, Vue or Next.js, scheduled jobs and webhooks, and it connects to Cloudflare’s databases, storage and queues through bindings.

Cloudflare’s documentation for Pages now says to start new projects on Workers, and calls Workers its primary platform for building applications.

The paid plan is $5 a month plus any usage beyond the included amounts, and requests for static files are never charged. Check that your dependencies run on the Workers runtime before you commit, since it is not a full Node.js environment.

Pros

  • The free plan includes 100,000 requests a day, and requests to static assets are free and unlimited
  • The paid plan starts at $5/month with 10 million requests and 30 million CPU milliseconds included
  • No cold starts, and you pay for CPU time, not for time spent waiting on network calls

Cons

  • Only a subset of Node.js APIs is supported, so some npm packages won't run
  • The free plan allows 10 ms of CPU time per request
