I have been investigating APM for Workers over the last couple of days as [their solution is very build your own](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/writing-workers/debugging-tips/) at the moment.

I'm fairly new to the Elastic stack as well so I may have missed something but I thought my learnings might still be valuable for anyone reading this going forward.

Cloudflare Workers uses a modified version of Web Workers to run sandboxed javascript from what I can tell. They also mention using existing NodeJS packages using [NPM and Webpack](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/writing-workers/using-npm-modules/).

So my first throught was to bundle up the [NodeJS APM agent](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-nodejs), but that didn't work so well as we are missing core NodeJS libraries like [async hooks](https://nodejs.org/api/async_hooks.html), [js](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html) and [net](https://nodejs.org/api/net.html) etc.

Next I had a look at the [base JavaScript agent](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-js-base) which I thought may do part of what I wanted but it's a tool aimed at user monitor not servers, and after packaging it up with Webpack and deploying, I received an APM: Platform is not supported! console log, so that's out.

I think after all that I'm going to fall back on some basic [HTTP input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http.html) with Logstash.
