What happened
Cloudflare launched Worker Previews, giving each Git branch its own production-like isolated environment with separate code, config, URL, observability, and state via `npx wrangler preview`. Previews get their own Durable Objects, Containers, variables, secrets, and bindings, can be served on custom domains for OAuth/CORS parity, and are positioned as enabling an 'Agent Development Lifecycle' where AI agents can deploy, test, catch failures, and self-correct before merging to production.
Why it matters
If you're shipping Cloudflare Workers with AI agents generating code, this lets you give each branch a real, isolated test environment with its own state and config instead of relying on staging that drifts from production. The custom-domain support for Preview URLs is the detail worth acting on: it means OAuth redirects and CORS will actually work in preview, removing a common reason preview environments fail to catch production bugs.
Discussion angle
Does per-branch isolated state (Durable Objects, Containers) actually change how you'd let agents iterate autonomously, or is the real bottleneck still observability and knowing what to test — not having a place to test it?
