Cloudflare Workers have got some new and good improvements and additions
Cloudflare Workers got some new improvements:
- Cloudflare Workers now provides production ready, generally available (GA) support for React Router v7 (Remix), Astro, Hono, Vue.js, Nuxt, Svelte (SvelteKit), and more, with GA support for more frameworks including Next.js, Angular, and SolidJS (SolidStart) to follow in Q2 2025.
- You can build complete full-stack apps on Workers without a framework: you can “just use Vite” and React together, and build a backend API in the same Worker. See our Vite + React template for an example.
- The Cloudflare Vite plugin is now v1.0 and generally available. The Vite plugin allows you to run Vite’s development server in the Workers runtime (
workerd), meaning you get all the benefits of Vite, including Hot Module Replacement, while still being able to use features that are exclusive to Workers (like Durable Objects). - The adapter for Next.js — @opennextjs/cloudflare, introduced in September 2024 as an early alpha, is now v1.0-beta, and will be GA in the coming weeks. Those using the OpenNext adapter will also be able to easily upgrade to the recently announced Next.js Deployments API.
- You can now use static _headers and _redirects configuration files for your applications on Workers, something that was previously only available on Pages. These files allow you to add simple headers and configure redirects without executing any Worker code.
- In addition to PostgreSQL, you can now connect to MySQL databases in addition from Cloudflare Workers, via Hyperdrive. Bring your existing Planetscale, AWS, GCP, Azure, or other MySQL database, and Hyperdrive will take care of pooling connections to your database and eliminating unnecessary roundtrips by caching queries.
