Simple, scalable, and global: Containers are coming to Cloudflare Workers in June 2025

Cloudflare announces an open beta of Cloudflare Containers, a globally distributed, on-demand container platform deeply integrated with Workers and Durable Objects to enable programmable routing, lifecycle control, and secure service-to-service communication. The post showcases stateful and stateless deployment patterns, sidecar-style management via Durable Objects (start/stop/exec/monitor), API gateway and service mesh use cases, custom orchestration, and integrations with Workflows, Agents, and R2. It details autoscaling, regional pre-warming, health checks, and security controls (private-by-default, encrypted traffic, controlled egress), and presents pricing with per-10ms metering for CPU, memory, and disk, along with a cost comparison to Google Cloud Run. The emphasis is on choosing the right compute (Workers vs. Containers) per request and simplifying development by composing platform primitives.
