OpenAI Codex generates Cloudflare Workers directly from the dashboard as Andrew Mayne migrates a WordPress site from $270 monthly hosting to $0.70 on Cloudflare infrastructure
Jason Liu on the Codex team documented the workflow.
Many users are amazed by Codex autonomously building full websites and Cloudflare infrastructure because it enables rapid setup, major cost savings, and feels like the future arriving now.

Codex is currently making me a whole website using cloudflare on safari and computer use.
I’m watching it set up a d1 and running create table commands. Add binding and insert js in the worker pane.
@jxnlco I used Codex to move a $270 a month LiquidWeb Wordpress site to Cloudflare for $0.70 a month.

@jxnlco this is the funny phase shift with coding agents
one minute it’s “write this component” and the next it’s quietly becoming a tiny ops person poking at databases, bindings, deploy panels, and browser tabs while you sit there hoping it remembers what environment it’s in 😭
@jxnlco yeah, cloudflare is very underrated for deploying an entire saas
@jxnlco buying domains is like the #1 agent buying use case imo.
Letting codex buy a domain configure dns to cloudflare then setting up pages is damn near magic.
@jxnlco Friday in New York btw
@jxnlco watching an AI spin up the whole infra for you in real time is still kind of mind blowing even after you get used to it
@jxnlco Codex has been insanely good lately. After running the same tests on Claude Code and Codex, I’ve found myself using Codex way more often.
@jxnlco Hey Jason, I am facing some codex related issues in chatgpt Android. Could I ping you a dm?
@jxnlco try not to cry if you do a security pass over it by hand lol. just make sure you tell the clanker to properly audit and harden everything.
@jxnlco we speedran from “AI autocomplete” to “watching it touch production infra”
@jxnlco Wild. the future is here, NOW
@jxnlco Future is wild.
@jxnlco How to enable computer use for codex in windows? For me computer use is not working as expected.
@jxnlco tbh, watching Codex wire up D1 and worker bindings sounds like a movie.
did it get everything right the first time?
@jxnlco Now it just needs better front-end design and the model is complete (kinda)
@jxnlco Cloud have used the CLI and saved billions tokens 😂
@jxnlco sick. just had Codex in chrome in my cloudflare last week, setting up a few needed DNS and worker things. no issues at all. better than no issues-all done already.
@jxnlco same
@jxnlco why not use the Wrangler CLI? And curl the api for DNS stuff? but yea I love cloudflare too if that's your point 🙃
