Python Workers are now generally available (blog.cloudflare.com)

Pyodide is such a cool piece of the Python ecosystem. I hope Cloudflare consider throwing some money their direction: https://opencollective.com/pyodide/contribute

This is the tech at Cloudflare of course, but I swear that my first interpretation of the title was "We have replaced all our python coders with AI and they (the coders) are out and generally available" :-)

Yep - I immediately thought this was going to be some "Python SWE on the cloud for hire" service.

Yeah I initially read it as a headline about the grim state of the software dev jobs market.

One day it’ll be similarly beautifully trivial to use go too. I hope.

How do these perform for cold-starts? I remember one of the disadvantages of using web assembly for Workers was more spin-up time, but maybe they figured out a way around that.

We’ve got some cold start numbers in our previous blog post: https://blog.cloudflare.com/python-workers-advancements/.

There is still more to do here and it’s what we will be focusing on next.

Thanks, we've been using firecracker VMs with AWS MicroVM[1] and Fly.io Sprites[1] but interested in using Workers instead

The cold start numbers on that blog post show that its faster than AWS Lambda but your linked benchmark page [1] shows that Lambda is not only much faster but also much more consistent.

They should support Mojo which might be a great fit for edge compute.

Elixir next ;) with clustering across workers (kind of kidding because elixir probably does not make sense for CF workers)

All example pages return 404.
