This article guides you on how to build a remote function for Slack's automation platform on Cloudflare Workers. The slack-cloudflare-workers library provides the toolset for swiftly creating such an app in TypeScript.

By the way, since the beginning of this year (2023), a new app development mechanism for extending the Workflow Builder, called the next-generation automation platform, has been added to the Slack platform.

The only Slack next-gen app specific part is SlackFunctionTester and its createContext utility. This utility helps you easily build valid arguments for a function. The utility is a quite simple library. It never prevents you from having various test patterns, so you can pass any test data as inputs, env, token, and others.

Recently, as a weekend hobby project, I created a Slack app development framework for Cloudflare Workers and Vercel Edge Functions.

Edge Runtime has become a buzzword in the technology landscape, driving dynamic, low-latency functions in platforms from AWS Lambda@Edge and Cloudflare Workers to Vercel Edge. Emphasizing its importance, Vercel recently changed "experimental-edge" to "edge", signaling official support in their popular Next.js framework.

It seems like the perfect usecase for Cloudflare Workers.

For this tutorial, I’ll use Cloudflare Workers as they’re really fast and easy to set up, but you can use pretty much any other serverless provider with support for JS.

Cloudflare has a wonderful serverless platform called Cloudflare Workers that allows you to write code without worrying about underlying hardware or software. Yesterday, they announced that Workers now have the ability to connect directly over TCP sockets. I want to use this feature to send an APRS packet to CWOP.

Sounds doable with Cloudflare Workers
