01.Evaluation guide

Who it suits

Code that should run in every Cloudflare data centre rather than one chosen region, where 10 ms of free CPU per request is enough to start and a $5 account minimum then covers Workers, KV, Hyperdrive and Durable Objects together.

Consider something else if…

The work is CPU-bound or long-running: the free plan allows 10 ms of CPU per HTTP request and stops at 100,000 requests a day, and the paid plan defaults to 30 seconds rather than the 5-minute ceiling.

  • Smart Placement · Cloudflare Workers docs ↗

    “By default, Workers and Pages Functions run in a data center closest to where the request was received. If your Worker makes requests to back-end infrastructure such as databases or APIs, it may be more performant to run that Worker closer to your back-end than the end user.”

Uptime SLA99.99% monthly uptime, in a dedicated Workers SLA that applies to use of Workers only and names no plan tier. Like the R2 and Queues SLAs it settles its own precedence over "other agreement governing Customer’s use of the Services", so the application-services plan table — which covers the website plans, not the Developer Platform — does not qualify it. The remedy is a credit set as a percentage of the fees paid for that product in the preceding 30 days, so the commitment stands on a free account while the compensation for breaching it is worth nothing there.
