Browser Rendering API GA, rolling out Cloudflare Snippets, SWR, and bringing Workers for Platforms to all users
Browser Rendering API is now available to all paid Workers customers with improved session management. The API allows developers to control and interact with a headless browser instance for automation flows in their applications and products. With the new feature of session management, developers can reuse previously opened browsers across Worker's scripts, increasing performance and lowering costs. Browser Rendering is now available to all customers with a paid Workers plan, and each account is limited to running two new browsers per minute and two concurrent browsers at no cost during this period. Additionally, Cloudflare Snippets are being rolled out for testing, allowing developers to perform complex HTTP request and response modifications on the platform. Asynchronous revalidation with stale-while-revalidate (SWR) cache directive is also in development, expected to be released in the second half of 2024. Workers for Platforms will be available under a new $25 pay-as-you-go plan on April 16, 2024, allowing developers to embed personalization and customization directly into their products.
