How I Ended Up Choosing Cloudflare Workers for My Projects

The author is building a Micro SaaS with a focus on reliability and cost-effectiveness. They discovered that serverless architecture is the ideal solution for this goal. Serverless allows them to concentrate on feature development instead of server maintenance. Cloudflare was chosen as the serverless platform due to its developer tooling. Cloudflare Workers enable deploying JavaScript applications directly on their global edge network. This results in faster execution closer to users and global distribution. The cost for small projects is significantly lower compared to other serverless providers. A notable limitation is the V8 engine execution environment, which lacks full Node.js compatibility. Libraries relying on unsupported Node.js features may not function correctly. Despite this, the author is enthusiastic about Cloudflare Workers' benefits for solo developers and is committed to using it for their new project.
