> Node.js. New versions of Miniflare can be found in the
> [`workers-sdk`](https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/tree/main/packages/miniflare)
> repository, and use the
> [open-sourced](https://blog.cloudflare.com/workerd-open-source-workers-runtime/)
> Workers runtime [`workerd`](https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd). This
> practically eliminates behaviour mismatches between development and production
> deployments. We recommend you
> [migrate to Miniflare 3](https://miniflare.dev/get-started/migrating) now if
> you can. Whilst Miniflare 3 supports most of Miniflare 2's features, one key
> omission is the unit testing environment. We're actively working on adding
> support for this to Miniflare 3. Once this is supported, we're planning to
> deprecate Miniflare 2 and archive this repository.

# ๐Ÿ”ฅ Miniflare 2

**Miniflare** is a simulator for developing and testing
[**Cloudflare Workers**](https://workers.cloudflare.com/).

- ๐ŸŽ‰ **Fun:** develop workers easily with detailed logging, file watching and
pretty error pages supporting source maps.
- ๐Ÿ”‹ **Full-featured:** supports most Workers features, including KV, Durable
Objects, WebSockets, modules and more.
- โšก **Fully-local:** test and develop Workers without an internet connection.
Reload code on change quickly.

It's an alternative to `wrangler dev`, written in TypeScript, that runs your
workers in a sandbox implementing Workers' runtime APIs.

**See for more detailed documentation.**

Durable Object's transactions are implemented using Optimistic Concurrency
Control (OCC) as described in
["On optimistic methods for concurrency control." ACM Transactions on Database Systems](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/319566.319567).
