— 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?

Multi-Tenant Patterns

Billing by Plan

interface Env {
  DISPATCHER: DispatchNamespace;
  CUSTOMERS_KV: KVNamespace;
}

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const userWorkerName = new URL(request.url).hostname.split(".")[0];
    const customerPlan = await env.CUSTOMERS_KV.get(userWorkerName);
    
    const plans = {
      enterprise: { cpuMs: 50, subRequests: 50 },
      pro: { cpuMs: 20, subRequests: 20 },
      free: { cpuMs: 10, subRequests: 5 },
    };
    const limits = plans[customerPlan as keyof typeof plans] || plans.free;
    
    const userWorker = env.DISPATCHER.get(userWorkerName, {}, { limits });
    return await userWorker.fetch(request);
  },
};

Resource Isolation

Complete isolation: Create unique resources per customer

  • KV namespace per customer

  • D1 database per customer

  • R2 bucket per customer

const bindings = [{
  type: "kv_namespace",
  name: "USER_KV",
  namespace_id: `customer-${customerId}-kv`
}];

Hostname Routing

Wildcard Route (Recommended)

Configure */* route on SaaS domain → dispatch Worker

Benefits:

  • Supports subdomains + custom vanity domains

  • No per-route limits (regular Workers limited to 100 routes)

  • Programmatic control

  • Works with any DNS proxy settings

Setup:

  1. Cloudflare for SaaS custom hostnames

  2. Fallback origin (dummy A 192.0.2.0 if Worker is origin)

  3. DNS CNAME to SaaS domain

  4. */* route → dispatch Worker

  5. Routing logic in dispatch Worker

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const hostname = new URL(request.url).hostname;
    const hostnameData = await env.ROUTING_KV.get(`hostname:${hostname}`, { type: "json" });
    
    if (!hostnameData?.workerName) {
      return new Response("Hostname not configured", { status: 404 });
    }
    
    const userWorker = env.DISPATCHER.get(hostnameData.workerName);
    return await userWorker.fetch(request);
  },
};
Subdomain-Only

  1. Wildcard DNS: *.saas.com → origin

  2. Route: *.saas.com/* → dispatch Worker

  3. Extract subdomain for routing

Orange-to-Orange (O2O) Behavior

When customers use Cloudflare and CNAME to your Workers domain:

ScenarioBehaviorRoute Pattern
Customer not on CloudflareStandard routing*/* or *.domain.com/*
Customer on Cloudflare (proxied CNAME)Invokes Worker at edge*/* required
Customer on Cloudflare (DNS-only CNAME)Standard routingAny route works

Recommendation: Always use */* wildcard for consistent O2O behavior.

Custom Metadata Routing

For Cloudflare for SaaS: Store worker name in custom hostname custom_metadata, retrieve in dispatch worker to route requests. Requires custom hostnames as subdomains of your domain.

Observability

Logpush

  • Enable on dispatch Worker → captures all user Worker logs

  • Filter by Outcome or Script Name

Tail Workers

  • Real-time logs with custom formatting

  • Receives HTTP status, console.log(), exceptions, diagnostics

Analytics Engine
// Track violations
env.ANALYTICS.writeDataPoint({
  indexes: [customerName],
  blobs: ["cpu_limit_exceeded"],
});
GraphQL
query {
  viewer {
    accounts(filter: {accountTag: $accountId}) {
      workersInvocationsAdaptive(filter: {dispatchNamespaceName: "production"}) {
        sum { requests errors cpuTime }
      }
    }
  }
}

Use Case Implementations

AI Code Execution
async function deployGeneratedCode(name: string, code: string) {
  const file = new File([code], `${name}.mjs`, { type: "application/javascript+module" });
  await client.workersForPlatforms.dispatch.namespaces.scripts.update("production", name, {
    account_id: accountId,
    metadata: { main_module: `${name}.mjs`, tags: [name, "ai-generated"] },
    files: [file],
  });
}

// Short limits for untrusted code
const userWorker = env.DISPATCHER.get(sessionId, {}, { limits: { cpuMs: 5, subRequests: 3 } });

VibeSDK: For AI-powered code generation + deployment platforms, see VibeSDK - handles AI generation, sandbox execution, live preview, and deployment.

Reference: AI Vibe Coding Platform Architecture

Edge Functions Platform
// Route: /customer-id/function-name
const [customerId, functionName] = new URL(request.url).pathname.split("/").filter(Boolean);
const workerName = `${customerId}-${functionName}`;
const userWorker = env.DISPATCHER.get(workerName);
Website Builder

  • Deploy static assets + Worker code

  • See api.md for full implementation

  • Salt hashes for asset isolation

Best Practices

Architecture

  • One namespace per environment (production, staging)

  • Platform logic in dispatch Worker (auth, rate limiting, validation)

  • Isolation automatic (no shared cache, untrusted mode)

Routing

  • Use */* wildcard routes

  • Store mappings in KV

  • Handle missing Workers gracefully

Limits & Security

  • Set custom limits by plan

  • Track violations with Analytics Engine

  • Use outbound Workers for egress control

  • Sanitize responses

Tags

  • Tag all Workers: customer ID, plan, environment

  • Enable bulk operations

  • Filter efficiently
