How can I force an cloudflare worker to execute within multiple Colo's?

We can't use Cloudflare because there's no way to execute in a specific region, if you know how to do it let me know

There is nothing that Cloudflare offers that would let you do that - you would have to just request the Worker from different regions.

At which point, you already have the ability to make requests from those regions anyways.

I bet you could make something work with DOs with region hints, but it's not going to be per-colo precise.

Solved it after more searching. Thanks for the faster than light feedback.

Very curious how you solved it, if you can share with us

I would note too that while this may work now, I wouldn't recommend building a solution that needs to work on top of this, as it might break at any time

Ok, thanks.
