What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
GA on existing Workers Paid plan with scale-to-zero active-CPU pricing fits the free-tier-discipline (Rule 9) and co-locates with our Worker stack, but 1-3s cold starts, ephemeral disk, and manual scaling mean it is a batch/async fit, not a hot-path replacement, so guardrails (keep-warm or async-only) are required.
Next
Prototype a single containerized workload (e.g. a headless render or batch job) on Workers Paid, measure real cold-start + placement against a Tier-A platform's latency budget, and externalize all state (no reliance on ephemeral disk).
