13. Use case: Using Workers to filter JSON requests at the edge to
reduce the number of bad requests that their origin servers
handle
Problem: Primary concerns around lowering costs of
infrastructure needed to process requests and serve reports to
their users
Benefit: Workers has enabled them to lower traffic requests to
their origin servers by almost 50%, lowering their overall
operating costs.
Report URI is a real-time monitoring
platform for cutting edge web
