Build serverless backends

Running backend code on traditional servers requires provisioning capacity, managing scaling, and accepting cold starts. Cloudflare Workers runs your server-side code at the edge with fast startup, automatic scaling, and global distribution across 300+ locations.

Build and deploy serverless applications on Cloudflare's global network. Learn more about Workers.

• Global deployment - Code runs at the Cloudflare location nearest to each user automatically
• Fast startup - V8 isolates start in milliseconds with no warm-up period, avoiding the cold start delays of container-based platforms
• Auto-scaling - Handle traffic spikes without provisioning or configuration

Schedule Workers to run on a recurring basis. Learn more about Cron Triggers.

• Scheduled tasks - Run Workers on a fixed schedule for background jobs and periodic tasks
