Building a SaaS backend on Cloudflare Workers

Cloudflare Workers have become a strong default for API-heavy products.

Why Workers

You get globally distributed execution, low cold-start pain, and a nice developer loop.

Trade-offs

You still need to design around limits:

• request CPU budgets,
• storage consistency models,
• and vendor-specific tooling.

For B2B SaaS, those trade-offs are usually worth it when speed-to-iteration matters more than perfect portability.
