Cloudflare Workers Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like the flexibility to deploy code at the edge and how quickly updates go live.

Like

Ultra-fast Edge Performance Responses are delivered close to the user, which has dramatically improved API latency in regions like APAC and South America without needing to manage regional infrastructure. Seamless Integration with Cloudflare Ecosystem Native support for KV storage, Durable Objects, and R2 object storage makes it easy to build distributed systems with global consistency or localized caching. Developer tooling & Deployment The wrangler clI is intuitive and fast. CI/CD integration was straightforward, and preview environments are a great bonus for testing before pushing to production.

Like

The scalability and logging aspects being built in have made converting existing code to use workers very easy.

Dislike

It takes some time for adaptation for beginners.

Dislike

Limited Debugging capabilities Real-time debugging is not as easy as in traditional environments. You often rely on console.log and wait for logs to propagate, which slows down development. Memory & CPU constraints workers are limited in terms of compute and memory, which can be a blocker for more complex tasks. Cloudflare-specific APIs = Vendor Lock-in The deeper you go into their storage (KV, Durable Objects), the harder it is to migrate or create parity in another platform without substantial rewrites.

Dislike

The configuration between wrangler and the dashboard was confusing at first but became more clear after using for awhile.

    Cloudflare Workers Enable Faster Global Responses

    4.0
    Jun 18, 2025
    Cloudflare Workers has been a powerful addition to our stack, especially for edge computing use cases where low-latency responses are critical. Weve used it to offload API token validation, header manipulation, and serve dynamic configuration at the edge, which has significantly reduced round-trip times for our global users. The developer experience is generally smooth, and the integration with the broader Cloudflare ecosystem (KV, Durable Objects, etc.) gives us flexibility. However, its not without caveats. debugging can be a challenge compared to traditional server-side environments, and the vendor lock-in is real if you start leaning heavily on their proprietary storage layers. Overall, the performance and cost-effectiveness have outweighed the rough edges for us.
