I have a Next.js 13 app that was deployed to the Edge on Cloudflare Pages with experimental: { runtime: 'experimental-edge' }, but requirements were updated and I need to include our feature flag dependency LaunchDarkly - and retrieve the feature flags via getServerSideProps.

Inside getServerSideProps I tried launchdarkly-node-server-sdk, launchdarkly-node-client-sdk, and launchdarkly-js-client-sdk, but they either require a Node specific library (fs and others) or window.

launchdarkly-cloudflare-edge-sdk with @cloudflare/kv-asset-handler looks promising, so I followed the template, but I'm not sure how to extend a Next.js app to have this functionality. For example, do I put the worker into a middleware.ts function or somehow extend the vercel build step to include this functionality.

I haven't tested this out but I am guessing you may need to use the Cloudflare SDK throughout since Cloudflare would deploy the functions as Cloudflare Workers, which is a non-Node runtime.

In a typical Next.js deployment, you'd use the Node server SDK for any server side code (like getServerSideProps) but my assumption is that this may cause errors due to the fact that it relies upon some Node-specific APIs that I am not sure the Workers runtime supports. We (LaunchDarkly) are working on updates to our JavaScript SDKs to better support non-Node runtimes but I don't have an ETA on their release.
