Hi PH! I'm on the Workers team at Cloudflare and would love for you to checkout what the team has been up to! Workers Sites is what we think modern development on the web should look like: - 🔒natively secure - 🔥fast - 📊massively scalable We built Workers Sites to let developers easily deploy their static sites (like blogs, marketing sites, or portfolios) directly to the network, closer to users. You're free to extend the core of what we've written in any way you see fit! Create APIs, modify HTML, or add any other dynamic elements your site needs, all on the Cloudflare Workers serverless platform. You can get Workers Sites with our Workers Unlimited plan, starting at $5 / mo. It includes 10 million Workers requests and up to 30 sites. Check out the docs here: https://developers.cloudflare.co... Happy to answer any questions!

Hey Remy, this looks great! 🙌 We're a big user of Firebase - with their DB, hosting, cloud functions and file hosting, they form a big part of our stack. Could you explain how Workers Sites differs from Firebase?
Remy Guercio
Hey @jeremynevans ! The big difference for most people is going to be speed. When you deploy your site with Workers Sites it deploys to our network vs a single cloud region. As of today, our network spans 194 cities in over 90 countries, which means your site is going to be fast and close to users no matter where they are in the world. Another cool thing is that any functions written in Workers and data in Workers KV will also be available in each network location as well. Also, since Workers can directly modify anything sent back to the user, you can build what is essentially a fully dynamic static site (ha I know sounds a bit odd) without sacrificing performance! Does that help answer your question?

@remy_guercio It does, thanks! Does this mean your serverless functions can be pretty much as responsive (including wakeup time) as a standard server-based backend?
Remy Guercio
@jeremynevans Yep! Workers is built using V8 Isolates rather than the more traditional container method, so we end up with very fast cold starts. More detailed info on performance: https://blog.cloudflare.com/serv...

What static site generator should we make a quick start for next?
