Yes, Cloudflare Workers are designed for horizontal scalability. By using Durable Objects to manage connection state, you can distribute the load across multiple Worker instances. Cloudflare automatically handles routing requests to available Workers. However, ensure your Durable Object implementation is optimized for concurrency to avoid bottlenecks. Consider using sharding if you anticipate a very large number of connections.
