Learn CLOUDFLARE-WORKERS with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 25, 2025
Architecture
Workers run in V8 isolates at Cloudflare edge nodes
Requests routed via Cloudflare’s global network
Optional KV or Durable Objects for state
Event-driven execution model
Functions deployed globally via Workers CLI or API
Rendering Model
Client request -> Cloudflare edge node
Worker executes in V8 isolate
Optional access to KV/Durable Object state
Response returned to client
Requests handled in parallel across edge nodes
