-This is done via the `src/server.ts` file.
+The Server Entry Point supports the universal fetch handler format, commonly used by [Cloudflare Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/handlers/fetch/) and other WinterCG-compatible runtimes.
 
-```tsx

-import handler, { type ServerEntry } from '@tanstack/react-start/server-entry'
+To ensure interoperability, the default export must conform to our `ServerEntry` interface:

 Whether we are statically generating our app or serving it dynamically, the `server.ts` file is the entry point for doing all SSR-related work as well as for handling server routes and server function requests.
