01 / DECISION

When this primitive earns a place

Use the OS view as an architecture map for choosing the smallest justified service set, not as a claim that every product belongs in one runtime.

02 / ARCHITECTURE

Build the smallest defensible path

A Worker accepts five bounded mission types; Durable Objects coordinate quota; D1, KV, R2, Queues, Workflows, Workers AI, Browser Run, Vectorize, and Analytics supply explicit roles and evidence.

  1. 01Name the contract

    Use the OS view as an architecture map for choosing the smallest justified service set, not as a claim that every product belongs in one runtime.

  2. 02Add one primitive

    A Worker accepts five bounded mission types; Durable Objects coordinate quota; D1, KV, R2, Queues, Workflows, Workers AI, Browser Run, Vectorize, and Analytics supply explicit roles and evidence.

  3. 03Capture failure evidence

    The live catalog reports 123 unique products and five coverage states; every service page links current docs, project role, Community search, and a safe question draft.

03 / REPRODUCE

Evidence before confidence

The live catalog reports 123 unique products and five coverage states; every service page links current docs, project role, Community search, and a safe question draft.

04 / BOUNDARY

The production boundary

Cloudflare OS is an independent Cloudflare World composition, not an official Cloudflare operating system. Community is a participation layer, not product number 124.

05 / FIRST-PARTY SOURCES

Keep first-party sources authoritative

Product behavior, limits, pricing, and availability can change. Re-check these sources before acting.
