Why This Matters

This isn't just a game. It's a demonstration of edge computing that shows how modern applications can be deployed globally with zero infrastructure.

🌍 Global Performance

This Snake game runs on Cloudflare Workers — the same platform Discord uses to handle 15 million requests per second.

Traditional Setup: Game logic runs on a single server in one location. Users far away experience 200-500ms latency.

Workers Setup: Game code executes from the nearest of 300+ cities worldwide. Every user gets sub-5ms response time.

💡 The Customer Pitch

Now imagine this isn't a game. Imagine it's:

Authentication logic protecting your application
API routing directing requests to the right backend
Fraud detection stopping attacks before they reach your servers
Personalization customizing content for each user

🚀 Zero Infrastructure

No servers. No containers. No Kubernetes clusters to manage. Just code that runs at the edge, scales automatically, and costs $0 for the first 100,000 requests per day.

Cost comparison:
AWS Lambda + CloudFront: $50-200/month for similar traffic
Cloudflare Workers: $0 (free tier) or $5/month (10M requests)

🎯 Real-World Use Case

Discord migrated their authentication and bot detection to Workers and now handles billions of requests per day with 99.99% uptime and sub-10ms latency globally.
