Yes, Workers are excellent for cache invalidation. You can create an endpoint in your Worker that accepts a request to invalidate specific URLs or cache keys. This endpoint would then use the Cloudflare Cache API to purge the relevant cached content. This provides more granular control than relying solely on TTLs.
