The previous Worker in-front of the cache never made sense to my old school proxy in-front of the appserver mindset. Already using this to speed up a tool. Nice work.

It makes sense in a world where Cloudflare is something that runs in front of your app. You need to run some arbitrary code before their logic, including their cache. If you wanted something that ran after the cache, you could put it in your app, you didn’t need the worker. That was Cloudflare when Workers launched.

But now the platform has evolved to where you’re running the entire app from Workers.

Cloudflare Snippets were actually better if you wanted to run logic before the cache (they are entirely free)
