Cloudflare worker is a serverless computing platform offered by Cloudflare. Unlike other serverless platforms like AWS Lambda or google cloud function, Cloudflare worker has a 0ms cold start. Which makes your code runs almost instantly when a request comes.
Recently Cloudflare introduces Miniflare. As its name suggests, Miniflare is a feature-rich but miniature version of Cloudflare worker. Miniflare is a simulator that provides an environment for developing and testing Cloudflare worker scripts locally. Miniflare is written in typescript and supports most of the Cloudflare worker features like the KV database, durable objects, WebSockets, etc.
When your worker script becomes very long and complex, developers like you and me find it very hard to manage the code itself. Using esbuild with Cloudflare Worker, you can separate your code into different files.
