Workers: Serving code on the edge

You can deploy static content to the edge improving speed, but what about the rest of your code? To improve application performance you need your serverless code running at the edge as well. From running geo-based redirects to retrying or logging failed requests Workers can improve the performance of your applications.

Come join your fellow developers at Cloudflare’s Workershop to learn how to achieve this with Cloudflare Workers and our Developer Platform.

Through a series of hands-on labs and demos you will learn:

  • How to bootstrap, configure, and deploy a new project with Wrangler.
  • Debugging and troubleshooting methods via developer tools, analytics, and our integration with Sentry.
  • How to scale your application with a variety of storage options including Workers KV, Durable Objects, and R2.
Who Should Attend?

Front-end, back-end, and full-stack developers in the Bay Area, interested in using serverless functions on the edge, are invited to join us at Cloudflare’s Developers Workershop.

Pre-work: Install Wrangler

Participants can expect hands-on labs to learn how to create serverless functions with Workers. Attendance is by invitation only and complimentary. Registration is limited to a certain number of guests per event.
