we have this crazy key-value store at Cloudflare called Quicksilver
instantly updates keys across our whole network. microsecond reads from every location. stupid fast
our customers have asked us for years to make it available
we finally did – in a way we think is quite simple - as a new mode for Workers KV
Workers KV Instant
after using Python Workers:
"I've got rid of 2 VPSs this weekend by moving 2 Flask apps and 2 Django apps to Workers. I never thought it would be so easy."
new OTEL tracing APIs in the Workers runtime:
tracing.startSpan(name)
tracing.getActiveSpan()
span.recordException(exception)
span.setAttributes(attributes)
OpenTelemetry with zero dependencies
Python Workers are now GA — Python is a first-class language on Cloudflare
FastAPI, Django, Flask — just work
bindings, database connections — just work
running untrusted Python code (Dynamic Python Workers) — just works
CloudflareOS is everything that you wish Google Workspace could do well, but can't
just went from data question to spreadsheet to pricing memo with a real-time editor in one browser tab
then sent someone on my team a link to all of it (including original prompt) — we can both keep prompting and make direct edits
all of this is possible to get done with codex/claude via computer use and integrations — but i am telling you it is night and day faster this way, and I don't worry about security/permissions at all because cfos makes the footguns impossible, in a way nothing else can
what starts out as a toy...
