Experiences with external developer services?

Developers Cloudflare Workers

hi all! has anyone tried using a third party service for logging, error collecting, tracing, user data storage, etc in a worker? I know they’re all doable, but I’d love to hear actual experiences or tips.

in particular, I’m looking into writing an entire (small) application in a worker, on the free tier, and I’m leery of anything with a thick client that might put me over the 5ms CPU limit. i do need at least some kind of request and application level logging though, at minimum.

(and yes, i know workers aren’t really the right place to host a full application, especially on the free tier. this is just for fun!)

You can absolutely host a whole application in a Worker! The 5ms limit is applied very gently, I wouldn’t worry about hitting it unless you are doing very intense parsing, cryptography, or the like. We want you to be able to use Workers for meaningful things.
