Building With Workers KV, a Fast Distributed Key-Value Store
Cloudflare has introduced a new feature called Workers KV, which is a low-latency key-value data store that lives within its network across 152+ data centers worldwide. This feature complements the existing Cloudflare Workers platform, allowing developers to write serverless code that runs on the edge of the Internet and provides faster engagement with users compared to other platforms. The Workers KV is a highly distributed, eventually-consistent key-value store designed for applications requiring high speed and fault tolerance. It enables developers to build various types of applications, such as API gateways, dynamic data customization, configuration management, and cloud functions. Currently in limited beta, the pricing for Workers KV includes $0.50 per GB-month of additional storage and $0.50 per million additional KV reads beyond the included minimums.
