Wrangler is the CLI tool for developing, testing, and deploying Cloudflare Workers. Local development with Miniflare, D1, R2, and KV emulation.
Reviewer scorecard
“Too expensive for what it offers. Plenty of open-source alternatives.”
“The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.”
“Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.”
“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.”
