“Unmatched global edge performance with near-zero cold starts via V8 isolates, zero egress bandwidth fees, and a deeply integrated serverless ecosystem (Workers, Pages, D1, R2, Hyperdrive) providing industry-leading cost-efficiency and scale for modern fullstack web apps (near-tie with Vercel on developer ergonomics, but edges ahead on runtime economics and global latency).”
