Cloudflare Workers and KV @ the Edge can do a lot to manage the control plane.

Ah yes, thanks for pointing out that it's compiled to WASM... I meant in comparison to other languages like Python were it's compiled (transpiled?) to Javascript: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/languages...

Using Python for Workers was weird, and it felt like you needed to be both a Python and JS expert to make it work.
