How are you dealing with or working around the fact that Cloudflare Pages has minimal Node.js support?

I love Cloudflare and would love to become a paying customer. However, I often run into roadblocks that make it difficult or even impossible to use Cloudflare for web apps. It appears that the lack of Node.js support is the main issue (or maybe the only issue) that prevents me from using Cloudflare's platform. For example, I have been unable to deploy apps that use Firebase authentication and I get errors saying that the fs module is not supported in Cloudflare's runtime environment. There are many other packages/modules that are not supported in Cloudflare, which prevent me from using Cloudflare's platform for my apps. Vercel seems to be the next best option because things seem to just work on Vercel's platform.

What has been your experience with Cloudflare? Do you have any tips or advice for hosting web apps on Cloudflare? Is there a way to work with Cloudflare that is as easy as working with Vercel?

Thank you!
