Workers Builds Now Posts Preview URLs in Seconds

Hi everyone, it's Shii-chan!

Cloudflare Changelog developers.cloudflare.com

The "is it ready yet?" wait after opening a pull request just got shorter!

What was announced?

The Cloudflare Changelog says Workers Builds now consistently posts preview URLs to GitHub pull requests and GitLab merge requests within a few seconds of a build completing.

The story so far

Previously, posting preview URLs could often take minutes. The build was done, but you still waited for the URL.

What changes

As soon as the build finishes, the preview URL shows up in the PR or MR comment, so you can start testing and reviewing sooner.

  • Posting goes from minutes to seconds
  • Works for GitHub pull requests and GitLab merge requests

Dive Deep

The announcement doesn't describe what changed internally or whether any setup is needed. See the Workers Builds GitHub and GitLab integration docs for details.

Wrap-up

  • Preview URLs are posted within seconds of build completion
  • It could take minutes before
  • Both GitHub and GitLab are covered
