Goodbye Wrangler? Testing Alchemy, a TypeScript-Native IaC Framework
yihui_indie · x · 2026-08-03
While deploying the OpenSEO project, the author discovered it uses Alchemy, a TypeScript-native IaC framework, instead of Cloudflare's official Wrangler.
Compared to Wrangler, Alchemy offers:
- Unified management of multiple resources, dependencies, and deployment environments.
- Seamless Cloudflare permission operations via direct OAuth authorization.
However, its current drawbacks include a heavier abstraction layer, the need to manage deployment states, and a less mature ecosystem compared to the official tool, as v2 is still in Beta.
