More NPM packages on Cloudflare Workers: Combining polyfills and native code to support Node.js APIs

Cloudflare has announced a preview of improved Node.js compatibility for its Workers and Pages, allowing users to utilize more NPM packages and benefit from the JavaScript ecosystem when writing their Workers. The latest version combines the best features of previous efforts, enabling users to import far more NPM packages on Workers and use more Node.js APIs. This improved compatibility will soon become the default for all Workers with the existing nodejs_compat flag enabled, and a compatibility date of 2024-09-23 or later.
