Deploy Payload CMS to the Edge with Cloudflare Workers (Full Guide)

In this video, I'll show you how to deploy a full Payload project to Cloudflare using their official integration.

I build a simple blog with posts, categories, media, rich text, and blocks, and then deploy everything to Cloudflare’s edge using Workers, D1 (SQLite), and R2 object storage.

This is a full, real-world setup so you'll see exactly how everything fits together from local development to production.

Note: This setup requires a paid Cloudflare Workers plan due to bundle size limits.

🚀 What You’ll Learn:
How I create a Payload project configured for Cloudflare
How I set up collections (posts & categories)
How I use Cloudflare Workers, D1, and R2 together
How I render content with Next.js (built into Payload)
How I deploy using Wrangler and run migrations
Key limitations and production considerations
