I think performance takes a hit due to WASM, and I imagine pricing is worse at big qps numbers (where you can saturate instances), but I've found that deploying on CF workers is great for little-to-no devops burden. Scales up/down arbitrarily, pretty reasonable set of managed services, no cold start times to deal with, etc.

Only issue is that some of the managed services are still pretty half-baked, and introduce insane latency into things that should not be slow. KV checks/DB queries through their services can be double-to-triple digit ms latencies depending on configs.

The performance hit is less because of WASM but because the Workers platform is fundamentally defined in terms of Javascript and WASM is just a thing the JS engine has as a feature, so everything has to be proxied through JS objects and code, serialized into byte arrays, handed to the WASM, and same story in reverse.

We need WASM-native interfaces to get common to get rid of JS.

I ended up using container service on azure for a small rust project that I built in a docker container and published to GitHub. GitHub actions publishes to the azure service and in the 3 years I have been running it, it's basically been almost entirely free.

I have a similar experience except I use Go+GitHub Actions+Google Cloud Run.
