I originally wrote Sorta Secret a year ago in Rust using actix-web and deployed it, like most services we write at FP Complete, to our Kubernetes cluster. When Rust 1.39 was released with async/await support, and then Hyper 0.13 was released using that support, I decided I wanted to try rewriting against Hyper. But that's a story for another time.
After that, more out of curiosity than anything else, I decided to rewrite it as a serverless application using Cloudflare Workers, a serverless platform that supports Rust and WASM.
This post will describe my experiences doing this, what I thought worked well (and not so well), and why you may consider doing something like this yourself.
