Cloudflare Workers Tech Talks in Osaka #2
Cloudflare Workers Tech Talks in Osaka #2
On March 7, I held “Cloudflare Workers Tech Talks #2” in Osaka!
What is Cloudflare Workers Tech Talks?
Cloudflare Workers Tech Talks is a community event focused on Cloudflare Workers. It’s not a typical meetup that explains basic things like “What is Cloudflare Workers?” Instead, speakers freely choose topics they personally find interesting. These topics are usually very technical, sometimes niche, and include deep code explanations. Some talks might feel challenging for certain attendees, but even if they don’t understand everything, they’ll still enjoy hearing about interesting technologies and ideas.
Past events:
- Cloudflare Workers Tech Talks Tokyo #1
- Cloudflare Workers Tech Talks Tokyo #2
- Cloudflare Workers Tech Talks Osaka #1
- Cloudflare Workers Tech Talks Tokyo #3
Venue
We were able to borrow a space thanks to the generosity of INFLU Inc.. Thank you so much!

We invited participants through the connpass website below:

We set a limit of 25 people and ended up with 22 attendees. Even though the event was announced shortly before the date, I appreciate everyone who came!
Timetable
Including myself, it had 6 speakers. Each talk was 15 minutes long, which made for a compact but rich event. Here’s the timetable:
Talks
Trying “Cline” for a Workers Monorepo
Talk by @codehex.
He explained how he successfully used Cline for managing backend services in a Workers monorepo, especially useful because he had to develop both backend and iOS app simultaneously.
Boost Your Web Performance with Hyperdrive
Talk by @chimame.
An explanation of improving web performance using Cloudflare Workers and Hyperdrive. Detailed comparisons showed how Hyperdrive significantly improved response times.
Gathering Streamers’ Video Information with Workers + Queues
Talk by @masanari7430.
Originally using Python on a Raspberry Pi, he transitioned to using Cloudflare Workers and Queues to collect video data from streamers efficiently.
Creating Websites with HonoX
Talk by me, @yusukebe.
I demonstrated creating websites easily with HonoX. I showed how HonoX lets you write HTML in JSX, and how to use Suspense to display a loading screen when fetching external data.
Full Stack Cloudflare Workers: Challenging but Awesome
Talk by @horai93.
He shared his experience building a full-stack app (frontend and backend) entirely on Cloudflare Workers using Hono and OpenNext. To make use of the CDN cache, he used the Hono app as a reverse proxy, and accessed the OpenNext system behind it using Service Bidings rather than HTTP.
Writing for Cloudflare’s Developer Documentation
Talk by @hidetaka_dev.
He explained his experience contributing to Cloudflare’s official developer documentation through the Developer Spotlight program. He emphasized the importance of proposing unique and interesting tutorial ideas.
