Summary

You can now add a Deploy to Cloudflare button to the README of your Git repository containing a Workers application, making it simple for other developers to quickly set up and deploy your project. This feature creates a new Git repository on your GitHub/GitLab account, provisions resources needed by the app, configures Workers Builds (CI/CD), adds preview URLs to each pull request, and allows self-hosting with minimal setup. By adding this button, you can make your open-source project accessible to others without requiring deep infrastructure expertise, enabling them to deploy their own instance of your app in one shot, which means more traction, feedback, and contributions. The feature is available for both starter projects and full-stack applications, including complex pieces of software, making self-hosting easy with Cloudflare.
