This is why I picked cloudflare to try out

x03•3/26/24, 5:33 PM

Their pricing seems fair

x03•3/26/24, 5:33 PM

compared to other platforms

yeah the issue these days is the amount of products not even that the pricing is complex haha

Walshy•3/26/24, 5:34 PM

we probably do need a calc for all products together

Iiamnotapipe or host yourself!! dont be sad

x03•3/26/24, 5:34 PM

I wanted to do this but it seemed really overwhelming for a project of this scale

x03•3/26/24, 5:34 PM

I need perfect uptime, easy scalability, and speed

ChaikaOP•3/26/24, 5:34 PM

there's a few standalone calculators like for R2 but no overall one, would be nice. Then again even the pricing on the marketing page for workers was outdated for a while lol

Iiamnotapipe theyre like $500 refurbed for 16gb ram, set up some external raid and ur good to...

x03•3/26/24, 5:35 PM

a VPS at most

x03•3/26/24, 5:35 PM

yeah

This would be amazing. Honestly I'm surprised no one in the community has made one yet

x03•3/26/24, 5:36 PM

well still good to estimate

x03•3/26/24, 5:37 PM

I might make one some time

I like building cool things at CF and using it for mvps, but hard with D1 not being recommended for prod traffic/still being worked onand more strict smart placement to use it for everything. I just fallback to the tried and true stack of postgres + clickhouse + asp.net core. CF is heavily on postgres/ch too.
You can always benefit from CF in other ways like using Workers to glue stuff together, proxy, etc

pricing calculators are boring ;p
There is a few community ones though, for more complicated pricing ones like unbound: https://pricing.ceru.dev/?rpm=100000&spr=1&url=

Cloudflare Workers™ pricing calculator

Estimate your next bill, see the price difference. Unofficial calculator for Cloudflare Workers Unbound, Cloudflare R2, and KV.

ChaikaOP•3/26/24, 5:38 PM
