Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.

80/100 · ship

The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.

Skeptic

Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.

80/100 · ship

Local emulation of D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects means you develop at full speed without deploys.

Interesting concept but the execution isn't there yet. Give it 6 months.

Local-first development tools for edge platforms will become the standard. Wrangler leads this pattern.
