Edge Computing for Web Developers
A 16-lesson course on building web apps that run at the edge.
A 16-lesson course on edge computing for web developers. Covers edge runtimes, Workers, KV stores, caching patterns, auth at the edge, and the trade-offs of edge vs. origin compute.
By the end of the course, you will have built and deployed an edge-cached, edge-authenticated web app on Cloudflare Workers.
Who this is for: Web developers who want to add edge computing to their toolkit.
What you'll learn
- How edge runtimes differ from origin compute
- How to build and deploy Cloudflare Workers
- How to implement caching, auth, and routing at the edge
- When to use the edge and when to stick with origin compute
- How to monitor and debug edge workers in production
