It's as bad as Deno Deploy has always been (used by Netlify edge functions, Supabase, and others).

To me CF Workers are more about interacting with the CF CDN, doing lightweight HTTP stuff, etc. I would never use Workers to build a full server application. Their custom runtime locks you in, it's extremely barebones, and obviously almost no NPM modules are compatible.

They are working on Node compat which will probably help but I feel CF hasn't been investing enough into their cloud products (Workers, Pages, etc). DX is still hit and miss and progress overall feels glacial.



Very well said. What would you say CF has been investing in instead?


My superficial impression is they've been investing more in their networking services for enterprise customers but don't take my word for it. I don't pay much attention to their announcement weeks.
