description	Build and deploy on Cloudflare's edge platform. Use when creating Workers, Pages, D1 databases, R2 storage, AI inference, or KV storage. Triggers on Cloudflare, Workers, Cloudflare Pages, D1, R2, KV, Cloudflare AI, Durable Objects, edge computing.

Cloudflare Platform

Build globally distributed applications on Cloudflare's edge network.

Quick Start

# Install Wrangler CLI
npm install -g wrangler

# Login
wrangler login

# Create new Worker
wrangler init my-worker

# Deploy
wrangler deploy

Workers

Basic Worker

// src/index.ts
export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): Promise<Response> {
    const url = new URL(request.url);
    
    if (url.pathname === '/api/hello') {
      return Response.json({ message: 'Hello from the edge!' });
    }
    
    return new Response('Not Found', { status: 404 });
  },
};

Request Routing

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const url = new URL(request.url);
    const { pathname } = url;
    
    // Router pattern
    const routes: Record<string, () => Promise<Response>> = {
      '/api/users': () => handleUsers(request, env),
      '/api/posts': () => handlePosts(request, env),
    };
    
    const handler = routes[pathname];
    if (handler) {
      return handler();
    }
    
    // Wildcard matching
    if (pathname.startsWith('/api/users/')) {
      const userId = pathname.split('/')[3];
      return handleUser(userId, request, env);
    }
    
    return new Response('Not Found', { status: 404 });
  },
};

KV Storage

interface Env {
  MY_KV: KVNamespace;
}

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const url = new URL(request.url);
    
    // Set value
    await env.MY_KV.put('key', 'value', {
      expirationTtl: 3600, // 1 hour
      metadata: { created: Date.now() },
    });
    
    // Get value
    const value = await env.MY_KV.get('key');
    
    // Get with metadata
    const { value: data, metadata } = await env.MY_KV.getWithMetadata('key');
    
    // List keys
    const list = await env.MY_KV.list({ prefix: 'user:' });
    
    // Delete
    await env.MY_KV.delete('key');
    
    return Response.json({ value });
  },
};

D1 Database (SQLite)

interface Env {
  DB: D1Database;
}

// Create tables (run once via wrangler d1 execute)
// wrangler d1 execute my-database --file=./schema.sql

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    // Query
    const { results } = await env.DB.prepare(
      'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?'
    ).bind(1).all();
    
    // Insert
    const { meta } = await env.DB.prepare(
      'INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES (?, ?)'
    ).bind('Alice', '[e-mail]').run();
    
    // Batch operations
    const batch = await env.DB.batch([
      env.DB.prepare('INSERT INTO logs (action) VALUES (?)').bind('login'),
      env.DB.prepare('UPDATE users SET last_login = ? WHERE id = ?').bind(Date.now(), 1),
    ]);
    
    // First result only
    const user = await env.DB.prepare(
      'SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ?'
    ).bind('[e-mail]').first();
    
    return Response.json({ results, insertId: meta.last_row_id });
  },
};

Schema Example

-- schema.sql
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  name TEXT NOT NULL,
  email TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
  created_at DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS posts (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
  user_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
  title TEXT NOT NULL,
  content TEXT,
  FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id)
);
