Cloudflare Workers

Edge serverless functions — I used Workers to probe network latency from different edge locations.

  • #cloud
  • #edge

Cloudflare Workers run JavaScript at Cloudflare's edge locations, close to users and to third-party services.

How I use it

In Real-time Data Systems, I deployed small Workers (configured with Wrangler) to measure round-trip latency to external services from different edge locations, then merged the results to decide where latency-sensitive components should run.

Why it matters

Latency is geography; measuring it from several places beats guessing which region is closest.
