Introducing Workers KV
In 1864, Charles Babbage described the first key-value store as part of his Analytical Engine, which was never built. Today, Cloudflare has announced a native key-value store for its Workers platform called Workers KV. This functionality is just the start of a sequence of announcements around storage and databases on the edge. Values are written into Workers KV via the standard Cloudflare API and are available within seconds at every one of Cloudflare's 150+ global PoPs. Some use cases for Workers KV include shopping cart storage, A/B testing, authentication verification, and page construction. With the addition of Workers KV, Cloudflare Workers moves closer to being a complete compute platform embedded inside the Internet.
