This is an example project showing how you can build a website with Gatsby.js, and serve it at the edge using Cloudflare Workers.
Cloudflare Workers allows developers to write and deploy applications at the edge. When a user requests your site, your Worker will serve it directly from one of our hundreds of data centers around the world. Static sites are perfect fit for building extremely fast, high availability sites, and Cloudflare's default caching behavior will result in a high cache rate for the bulk of your site. The result is an easy-to-manage site, hosted at the edge, with the ability for further customization via editing the provided Workers function.
- The website is built locally using Gatsby (for development instructions, see
GATSBY_README.md) - The site is built and uploaded using Workers Sites
- A Cloudflare Worker script runs at your domain, and takes the requested path (e.g.
/about) and requests it from Workers KV.
Begin by installing the dependencies for this project (and additionally, install wrangler and gatsby globally if you don't already have them):
npm install -g @cloudflare/wrangler gatsby
You can use this repository as a template to build your own static site, using the wrangler generate command.
wrangler generate ttps://github.com/signalnerve/gatsby-cloudflare-workers/
If you haven't installed Wrangler yet, try our Quick Start guide for installing Wrangler, and getting up and running with Cloudflare Workers!
Develop your site locally:
npm run start
Develop your Worker with the Gatsby site locally:
npm run start-worker
When you're ready to deploy, build and deploy to GitHub:
npm run deploy
