a first look at cloudflare workers

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • wrangler-legacy

    Discontinued 🤠 Home to Wrangler v1 (deprecated)

  • wrangler is an officially supported CLI tool for Cloudflare Workers. It's a bit of a process to install. I recommend starting at the Wrangler CLI Install/Update page on the Cloudflare Documentation site to see if any of the options listed are already configured on your machine. Use Cargo if you can.

  • nvm

    Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

  • My terminal would go haywire and melt down in some sort of infinite loop of never ending gibberish of random digital characters, which I guess technically falls under the definition of an error message. The README points to a list of EIGHT potential troubleshooting steps, which is possibly a signal that too many troubles arise when using this codebase.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  • At the end of the list there was a link to what I am sure is an absolutely riveting 7 year old, 170 comment long issue at which point I gave up on trying to use nvm. I ended up finding a workaround with HomeBrew, cargo, and rustup that took about a minute to install and configure.

  • worker-template

    a template to kickstart your Cloudflare worker!

  • wrangler generate will scaffold a Cloudflare Workers project from a public GitHub repository.
