Wrangler is the CLI tool for developing, testing, and deploying Cloudflare Workers. Local development with Miniflare, D1, R2, and KV emulation.
Reviewer scorecard
“CI pipelines in TypeScript instead of YAML. Local execution means you can debug pipelines on your machine.”
“The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.”
“The YAML-to-code migration for CI is overdue. Dagger's approach of real programming languages is correct.”
“Local emulation of D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects means you develop at full speed without deploys.”
“CI/CD in real programming languages will replace YAML. Dagger is leading this inevitable transition.”
“Local-first development tools for edge platforms will become the standard. Wrangler leads this pattern.”
