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=

postgres

Xx03 C# 😨

CF is more Go & Rust, but Go is closish to C# ;p

x03OP•3/26/24, 5:39 PM

Honestly if pricing becomes an issue I'll just host a rust backend on a VPS with postgres and redis on there as well, and hook it up to CF pages

Walshy•3/26/24, 5:39 PM

Yep! Big on Go & Rust

Yeah I'm really really contemplated on Cloud VS VPS, like I've been asking for advice and thinking about it for weeks.

Using a VPS is simply cheaper, but 100x harder to properly set up, scale, ensure uptime, maintain, etc.

Cloud ensures speed, easy scalability, and it abstracts a lot of maintenance stuff, but the pricing is way higher
