From the author

Deploy applications and infrastructure to Cloudflare using Workers, Pages, and related platform services. Use when the user asks to deploy, host, publish, or set up a project on Cloudflare.
— the description by OpenAI

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

Cloudflare Deploy provides a centralized framework for developers to build, host, and manage projects on Cloudflare. It covers the entire ecosystem, including serverless compute (Workers), full-stack web hosting (Pages), persistent storage (D1, R2, KV), and AI-powered agent development. The skill includes decision trees to help select the right product for specific needs, authentication guidance, and troubleshooting steps for deployment issues.

What it does

  • Provides decision trees to select the appropriate Cloudflare product for compute, storage, AI, or networking.
  • Offers guidance on authenticating with the Cloudflare platform via CLI or CI/CD.
  • Includes a comprehensive product index for quick reference to documentation.
  • Provides specific patterns and API references for building stateful AI agents using the Agents SDK.
  • Offers troubleshooting steps for network-related deployment failures.
  • Supports infrastructure-as-code integration with tools like Pulumi and Terraform.

When to use it

  • When you need to deploy, host, or publish a project to Cloudflare.
  • When you are unsure which Cloudflare service (e.g., Workers vs. Pages) best fits your application requirements.
  • When you need to build stateful, globally distributed AI agents.
  • When you encounter network errors or timeouts during the deployment process.
  • When setting up persistent storage or database solutions within the Cloudflare ecosystem.

Advantages

  • Consolidates fragmented documentation into a single, navigable resource.
  • Simplifies product selection through clear, use-case-driven decision trees.
  • Provides actionable code patterns for complex tasks like AI agent development.
  • Addresses common deployment friction points like authentication and network sandboxing.

Usage examples

“I need to deploy a full-stack web application to Cloudflare. Which service should I use?”
The agent will guide you to use Cloudflare Pages for full-stack web apps with Git-based deployments.
“How do I build an AI chat agent on Cloudflare?”
The agent will provide the Agents SDK reference, including the AIChatAgent class and examples for streaming responses and managing message history.
“My deployment is failing with a network timeout error. What should I do?”
The agent will advise you to rerun the deployment command with the sandbox_permissions=require_escalated flag to bypass network restrictions.
“How do I store relational data for my worker?”
The agent will recommend using D1 for SQLite-based relational storage or Hyperdrive for connecting to existing Postgres/MySQL databases.

Documentation by OpenAI

Cloudflare Deploy

Consolidated skill for building on the Cloudflare platform. Use decision trees below to find the right product, then load detailed references.

Prerequisites

  • When sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls, rerun with sandbox_permissions=require_escalated.

  • The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values.

Authentication (Required Before Deploy)

Verify auth before wrangler deploy, wrangler pages deploy, or npm run deploy:

npx wrangler whoami    # Shows account if authenticated

Not authenticated? → references/wrangler/auth.md

  • Interactive/local: wrangler login (one-time OAuth)

  • CI/CD: Set CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN env var

Troubleshooting

Escalated Network Access

If deployment fails due to network issues (timeouts, DNS errors, connection resets), rerun the deploy with escalated permissions (use sandbox_permissions=require_escalated). The deploy requires escalated network access when sandbox networking blocks outbound requests.

Example guidance to the user:

The deploy needs escalated network access to deploy to Cloudflare. I can rerun the command with escalated permissions—want me to proceed?

Wrangler Configuration

Basic Container Config
{
  "name": "my-worker",
  "main": "src/index.ts",
  "compatibility_date": "2026-01-10",
  "containers": [
    {
      "class_name": "MyContainer",
      "image": "./Dockerfile",  // Path to Dockerfile or directory with Dockerfile
      "instance_type": "standard-1",  // Predefined or custom (see below)
      "max_instances": 10
    }
  ],
  "durable_objects": {
    "bindings": [
      {

        "class_name": "MyContainer"
      }
    ]
  },
  "migrations": [
    {
      "tag": "v1",
      "new_sqlite_classes": ["MyContainer"]  // Must use new_sqlite_classes
    }
  ]
}

Key config requirements:

  • image - Path to Dockerfile or directory containing Dockerfile

  • class_name - Must match Container class export name

  • max_instances - Max concurrent container instances

  • Must configure Durable Objects binding AND migrations

    }

}
Custom Types (Jan 2026 Feature)
{
  "containers": [
    {
      "class_name": "MyContainer",
      "image": "./Dockerfile",
      "instance_type_custom": {
        "vcpu": 2,              // 1-4 vCPU
        "memory_mib": 8192,     // 512-12288 MiB (up to 12 GiB)
        "disk_mib": 16384       // 2048-20480 MiB (up to 20 GB)
      }
    }
  ]
}

Custom type constraints:

  • Minimum 3 GiB memory per vCPU

  • Maximum 2 GB disk per 1 GiB memory

  • Max 4 vCPU, 12 GiB memory, 20 GB disk per container

Container Class Properties
import { Container } from "@cloudflare/containers";

export class MyContainer extends Container {
  // Port Configuration
  defaultPort = 8080;             // Default port for fetch() calls
  requiredPorts = [8080, 9090];   // Ports to wait for in startAndWaitForPorts()

  // Lifecycle
  sleepAfter = "30m";             // Inactivity timeout (5m, 30m, 2h, etc.)

  // Network
  enableInternet = true;          // Allow outbound internet access

  // Health Check
  pingEndpoint = "/health";       // Health check endpoint path

  // Environment
  envVars = {                     // Environment variables passed to container
    NODE_ENV: "production",
    LOG_LEVEL: "info"
  };

  // Startup
  entrypoint = ["/bin/start.sh"]; // Override image entrypoint (optional)
}

Property details:

  • defaultPort: Port used when calling container.fetch() without explicit port. Falls back to port 33 if not set.

  • requiredPorts: Array of ports that must be listening before startAndWaitForPorts() returns. First port becomes default if defaultPort not set.

  • sleepAfter: Duration string (e.g., "5m", "30m", "2h"). Container stops after this period of inactivity. Timer resets on each request.

  • enableInternet: Boolean. If true, container can make outbound HTTP/TCP requests.

  • pingEndpoint: Path used for health checks. Should respond with 2xx status.

  • envVars: Object of environment variables. Merged with runtime-provided vars (see below).

  • entrypoint: Array of strings. Overrides container image's CMD/ENTRYPOINT.

Runtime Environment Variables

Cloudflare automatically provides these environment variables to containers:

VariableDescription
CLOUDFLARE_APPLICATION_IDWorker application ID
CLOUDFLARE_COUNTRY_A2Two-letter country code of request origin
CLOUDFLARE_LOCATIONCloudflare data center location
CLOUDFLARE_REGIONRegion identifier
CLOUDFLARE_DURABLE_OBJECT_IDContainer's Durable Object ID

Custom envVars from Container class are merged with these. Custom vars override runtime vars if names conflict.

Image Management

Distribution model: Images pre-fetched to all global locations before deployment. Ensures fast cold starts (2-3s typical).

Rolling deploys: Unlike Workers (instant), container deployments roll out gradually. Old versions continue running during rollout.

Ephemeral disk: Container disk is ephemeral and resets on each stop. Use Durable Object storage (this.ctx.storage) for persistence.

wrangler.toml Format

name = "my-worker"
main = "src/index.ts"
compatibility_date = "2026-01-10"

[[containers]]
class_name = "MyContainer"
image = "./Dockerfile"
instance_type = "standard-2"
max_instances = 10

[[durable_objects.bindings]]
name = "MY_CONTAINER"
class_name = "MyContainer"

[[migrations]]
tag = "v1"
new_sqlite_classes = ["MyContainer"]

Both wrangler.jsonc and wrangler.toml are supported. Use wrangler.jsonc for comments and better IDE support.
