Are Cloudflare Workers kind of awful?

1 points| breckenedge | 5 months ago

Been dealing with a legacy collection of CloudFlare workers and wondering why anyone would ever choose this technology.

One issue: URL wildcard patters are way too easy to fuck up. Workers won’t match URL parameters without a wildcard, but adding a wildcard will make it start matching unintended paths.

What are the alternatives?

There aren't many. Those that are potentially have worse documentation and/or issues.
