Introducing WebSockets Support in Cloudflare Workers

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has released support for WebSockets in its serverless computing platform, Cloudflare Workers. This feature enables developers to create live-updating and interactive applications by combining the power of WebSockets with Durable Objects, a solution for building coordinated state on the edge. The integration allows for real-time communication between clients and servers without continuous polling, unlocking use cases such as live sports scores, chat applications, and more. Additionally, Cloudflare has provided a new template and documentation to help developers get started with WebSockets in Workers.
