We deserve a better streams API for JavaScript
The Web streams API has become ubiquitous in JavaScript runtimes but was designed for a different era. Here's what a modern streaming API could (should?) look like.
A year of improving Node.js compatibility in Cloudflare Workers
Over the year we have greatly expanded Node.js compatibility. There are hundreds of new Node.js APIs now available that make it easier to run existing Node.js code on our platform.
Bringing Node.js HTTP servers to Cloudflare Workers
We've implemented the node:http client and server APIs in Cloudflare Workers, allowing developers to migrate existing Node.js applications with minimal code changes.
New URLPattern API brings improved pattern matching to Node.js and Cloudflare Workers
Today we're announcing our latest contribution to Node.js, now available in v23.8.0: URLPattern.
More NPM packages on Cloudflare Workers: Combining polyfills and native code to support Node.js APIs
Workers now supports more NPM packages and Node.js APIs using an overhauled hybrid compatibility layer.
A Socket API that works across JavaScript runtimes — announcing a WinterCG spec and Node.js implementation of connect()
Engineers from Cloudflare and Vercel have published a specification of the connect() sockets API for review by the community, along with a Node.js compatible implementation of connect() that developers can start using today
More Node.js APIs in Cloudflare Workers — Streams, Path, StringDecoder
Today we are announcing support for three additional APIs from Node.js in Cloudflare Workers — stream, crypto, and http/https.request. This increases compatibility with the existing ecosystem of open source NPM packages, allowing you to use your preferred libraries in Workers.
Node.js compatibility for Cloudflare Workers – starting with Async Context Tracking, EventEmitter, Buffer, assert, and util
Over the coming months, Cloudflare Workers will start to roll out built-in compatibility with Node.js core APIs as part of an effort to support increased compatibility across JavaScript runtimes
The road to a more standards-compliant Workers API
We have been making improvements in the Workers runtime to increase alignment with Web Platform standards around event handling, task cancellation using AbortController, text encoding and decoding, URL parsing and pattern matching, and streams support.
A Community Group for Web-interoperable JavaScript runtimes
The Web-interoperable Runtimes Community Group is a new effort that brings contributors from Cloudflare Workers, Deno, and Node.js together to collaborate on common Web platform API standards.
Making connections with TCP and Sockets for Workers
The ability to make TCP and QUIC client connections from within Workers and Durable Objects, as well as the ability to connect to Workers over TCP and QUIC without using HTTP, will be coming to Cloudflare Workers. Here’s a peek at what we’re working on.
