Cloudflare Workers enable serverless edge computing by deploying functions globally with low latency. Use Hono for routing, Wrangler for deployment, and Workers KV for caching to build APIs that execute at the edge without managing infrastructure.

Yes, Workers AI lets you run language models and generate content directly at the edge. Integrate AI capabilities into your Workers-based applications to create AI-enabled services without external API calls, reducing latency and costs.

Durable Objects provide stateful compute on Cloudflare's edge. Use them to manage real-time features like WebSocket connections and maintain application state across requests, combined with KV storage for persistence and caching.

Use Hono as a lightweight web framework for routing and request handling in Workers. Configure module export patterns and environment bindings through Wrangler to structure your serverless application and manage dependencies securely.

Yes, Workers support WebSocket connections through Durable Objects for state management. Build real-time collaborative applications and live-updating services by combining WebSockets with stateful compute and KV storage for caching.

Edge functions have execution time limits and memory constraints optimized for low-latency response. Complex long-running tasks or CPU-intensive operations are better suited to origin servers, while Workers excel at caching, routing, and lightweight transformations.
