ตรวจสอบและเขียนโค้ด Cloudflare Workers ตามแนวทางปฏิบัติที่ดีที่สุดสำหรับโปรดักชัน ใช้เมื่อเขียน Workers ใหม่ ตรวจสอบโค้ด Worker กำหนดค่า wrangler.jsonc หรือตรวจสอบรูปแบบที่ไม่เหมาะสมของ Workers ทั่วไป (การสตรีม, floating promises, global state, secrets, bindings, observability) เน้นการดึงข้อมูลจากเอกสารของ Cloudflare มากกว่าความรู้ที่ฝึกไว้ล่วงหน้า

Your knowledge of Cloudflare Workers APIs, types, and configuration may be outdated. Prefer retrieval over pre-training when writing or reviewing Workers code.

Use the project's installed versions, generated types, and Wrangler compatibility settings as the baseline for existing code. Retrieve relevant Cloudflare documentation to verify API, configuration, runtime behavior, and limit claims.

References

Read the sections relevant to the task:

Reference	When to use it
Configuration and observability	Compatibility dates, bindings, generated types, secrets, logs, and traces
Runtime patterns	Streaming, promise lifetime, request state, service calls, security, and runtime tests
Platform API checks	Handler signatures, platform classes, binding access, and serialization

For missing evidence, consult Workers best practices or find the affected product in the Cloudflare docs directory. Use the installed Wrangler schema for config fields. A newer type package does not supersede the project's configured target.

Keep Compatibility Dates Current

Use today's date for new Workers. Encourage periodic updates for existing Workers, reviewing compatibility changes and running relevant tests. Assess existing behavior against its configured date and flags; see compatibility guidance.

Enable Observability

Enable Workers Logs and Traces when creating or preparing a Worker for production. Set observability.enabled and observability.traces.enabled to true; the top-level setting alone does not enable traces. Use structured JSON logging and configure sampling for the workload. During reviews, flag missing logs or traces. See the configuration example.

Anti-Patterns to Flag

Anti-pattern	Consequence and preferred pattern
`await response.text()` or similar buffering on unbounded data	Can exhaust Worker memory; stream large or unbounded bodies.
Hardcoded secrets in source or config	Leaks credentials through version control; use Wrangler secrets.
`Math.random()` for security-sensitive tokens or IDs	Predictable values; use `crypto.randomUUID()` or `crypto.getRandomValues()`.
Async work started without awaiting, returning, or attaching it to `ctx.waitUntil()`	Work can be dropped and errors missed; tie it to the request or background-work lifetime.
Module-level mutable request state	Leaks data across requests and can cause I/O ownership errors; pass request state explicitly.
Cloudflare REST API calls for operations available through Worker bindings	Adds network and authentication overhead; use the available binding.
`ctx.passThroughOnException()` used as general error handling	Can conceal Worker failures by forwarding to the origin; use explicit error handling and structured error responses.
Hand-written `Env` that duplicates Wrangler bindings	Can drift from configuration; generate binding types with `wrangler types`.
Direct string comparison of secret values	Can expose timing differences; use the Web Crypto comparison pattern.
Destructuring `ctx` methods, such as `const { waitUntil } = ctx`	Loses the receiver; call `ctx.waitUntil(...)`.
`any` on `Env` or handler parameters	Hides binding and handler contract errors; use the project's generated and platform types.
`as unknown as T` to force a platform type match	Hides incompatibilities; fix the underlying contract.
`implements` used in place of extending a platform base class	Does not inherit runtime behavior, `this.ctx`, or `this.env`; use the appropriate base class.
Unbound `env.X` in a platform class method	Bindings are available through `this.env.X`; see binding access patterns.
Applying one serialization rule across Queues, Workflow steps, storage, and WebSockets	Can reject valid payloads or accept unsupported ones; check the specific API and encoding.

Validation

Use the project's existing checks for affected Workers behavior: type-check binding or handler contract changes, and run relevant runtime tests for behavior changes. Preserve required repository checks; a narrow edit does not require a full Workers audit.
