Cloudflare Implementation Skill
Scaffold production-ready Cloudflare Workers following modern patterns with Hono, Drizzle ORM, and TypeScript.
Technology Stack
| Layer | Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Router | Hono v4+ | Lightweight, fast, TypeScript-first |
| ORM | Drizzle | Type-safe D1 queries, migrations |
| Validation | Zod | Request/response validation |
| Runtime | Workers | Edge compute |

Best Practices Summary
D1 Queries
// GOOD: Batch inserts
const BATCH_SIZE = 1000;
for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i += BATCH_SIZE) {
await db.insert(table).values(items.slice(i, i + BATCH_SIZE));
}
// BAD: Per-row inserts (N statements = N x cost)
for (const item of items) {
await db.insert(table).values(item);
}
Queue Safety
CRITICAL: Always configure DLQs and implement idempotency:
{
"queues": {
"consumers": [{
"queue": "events",
"max_retries": 1, // LOW retries
"dead_letter_queue": "events-dlq" // REQUIRED
}]
}
}
R2 Asset Caching
Always implement edge caching to avoid $0.36/M Class B costs:
// Check cache first
const cached = await caches.default.match(cacheKey);
if (cached) return cached;
// Fetch from R2 and cache
const object = await bucket.get(key);
const response = new Response(object.body, {
headers: { 'Cache-Control': 'public, max-age=31536000' }
});
ctx.waitUntil(caches.default.put(cacheKey, response.clone()));
