When you hear the word “serverless,” I bet you start to think about AWS, GCP, or MS Azure. These are the top players in this space, right? You might also think about DigitalOcean, Linode, Netlify Functions, Zeit Serverless Functions, or even Firebase (though it’s technically part of GCP).
These services are great because they offer impressive scalability, no need for maintenance, and often come with generous free tiers. However, there is a serverless platform that wasn’t listed here and that I think you might not even know about.
I’m talking about Cloudflare Workers — a unique service from Cloudflare (the top CDN provider) that’s similar in its functionality to Firebase Cloud Functions and alike (Function as a Service — FaaS). It might not sound like much, but trust me — it has a few aces in its sleeve.
Heads up! Just to clarify, I’m in no way sponsored by or affiliated with Cloudflare. I used the service through its free tier for my product — CodeWrite (the best blogging tool for developers) — and thought that it’s worth writing about!

Let’s start with an overview of the platform’s top, unique features.
