Summary

Cloudflare has integrated its Cache API with Cloudflare Workers, giving users programmatic control over caches worldwide. The integration enables customers to modify content before writing it to cache and implement various caching behaviors like TTL or cache tags. One common use case is caching POST requests, which can significantly reduce load on origin servers. Since the beta release in September, usage of the Cache API has grown to serve thousands of requests per second.
