Edge Engineering

Edge-native architecture on Cloudflare Workers

Running everything in one regional data center adds latency for users far from it and adds cost for infrastructure you may not need. Stellar Forge designs and migrates applications onto Cloudflare's edge network — Workers, D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects — for systems that respond faster and cost less to run.

Why teams move to the edge

Traditional cloud deployments centralize compute in one or two regions, which means every request outside that region pays a latency tax. They also often carry idle capacity costs for traffic that's spiky rather than constant. Edge architecture runs logic closer to the user and scales to zero when it's not in use — but migrating to it correctly requires rethinking state, not just relocating code.

Our approach

Migration without a rewrite-from-scratch

Incremental migration paths from traditional cloud (AWS, GCP) to Workers, validated at each stage against production traffic.

State handled deliberately

Durable Objects, D1, and KV chosen based on actual consistency and access-pattern needs, not by default.

Cost modeled before committing

Request-based and compute-time cost projections compared against your current infrastructure spend.

Observability at the edge

Logging, tracing, and alerting that work across a distributed edge deployment, not just a single origin server.

What's included

  • AWS/GCP-to-Cloudflare Workers migration planning and execution
  • Edge-native application architecture (Workers, D1, R2, KV, Durable Objects)
  • API and gateway logic deployed at the edge for lower latency
  • Cost modeling and infrastructure spend reduction analysis
  • Edge security: WAF rules, rate limiting, and bot mitigation
