Recently I had the opportunity to build a small application that needed to authenticate and authorize a user using Google’s sign-in mechanism, and requests on their behalf data from a Google API.
I choose to implement this as a Cloudflare Worker as a serverless compute service leveraging Cloudflare key-value storage (KV) for session storage. The tooling from Cloudflare (wrangler) has evolved nicely since my first attempt at Cloudflare Workers, so I thought it was high time that I gave it another try.
