You can deploy full-stack applications, including front-end static assets and back-end APIs, as well as on-demand rendered sites, to both Cloudflare Workers and Cloudflare Pages.

This guide includes:

:::note

Cloudflare recommends using Cloudflare Workers for new projects. For existing Pages projects, refer to Cloudflare's migration guide and compatibility matrix.

Prerequisites

To get started, you will need:

  • A Cloudflare account. If you don’t already have one, you can create a free Cloudflare account during the process.

Cloudflare Workers

How to deploy with Wrangler

<Steps> 1. Install [Wrangler CLI](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/get-started/).
```bash
npm install wrangler@latest --save-dev
```

2. If your site uses on-demand rendering, install the @astrojs/cloudflare adapter.

This will install the adapter and make the appropriate changes to your `astro.config.mjs` file in one step.

<PackageManagerTabs>
  <Fragment slot="npm">
  ```sh
  npx astro add cloudflare
  ```
  </Fragment>
  <Fragment slot="pnpm">
  ```sh
  pnpm astro add cloudflare
  ```
  </Fragment>
  <Fragment slot="yarn">
  ```sh
  yarn astro add cloudflare
  ```
  </Fragment>
</PackageManagerTabs>

3. Create a Wrangler configuration file.

Running `astro add cloudflare` will create this for you; if you are not using the adapter, you'll need to create it yourself.

<StaticSsrTabs>
  <Fragment slot="static">
    ```jsonc title="wrangler.jsonc"
    {
      "name": "my-astro-app",
      "compatibility_date": "YYYY-MM-DD", // Update to the day you deploy
      "assets": {
        "directory": "./dist",
      }
    }
    ```
  </Fragment>
  <Fragment slot="ssr">
    ```jsonc title="wrangler.jsonc"
    {
      "main": "dist/_worker.js/index.js",
      "name": "my-astro-app",
      "compatibility_date": "YYYY-MM-DD", // Update to the day you deploy
      "compatibility_flags": [
        "nodejs_compat",
        "global_fetch_strictly_public"
      ],
      "assets": {
        "binding": "ASSETS",
        "directory": "./dist"
      },
      "observability": {
        "enabled": true
      }
    }
```
  </Fragment>
</StaticSsrTabs>

4. Preview your project locally with Wrangler.

```bash
npx astro build && npx wrangler dev
```

5. Deploy using npx wrangler deploy.

```bash
npx astro build && npx wrangler deploy
```
</Steps>

After your assets are uploaded, Wrangler will give you a preview URL to inspect your site.

How to deploy with CI/CD

You can also use a CI/CD system such as Workers Builds (BETA) to automatically build and deploy your site on push.

If you're using Workers Builds:

<Steps> 1. Follow Steps 1-3 from the Wrangler section above.
  1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard and navigate to Workers & Pages. Select Create.

  2. Under Import a repository, select a Git account and then the repository containing your Astro project.

  3. Configure your project with:

    • Build command: npx astro build
    • Deploy command: npx wrangler deploy
  4. Click Save and Deploy. You can now preview your Worker at its provided workers.dev subdomain.

    </Steps>

Cloudflare Pages

How to deploy with Wrangler

<Steps> 1. Install [Wrangler CLI](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/get-started/).
  <PackageManagerTabs>
    <Fragment slot="npm">
    ```sh
    npm install wrangler@latest --save-dev
    ```
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment slot="pnpm">
    ```sh
    pnpm add wrangler@latest --save-dev
    ```
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment slot="yarn">
    ```sh
    yarn add wrangler@latest --dev
    ```
    </Fragment>
  </PackageManagerTabs>

2. If your site uses on-demand rendering, install the @astrojs/cloudflare adapter.

This will install the adapter and make the appropriate changes to your `astro.config.mjs` file in one step.

   <PackageManagerTabs>
    <Fragment slot="npm">
    ```sh
    npx astro add cloudflare
    ```
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment slot="pnpm">
    ```sh
    pnpm astro add cloudflare
    ```
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment slot="yarn">
    ```sh
    yarn astro add cloudflare
    ```
    </Fragment>
  </PackageManagerTabs>

3. Create a Wrangler configuration file.

Because Cloudflare recommends new projects use Workers instead of Pages, the `astro add cloudflare` command creates a `wrangler.jsonc` and `public/.assetsignore` file, which are specific to Workers projects. You will need to delete the `public/.assetsignore` file and change your `wrangler.jsonc` file. If you are not using the adapter you'll need to create it yourself.

Ensure your `wrangler.jsonc` file is structured like this:

<StaticSsrTabs>
  <Fragment slot="static">
  ```jsonc title="wrangler.jsonc"
  {
    "name": "my-astro-app",
    "compatibility_date": "YYYY-MM-DD", // Update to the day you deploy
    "pages_build_output_dir": "./dist"
  }
  ```
  </Fragment>
  <Fragment slot="ssr">
    ```jsonc title="wrangler.jsonc"
    {
      "name": "my-astro-app",
      "compatibility_date": "YYYY-MM-DD", // Update to the day you deploy
      "compatibility_flags": [
        "nodejs_compat",
        "disable_nodejs_process_v2"
      ],
      "pages_build_output_dir": "./dist"
    }
    ```
  </Fragment>
</StaticSsrTabs>

3. Preview your project locally with Wrangler.

  <PackageManagerTabs>
    <Fragment slot="npm">
    ```sh
    npx astro build && wrangler pages dev ./dist
    ```
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment slot="pnpm">
    ```sh
    pnpm astro build && wrangler pages dev ./dist
    ```
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment slot="yarn">
    ```sh
    yarn astro build && wrangler pages dev ./dist
    ```
    </Fragment>
  </PackageManagerTabs>

4. Deploy using npx wrangler deploy.

  <PackageManagerTabs>
    <Fragment slot="npm">
    ```sh
    npx astro build && wrangler pages deploy ./dist
    ```
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment slot="pnpm">
    ```sh
    pnpm astro build && wrangler pages deploy ./dist
    ```
    </Fragment>
    <Fragment slot="yarn">
    ```sh
    yarn astro build && wrangler pages deploy ./dist
    ```
    </Fragment>
  </PackageManagerTabs>
</Steps>

After your assets are uploaded, Wrangler will give you a preview URL to inspect your site.

How to deploy a site with CI/CD

<Steps> 1. Push your code to your git repository (e.g. GitHub, GitLab).
  1. Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard and navigate to Compute (Workers) > Workers & Pages. Select Create and then select the Pages tab. Connect your git repository.

  2. Configure your project with:

    • Framework preset: Astro
    • Build command: npm run build
    • Build output directory: dist
  3. Click the Save and Deploy button.

    </Steps>

Troubleshooting

404 behavior

For Workers projects, you will need to set not_found_handling if you want to serve a custom 404 page. You can read more about this in the Routing behavior section of Cloudflare's documentation.

jsonc
{
  "assets": {
    "directory": "./dist",
    "not_found_handling": "404-page"
  }
}

For Pages projects, if you include a custom 404 page, it will be served by default. Otherwise, Pages will default to Cloudflare's single-page application rendering behavior and redirect to the home page instead of showing a 404 page.

Client-side hydration

Client-side hydration may fail as a result of Cloudflare's Auto Minify setting. If you see Hydration completed but contains mismatches in the console, make sure to disable Auto Minify under Cloudflare settings.

Node.js runtime APIs

If you are building a project that is using on-demand rendering with the Cloudflare adapter and the server fails to build with an error message such as [Error] Could not resolve "XXXX. The package "XXXX" wasn't found on the file system but is built into node.:

  • This means that a package or import you are using in the server-side environment is not compatible with the Cloudflare runtime APIs.

  • If you are directly importing a Node.js runtime API, please refer to the Astro documentation on Cloudflare's Node.js compatibility for further steps on how to resolve this.

  • If you are importing a package that imports a Node.js runtime API, check with the author of the package to see if they support the node:* import syntax. If they do not, you may need to find an alternative package.
