slack-next-generation-platform-tutorials VS wrangler-legacy

While it has become easier to automate within Slack, there are things that cannot be done with existing app development. For example, as of 2023, you cannot add slash commands to the entire workspace or set a home tab for users. Also, note that this next-generation platform feature is only available in paid Slack workspaces, and usage charges apply for workflow executions that exceed the free tier. For more details, please read the series of articles I wrote a few months ago: https://dev.to/seratch/series/21161

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
