A Worker bound to a R2 bucket and serving objects from it:
```typescript
const Bucket = Cloudflare.R2.Bucket("bucket");
export default Cloudflare.Worker(
"api",
{ main: import.meta.url },
Effect.gen(function* () {
const bucket = yield* Cloudflare.R2.ReadWriteBucket(Bucket);
return {
fetch: Effect.gen(function* () {
const request = yield* HttpServerRequest;
const object = yield* bucket.get(request.url);
return HttpServerResponse.stream(object!.body);
})
};
}).pipe(Effect.provide(Cloudflare.R2.ReadWriteBucketBinding)),
);
```
One `ReadWriteBucket(Bucket)` call wires the binding, env var, and typed client — at deploy time and at runtime.
---
- **One program, one language.** Resources, Lambdas/Workers, IAM, and SDKs live in the same Effect program — no YAML, no second runtime.
- **Bindings, not glue code.** `S3.GetObject(bucket)` wires the IAM policy, env var, and a typed SDK call in a single line.
- **Errors in the type system.** Every cloud API failure is a tagged Effect error you handle — or don't — on purpose.
- **AWS + Cloudflare today.** S3, SQS, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Lambda, EC2 / Workers, R2, D1, Durable Objects, Containers.
- **Same code, every stage.** Local dev, `plan` / `deploy`, smoke tests, and CI all share one mental model.
```sh
bun add alchemy@latest effect@rc
```
## GitHub Action
Use the root action to deploy `prod` from `main`, deploy PR previews as
`staging-{number}`, and destroy PR previews when the PR closes:
```yaml
- uses: alchemy-run/alchemy@v1
env:
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID: ${{ vars.CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID }}
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN }}
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```
The workflow must install the `alchemy` CLI before this action runs.
## Bootstrap with an AI coding agent
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent that can fetch a URL:
```
You are an Alchemy expert. Read https://alchemy.run/llms.txt to load the
full documentation index, then act as my pair on this project.
Goal: help me set up, build, test, and deploy a cloud application with
`alchemy` (Infrastructure-as-Effects, powered by Effect).
Follow the patterns from the docs and the /examples folder. Stay idiomatic
to Effect: use Layers for wiring, return Effects from lifecycle code, and
keep infra and runtime in the same program. Ask before introducing new
dependencies or breaking conventions.
```
