acoyfellow/zero-cloudflare-hello

This repository is a minimal, deployable example showing how to run a Zero programming language binary on Cloudflare's edge infrastructure. Zero is a programming language, from zerolang.ai, that compiles to native Linux executables. Cloudflare Containers is a service that can run those executables at the edge, meaning on servers distributed close to users around the world. The project demonstrates a chain: an incoming HTTP request hits a Cloudflare Worker, a small JavaScript function running at the edge, which forwards it to a Cloudflare Container, which runs the compiled Zero binary and returns its standard output as the HTTP response. The entire useful program is a few lines of Zero code that writes a greeting string to output. The compiled binary included in the repository is 261 bytes, a tiny Linux executable. Because the pre-built binary is committed to the repository, deploying it requires no Zero compiler installation. Cloudflare provides a one-click deploy button that forks the repository and sets up both the Worker and the Container automatically. The repository also includes a Dockerfile defining the container image, a small HTTP adapter script that bridges the container to the Worker, and a wrangler configuration file, the standard Cloudflare deployment config format, that ties it all together. You would use this as a starting point if you are exploring the Zero language and want to see it running on real infrastructure, or if you are evaluating Cloudflare Containers as a deployment target for compiled executables. The primary files are HTML and TypeScript, and the project is released under the MIT license.
