React on Cloudflare Workers with Hono
Set up a Cloudflare Worker with Hono and renderToReadableStream to serve React pages from the edge.
What Is Hono?
Hono is a lightweight, ultra-fast web framework designed to run on edge runtimes including Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Bun, and Node.js. Its API is inspired by Express but built from the ground up for the Web Standards (Fetch API, Request/Response), making it a natural fit for edge environments.
Creating a Cloudflare Worker with Hono
Scaffolding a new Hono project for Cloudflare Workers is straightforward: npm create hono@latest prompts you to choose a template, select "cloudflare-workers", and creates a project pre-configured with wrangler (Cloudflare's CLI) and the Hono dependency.
