Workerd - self-hosted nanoservices from Cloudflare

Cloudflare has recently announced the open-source release of WorkerD, its edge computing engine designed for developers who wish to have more control and flexibility over their applications. This new tool allows for the creation of microservices that can run directly at the edge of the network, meaning they can be closer to users, leading to improved performance for web applications. With WorkerD, developers can leverage the power of edge computing to implement their ideas while efficiently handling large volumes of data. This move towards open-source access to WorkerD represents a significant shift that democratizes programming tools, which were once predominantly available to larger companies. The potential for this open access is vast, as it could inspire innovation and new solutions, ultimately transforming the entire landscape of web applications.
