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.

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?

Files

references/wrangler/configuration.md

Wrangler Configuration

Configuration reference for wrangler.jsonc (recommended).

Config Format

wrangler.jsonc recommended (v3.91.0+) - provides schema validation.

{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json",
  "name": "my-worker",
  "main": "src/index.ts",
  "compatibility_date": "2025-01-01",  // Use current date
  "vars": { "API_KEY": "dev-key" },
  "kv_namespaces": [{ "binding": "MY_KV", "id": "abc123" }]
}

Field Inheritance

Inheritable: name, main, compatibility_date, routes, triggers Non-inheritable (define per env): vars, bindings (KV, D1, R2, etc.)

Environments

{
  "name": "my-worker",
  "vars": { "ENV": "dev" },
  "env": {
    "production": {
      "name": "my-worker-prod",
      "vars": { "ENV": "prod" },
      "route": { "pattern": "example.com/*", "zone_name": "example.com" }
    }
  }
}

Deploy: wrangler deploy --env production

Routing

// Custom domain (recommended)
{ "routes": [{ "pattern": "api.example.com", "custom_domain": true }] }

// Zone-based
{ "routes": [{ "pattern": "api.example.com/*", "zone_name": "example.com" }] }

// workers.dev
{ "workers_dev": true }

Bindings

// Variables
{ "vars": { "API_URL": "https://api.example.com" } }

// KV
{ "kv_namespaces": [{ "binding": "CACHE", "id": "abc123" }] }

// D1
{ "d1_databases": [{ "binding": "DB", "database_id": "abc-123" }] }

// R2
{ "r2_buckets": [{ "binding": "ASSETS", "bucket_name": "my-assets" }] }

// Durable Objects
{ "durable_objects": { 
  "bindings": [{ 
    "name": "COUNTER", 
    "class_name": "Counter",
    "script_name": "my-worker"  // Required for external DOs
  }] 
} }
{ "migrations": [{ "tag": "v1", "new_sqlite_classes": ["Counter"] }] }

// Service Bindings
{ "services": [{ "binding": "AUTH", "service": "auth-worker" }] }

// Queues
{ "queues": {
  "producers": [{ "binding": "TASKS", "queue": "task-queue" }],
  "consumers": [{ "queue": "task-queue", "max_batch_size": 10 }]
} }

// Vectorize
{ "vectorize": [{ "binding": "VECTORS", "index_name": "embeddings" }] }

// Hyperdrive (requires nodejs_compat_v2 for pg/postgres)
{ "hyperdrive": [{ "binding": "HYPERDRIVE", "id": "hyper-id" }] }
{ "compatibility_flags": ["nodejs_compat_v2"] }  // For pg/postgres

// Workers AI
{ "ai": { "binding": "AI" } }

// Workflows
{ "workflows": [{ "binding": "WORKFLOW", "name": "my-workflow", "class_name": "MyWorkflow" }] }

// Secrets Store (centralized secrets)
{ "secrets_store": [{ "binding": "SECRETS", "id": "store-id" }] }

// Constellation (AI inference)
{ "constellation": [{ "binding": "MODEL", "project_id": "proj-id" }] }

Workers Assets (Static Files)

Recommended for serving static files (replaces old site config).

{
  "assets": {
    "directory": "./public",
    "binding": "ASSETS",
    "html_handling": "auto-trailing-slash",  // or "none", "force-trailing-slash"
    "not_found_handling": "single-page-application"  // or "404-page", "none"
  }
}

Access in Worker:

export default {
  async fetch(request, env) {
    // Try serving static asset first
    const asset = await env.ASSETS.fetch(request);
    if (asset.status !== 404) return asset;
    
    // Custom logic for non-assets
    return new Response("API response");
  }
}

Placement

Control where Workers run geographically.

{
  "placement": {
    "mode": "smart"  // or "off"
  }
}
  • "smart": Run Worker near data sources (D1, Durable Objects) to reduce latency

  • "off": Default distribution (run everywhere)

Auto-Provisioning (Beta)

Omit resource IDs - Wrangler creates them and writes back to config on deploy.

{ "kv_namespaces": [{ "binding": "MY_KV" }] }  // No id - auto-provisioned

After deploy, ID is added to config automatically.

Advanced

// Cron Triggers
{ "triggers": { "crons": ["0 0 * * *"] } }

// Observability (tracing)
{ "observability": { "enabled": true, "head_sampling_rate": 0.1 } }

// Runtime Limits
{ "limits": { "cpu_ms": 100 } }

// Browser Rendering
{ "browser": { "binding": "BROWSER" } }

// mTLS Certificates
{ "mtls_certificates": [{ "binding": "CERT", "certificate_id": "cert-uuid" }] }

// Logpush (stream logs to R2/S3)
{ "logpush": true }

// Tail Consumers (process logs with another Worker)
{ "tail_consumers": [{ "service": "log-worker" }] }

// Unsafe bindings (access to arbitrary bindings)
{ "unsafe": { "bindings": [{ "name": "MY_BINDING", "type": "plain_text", "text": "value" }] } }
