Cloudflare Workers Pricing, Features & Alternatives
Serverless applications, APIs, and request logic across a globally distributed edge network.
Cloudflare Workers runs serverless code across Cloudflare’s global edge network. It is strongest when you want low-latency request handling, middleware, APIs, or full-stack apps close to users without managing regions yourself. Workers versions provide rollback, gradual deployment, and preview URLs. Database recovery and read-replica capabilities in this profile come from D1; global read replication is public beta, uses the supported Sessions path, and recovery history is plan-limited.
Best for
Globally distributed APIs, middleware, full-stack web applications, personalization, authentication, and request processing close to users.
Watch out for
Workers uses an isolate-based runtime rather than a conventional server process, and many storage, database, queue, analytics, and networking features are billed separately.

FAQ
What database should I use with Cloudflare Workers?
Use D1 for relational SQL, Hyperdrive to connect to an existing Postgres or MySQL database, and Durable Objects when you need strongly consistent state or coordination. Workers KV suits read-heavy key-value data, while R2 provides object storage.
How much does Cloudflare Workers cost?

What are the Cloudflare Workers free plan limits?
The Workers Free plan currently includes 100,000 requests per day with a 10 millisecond CPU-time limit per invocation. Other Workers products and bindings have their own allowances and limits.
Is Cloudflare Workers good for serverless functions?
Yes, when the workload fits an edge-oriented serverless runtime. Workers supports HTTP and event-driven functions on Cloudflare’s network, but its V8-isolate runtime and execution limits differ from traditional VM- or container-backed function platforms.
How much does Cloudflare KV cost?
Workers KV is metered separately from the base Workers plan. Current pricing is $0.50 per million reads, $5 per million writes, and $0.50 per GB-month of stored data after included allowances.
