AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The Cloudflare Deploy skill serves as a centralized hub for developers working within the Cloudflare ecosystem. It provides structured decision trees to help users select the appropriate Cloudflare product—ranging from compute and storage to AI and security—and offers guidance on authentication, deployment, and troubleshooting. The skill includes specific references for building stateful, distributed AI agents using the Cloudflare Agents SDK, covering lifecycle hooks, state management, and SQL integration.

What it does

  • Provides decision trees to select the right Cloudflare product for compute, storage, AI, or networking needs.
  • Offers guidance on authentication using Wrangler for local and CI/CD environments.
  • Includes detailed documentation for building stateful AI agents with the Cloudflare Agents SDK.
  • Supports infrastructure-as-code integration via Pulumi and Terraform.
  • Provides troubleshooting steps for network-related deployment failures.
  • Maps specific use cases to relevant product references and technical documentation.

When to use it

  • When you need to deploy, host, or publish a project on Cloudflare.
  • When you are unsure which Cloudflare product best fits your compute, storage, or AI requirements.
  • When building stateful AI agents that require persistent memory and real-time connections.
  • When you need to configure security, networking, or media optimization services on Cloudflare.
  • When troubleshooting deployment timeouts or network connectivity issues.

Advantages

  • Consolidates fragmented documentation into a single, navigable resource.
  • Simplifies product selection through clear, logic-based decision trees.
  • Provides ready-to-use code patterns for complex tasks like AI agent development.
  • Addresses common operational hurdles like authentication and network sandboxing.

Usage examples

“I need to deploy a full-stack web application to Cloudflare. Which product should I use?”
The agent will guide you to use Cloudflare Pages for Git-based deployments and provide the necessary steps to get started.
“How do I build a stateful AI chat agent on Cloudflare?”
The agent will provide the AIChatAgent class structure, explain how to manage message history, and show how to integrate with Workers AI.
“My deployment is failing with a network timeout. What should I do?”
The agent will recommend rerunning the deployment with escalated permissions using the sandbox_permissions=require_escalated flag.

Cloudflare Deploy

Consolidated skill for building on the Cloudflare platform. Use decision trees below to find the right product, then load detailed references.

Prerequisites

  • When sandboxing blocks the deployment network calls, rerun with sandbox_permissions=require_escalated.

  • The deployment might take a few minutes. Use appropriate timeout values.

Authentication (Required Before Deploy)

Verify auth before wrangler deploy, wrangler pages deploy, or npm run deploy:

npx wrangler whoami    # Shows account if authenticated

Not authenticated? → references/wrangler/auth.md

  • Interactive/local: wrangler login (one-time OAuth)

  • CI/CD: Set CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN env var

Troubleshooting

Escalated Network Access

If deployment fails due to network issues (timeouts, DNS errors, connection resets), rerun the deploy with escalated permissions (use sandbox_permissions=require_escalated). The deploy requires escalated network access when sandbox networking blocks outbound requests.

Example guidance to the user:

The deploy needs escalated network access to deploy to Cloudflare. I can rerun the command with escalated permissions—want me to proceed?

Smart Placement Patterns

Backend Worker with Database Access

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const user = await env.DATABASE.prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?').bind(userId).first();
    const orders = await env.DATABASE.prepare('SELECT * FROM orders WHERE user_id = ?').bind(userId).all();
    return Response.json({ user, orders });
  }
};
{ "placement": { "mode": "smart" }, "d1_databases": [{ "binding": "DATABASE", "database_id": "xxx" }] }

Frontend + Backend Split (Service Bindings)

Frontend: Runs at edge for fast user response Backend: Smart Placement runs close to database

// Frontend Worker - routes requests to backend
interface Env {
  BACKEND: Fetcher;  // Service Binding to backend Worker
}

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    if (new URL(request.url).pathname.startsWith('/api/')) {
      return env.BACKEND.fetch(request);  // Forward to backend
    }
    return new Response('Frontend content');
  }
};

// Backend Worker - database operations
interface BackendEnv {
  DATABASE: D1Database;
}

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: BackendEnv): Promise<Response> {
    const data = await env.DATABASE.prepare('SELECT * FROM table').all();
    return Response.json(data);
  }
};

CRITICAL: Use fetch-based Service Bindings (shown above). If using RPC with WorkerEntrypoint, Smart Placement will NOT optimize those method calls - only fetch handlers are affected.

RPC vs Fetch - CRITICAL: Smart Placement ONLY works with fetch-based bindings, NOT RPC.

// ❌ RPC - Smart Placement has NO EFFECT on backend RPC methods
export class BackendRPC extends WorkerEntrypoint {
  async getData() {
    // ALWAYS runs at edge, Smart Placement ignored
    return await this.env.DATABASE.prepare('SELECT * FROM table').all();
  }
}

// ✅ Fetch - Smart Placement WORKS
export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    // Runs close to DATABASE when Smart Placement enabled
    const data = await env.DATABASE.prepare('SELECT * FROM table').all();
    return Response.json(data);
  }
};

External API Integration

export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const apiUrl = 'https://api.partner.com';
    const headers = { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${env.API_KEY}` };
    
    const [profile, transactions] = await Promise.all([
      fetch(`${apiUrl}/profile`, { headers }),
      fetch(`${apiUrl}/transactions`, { headers })
    ]);
    
    return Response.json({ 
      profile: await profile.json(), 
      transactions: await transactions.json()
    });
  }
};

SSR / API Gateway Pattern

// Frontend (edge) - auth/routing close to user
export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env) {
    if (!request.headers.get('Authorization')) {
      return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
    }
    const data = await env.BACKEND.fetch(request);
    return new Response(renderPage(await data.json()), { 
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/html' } 
    });
  }
};

// Backend (Smart Placement) - DB operations close to data
export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env) {
    const data = await env.DATABASE.prepare('SELECT * FROM pages WHERE id = ?').bind(pageId).first();
    return Response.json(data);
  }
};

Durable Objects with Smart Placement

Key principle: Smart Placement does NOT control WHERE Durable Objects run. DOs always run in their designated region (based on jurisdiction or smart location hints).

What Smart Placement DOES affect: The location of the coordinator Worker's fetch handler that makes calls to multiple DOs.

Pattern: Enable Smart Placement on coordinator Worker that aggregates data from multiple DOs:

// Worker with Smart Placement - aggregates data from multiple DOs
export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    const userId = new URL(request.url).searchParams.get('user');
    
    // Get DO stubs
    const userDO = env.USER_DO.get(env.USER_DO.idFromName(userId));
    const analyticsID = env.ANALYTICS_DO.idFromName(`analytics-${userId}`);
    const analyticsDO = env.ANALYTICS_DO.get(analyticsID);
    
    // Fetch from multiple DOs
    const [userData, analyticsData] = await Promise.all([
      userDO.fetch(new Request('https://do/profile')),
      analyticsDO.fetch(new Request('https://do/stats'))
    ]);
    
    return Response.json({
      user: await userData.json(),
      analytics: await analyticsData.json()
    });
  }
};
// wrangler.jsonc
{
  "placement": { "mode": "smart" },
  "durable_objects": {
    "bindings": [
      { "name": "USER_DO", "class_name": "UserDO" },
      { "name": "ANALYTICS_DO", "class_name": "AnalyticsDO" }
    ]
  }
}

When this helps:

  • Worker's fetch handler runs closer to DO regions, reducing network latency for multiple DO calls

  • Most beneficial when DOs are geographically concentrated or in specific jurisdictions

  • Helps when coordinator makes many sequential or parallel DO calls

When this DOESN'T help:

  • DOs are globally distributed (no single optimal Worker location)

  • Worker only calls a single DO

  • DO calls are infrequent or cached

Best Practices

  • Split full-stack apps: frontend at edge, backend with Smart Placement

  • Use fetch-based Service Bindings (not RPC)

  • Enable for backend logic: APIs, data aggregation, DB operations

  • Don't enable for: static content, edge logic, RPC methods, Pages with run_worker_first

  • Wait 15+ min for analysis, verify placement_status = SUCCESS
