A Cloudflare Workers implementation of the Waline comment system. Serverless and free to deploy.
What Is It
Waline On Worker is a backend implementation that fully ports the open-source comment system Waline to the Cloudflare Workers platform, using D1 (SQLite) for data storage.
Compared with the official Vercel deployment, it:
- Requires no standalone server and runs on Cloudflare's edge network
- Offers a generous free tier, which suits personal blogs
- Is fully compatible with the
@waline/clientfrontend and the@waline/adminadmin panel
