What is Cloudflare?
Cloudflare Workers & Pages provides hyper-distributed serverless compute running on Cloudflare's 300+ city global anycast edge network. It delivers near-zero cold starts, built-in vector search (Vectorize), serverless SQL (D1), and zero data egress fees on R2 object storage.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- check_circleZero data egress fees on Cloudflare R2 object storage (saving thousands vs S3/Vercel)
- check_circleSub-millisecond cold starts powered by V8 isolates rather than container spins
- check_circleNative edge AI stack: Workers AI (serverless inference) and Vectorize (vector DB)
- check_circleGenerous free tier: 100,000 requests/day for Workers, unlimited bandwidth on Pages
Cons
- errorRuns in V8 isolates, meaning native Node.js C++ bindings and certain POSIX APIs are unsupported
- errorCannot run standard Docker containers or long-lived Linux server binaries
- errorCPU execution time limits (50ms on Free; up to 30s HTTP / 15m Queue on Workers Paid)
