Cloudflare Workers runs your code on Cloudflare's 300+ global edge locations — milliseconds from every user on earth. We build Workers applications for D2C brands: API proxies, request transformation, A/B testing, personalisation, bot protection and performance optimisation at the edge.
Cloudflare Workers are serverless functions that run on Cloudflare's edge network — in 300+ data centres worldwide. Unlike AWS Lambda or Vercel serverless functions that run in one or a few regions, Workers execute in the data centre closest to the requesting user, achieving response times of 1–50ms vs 100–300ms for regional serverless. Workers also have no cold starts.
Best use cases include: request/response modification (adding headers, transforming data), API proxying and caching, edge A/B testing, geographic content personalisation, bot protection and rate limiting, authentication middleware and performance optimisation (image resizing, HTML streaming).
Shopify stores can use Cloudflare Workers as a proxy layer for: custom subdomain routing, adding personalisation headers, implementing edge A/B tests on landing pages, redirecting traffic based on geo-location and caching storefront API responses for improved performance.
Cloudflare Workers are server-side functions handling individual HTTP requests — they process and respond to requests at the edge. Cloudflare Pages is a static site and JAMstack deployment platform (similar to Vercel) with Workers as the backend. Many applications use Pages for static assets with Workers for dynamic request handling.
Cloudflare Workers free plan includes 100,000 requests/day. The Paid plan ($5/month) includes 10 million requests/month with additional requests billed at $0.50 per million. Workers have a 10ms CPU time limit per request on the free plan and 50ms on paid — suitable for request processing but not heavy computation.
