Open source alternatives to Cloudflare Workers

One project on starwire does the same job. Ranked by how much of what Cloudflare Workers does each one covers, read from its README and website. Ties go to the most active.

What Cloudflare Workers does

  1. Serverless functions at the edgecore
  2. Global deploymentcore
  3. Key-value and SQL storage
  4. Object storage
  5. Queues and cron triggers
  6. Local dev tooling

Each dot in the table is one job, in this order. Square dots are core jobs and count double. Full means yes, half means partly. "See the evidence" under a project shows the line behind each one. Coverage is what a project documents, not how well it works or how hard it is to move to. How we score this
