About the project
A JavaScript/Wasm server runtime based on Cloudflare Workers, letting you self-host, test, or proxy requests with Workers-style code. Aimed at developers deploying edge-style services outside the Cloudflare network.
Useful for
- Self-host a compatibility-dated Worker service on your own infrastructure
- Run workerd locally to develop and test Workers code before deploying
- Configure it as a reverse proxy that intercepts and routes HTTP requests

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
