Introducing Workers Unbound

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has launched Workers Unbound, a new platform that extends CPU limits and enables developers to bring all their workloads onto it, regardless of how intensive they are. This makes it possible for developers to run heavy computation tasks on the Edge without having to choose between running fast, simple work or running complex algorithms in a centralized cloud with unlimited resources. Workers Unbound is built as a general-purpose computing platform and aims to be more compelling than traditional, centralized serverless platforms. The platform offers significant cost savings compared to AWS Lambda due to its lightweight nature and efficient architecture. Cloudflare is currently offering Workers Unbound in a private beta for select developers.
