EmDash Cloudflare Demo

This demo shows EmDash running on Cloudflare Workers with D1 database.

Uses Astro 6 + @astrojs/cloudflare v13 which runs the real workerd runtime in development.

Setup

1. Create a D1 database:

pnpm db:create

2. Copy the database ID from the output and update wrangler.jsonc:

"d1_databases": [
  {
    "binding": "DB",
    "database_name": "emdash-demo",
    "database_id": "YOUR_DATABASE_ID_HERE"
  }
]

3. Start the dev server:

pnpm dev

EmDash runs migrations automatically on first request — no manual migration step needed.

4. Open http://localhost:4321/\_emdash/admin

Preview

After building, you can preview with the real Workers runtime:

pnpm build
pnpm preview

Deployment

pnpm deploy

This builds and deploys to Cloudflare Workers. EmDash handles migrations automatically on startup.

Notes

• astro dev now uses workerd (the real Workers runtime) - development matches production
• wrangler types runs automatically before dev/build to generate TypeScript types for bindings
• No platformProxy config needed - Astro 6 handles this automatically

TODO

• R2 storage for media uploads
• Auth integration (Cloudflare Access or custom)
