Cloudflare Workers: A Comprehensive Guide 🚀

This repository contains the example code for the Medium article: "The Ultimate Guide to Cloudflare Workers". In this article, we explore the capabilities of Cloudflare Workers, an edge computing service that allows you to run your code closer to the user.

TThe application has two routes:

• /todo - returns a JSON todo list from an API source.
• /media - returns a random image from an API source.
