Containers are available in public beta for simple, global, and programmable compute

Cloudflare announces a beta release of Containers integrated with Workers, enabling globally distributed, on-demand containerized workloads with simple Wrangler-based development and deployment, built-in observability (metrics and logs), and usage-based pricing. The post outlines configuration via wrangler.jsonc, local development with wrangler dev, production deployment with wrangler deploy, example use cases (e.g., code sandboxing, media processing, cron jobs, containerized backends), and a roadmap for higher limits, global autoscaling and latency-aware routing, richer Worker–Container communication (exec and request handling), and deeper integrations with the broader developer platform (R2, KV, Hyperdrive, Queues, Workflows, Agents).
