> The Cloudflare model for Workers really deserves to become a de facto standard
Our small tech shop has been using Workers since Jan 2020. Leaving behind the monstrous and intimidating world of AWS, I simply couldn't contain my excitement, even back then. In the words of Eminem, Ease over these beats and be so breezy; Jesus, how can shit be so easy?!
Today, the entire platform around Workers is nothing short of astonishing. With Cloudflare's clout, Kenton and his team have utterly transformed serverless computing, staying true to the lessons-learnt from running sandstorm [0] way back when [1]!
It is almost comical (or diabolical, depending) that none of the Big3 have bothered competing with them. It is only the upstarts like Bun, Deno, SecondState, Kalix (Lightbend) and others that are keeping Cloudflare honest.
