The Migration of Legacy Applications to Workers

What's this blog post about?

The text discusses the migration of legacy applications onto Cloudflare Workers, a serverless compute platform that offers zero-trust security. It highlights the benefits of such a move, including instant scaling, no need for separate credentials, and reduced operational costs. The author demonstrates this process using an example application written in Node.js. They explain how to use four key Cloudflare technologies - Serverless Compute through Workers, Robust Developer-focused Tooling via Wrangler, Zero-Trust security through Access, and Instant, Secure Origin Tunnels through Argo Tunnels - to simplify the migration process. The text also provides a step-by-step guide on how to use these technologies in practice.
