Serverless Rust with Cloudflare Workers

The author discusses how Cloudflare's Serverless Platform, Cloudflare Workers, now supports WebAssembly (WASM) within Workers. They demonstrate the process of converting a lipsum generator to use Rust and explore the developer experience. The author also highlights that WASM is not always the right tool for every task, but it serves as a good opportunity to illustrate the developer experience and tooling. They provide step-by-step instructions on how to set up the environment with wasm-pack, build with wasm-pack build, and test in a browser before uploading as a worker. The author also discusses the challenges faced while working with WASM and provides solutions for them. Finally, they share their excitement about being able to compile Rust to WASM and call it from Serverless functions woven into the very fabric of the Internet.
