Edge Engineering with Cloudflare

Workers → Routing → D1 → Deployment

Running software on the edge instead of on servers: what disappears, what changes, and what this platform itself runs on.

  1. Compute at the edge

    Cloudflare Workers flip the model: no servers to patch, no regions to choose. Hono provides the routing layer this platform's APIs are built on.

  2. Route requests globally

    How requests find the right Worker — and how routing at the edge differs from a reverse proxy in a rack.

  3. State without servers

    D1 puts SQLite at the edge. Small, replicated, and enough for most platform workloads — the analytics and messaging systems here use it.

  4. Ship it

    CI/CD with GitHub Actions deploying to the deployment environment — see how the twin models the pipeline as first-class infrastructure.
