Cloudflare Workers Full-Stack Internship Project

An application that will randomly send users to one of two webpages, as described in the assignment specs. All three extra credit features were implemented. This project taught me a lot about Cloudflare Workers and its Runtime APIs. I enjoyed the project and really appreciate the opportunity to apply to Cloudflare and learn about new technologies like Workers.
Features
1. Request the URLs from the API
Makes a fetch request to https://cfw-takehome.developers.workers.dev/api/variants, parses the response as JSON, and saves to a variable.
2. Request a URL variant
Makes a fetch request to one of the two URLs and returns it as the response from the script.
3. Distribute requests between variants (A/B Testing)
The /api/variants API route returns an array of two URLs. Requests are evenly distributed between the two urls, in A/B testing style. This means that when a client makes a request to the Workers script, the script roughly returns each variant around 50% of the time. This is ensured by choosing the variant randomly with a 50% probability of getting either variant 1 or variant 2.
Extra Credit
1. Changing copy/URLs
Modified some text and the redirection url.
2. Persisting variants
If a user visits the site and receives one of the two URLs, the client persists which URL is chosen in a cookie so that they always see the same variant when they return to the application.
3. Publish to a domain
