There's a whole bunch of use cases people have today that don't require a database. Here's a few that I'm excited about:

  - image, video, audio processing near consumers
  - game or video chat servers running near the centroid of  people in a session
  - server side rendering of single page js apps
  - route users to regional data centers for compliance
  - graphql stitching / caching (we do this!)
  - pass through cache for s3, or just minio as a global s3 (we do this!)
  - buildkite / GitHub Action agents (we do this!)
  - tensorflow prediction / DDoS & bot detection
  - load balance between spot instances on AWS/GCP
  - TLS termination for custom domains
  - authentication proxy / api gateway (we do this!)
  - IoT stream processing near devices

CloudFlare Workers is a fantastic serverless function runtime, but we're a layer lower than that. You can actually build it on top of fly.
