I love the idea of Cloudflare workers & really want to play with them in some spare time, but I've not really got any idea what I could actually _do_ with them ...

What are people using CF Workers for? Any interesting use cases?

At $DAYJOB I need to set up demos of a system that provides a dynamic UI to provision various products. The system can emit webhooks for validation of incoming parameters (email, address, etc). With CF workers and almost zero prior knowledge of JS I was able to set up a working validation endpoint in about an hour.

CF provides a very neat way to route requests to subdomains to specific workers and terminates SSL, which was perfect for my use-case.

There are some examples there and also a section of built with Workers. (Random CF employee)
