Cloudflare Workers & Containers Add Inbound TCP and gRPC Support
ritakozlov · x · 2026-08-03
As part of Agents Week, Cloudflare announced support for inbound TCP connections and gRPC applications across Workers and Containers.
Key updates include:
- connect(socket) handler: Allows your Worker to directly accept an inbound TCP socket provided by Spectrum.
- Full-duplex gRPC: Enables forwarding the socket from your Worker to a gRPC server running inside a container.
- gRPC-web compatibility: Workers can now serve unary and server-streaming gRPC APIs, automatically converting incoming and outgoing requests.
Currently in private beta, these features aim to better support the low-latency infrastructure required by real-time AI assistants and voice interfaces.
