Edge computing with Cloudflare Workers

Recently I migrated my blog. I wanted to follow it up with some experiments that can be run on top of a statically generated page. One of them was a micro link shortener for the tools I use. Another one, a bit more involving, was providing some kind of statistics for my blog. I wanted to do it without any additional scripts, keep it really simple and make it transparent for readers. To make this happen I used Cloudflare Workers that delivers serverless, edge computation with an AP database and v8 isolates. I know it’s a lot of mouthful words, so let me dissect it bit by bit.
