Pages: make the deploy loop boring

Connect a static or full-stack project to a repeatable build, preview, and production path — on Workers for new projects, on Pages for the ones you already run.

Pages: make the deploy loop boring

A good deployment path gives every change a place to be inspected. Cloudflare now tells new projects to start with Workers, where Worker Previews give each branch its own production-like environment; Pages remains the path for projects already running on it. Treat build output, environment variables, preview URLs, and rollback behavior as part of the product.

  • Start new projects on Workers and keep `wrangler pages deploy` for existing Pages projects.
  • Make the build command deterministic and documented.
  • Declare each Preview explicitly — it does not inherit production settings, and KV, D1, and R2 are isolated only when bound to separate resources.
