With yesterday's release, tags are now present in aggregated query data, which enables powerful new capabilities. It's now possible to view the complete distribution of tags assigned to a query pattern, search queries by tag, and see a

What changed Cache Rules previously only operated on request attributes. Cache Respon

Dynamic Workers are now in open beta for all paid Workers users.

Dynamic Workers start in milliseconds, making them well suited for fast, secure code execution at scale. Use Dynamic Workers for Code Mode: LLMs are trained to write code.
