Introducing WebSockets Support in Cloudflare Workers
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.
