Serverless Performance: Cloudflare Workers, Lambda and [email protected]

In this text, Zack Bloom discusses the performance of Cloudflare Workers, a serverless JavaScript execution platform. He compares its speed to Amazon's Lambda service and Google's Firebase Functions, using data from thousands of tests conducted worldwide over 12 hours. The results show that at the 95th percentile, Workers is significantly faster than both Lambda (441%) and Firebase Functions (192%). Bloom attributes this performance advantage to factors such as V8 isolates, efficient memory management, and running on Cloudflare's global network of machines. He encourages readers to try out Workers and provides additional resources for learning more about the platform.
