EI will see as the content is statically generated
Cwhat about them?
ECant i offload the workload to them?
EI think 500 workers are more than enough for ~10m requests a day
Cwat
CI was saying 500 workers max as you'd likely want to do a worker per customer, like you would a pages project per customer, if they had all their own assets. But hard with the hard-ish cap on workers
C500 Workers, meaning, only 500 Cloudflare Workers you can create. A Single worker can do a billion requests, not limited in scale, or running location, or anything
EWhy would i do that? Seems like a waste of resources
Cso they can have their own static assets?
Ccan't quite throw a ton of customer static assets into a single worker
EBut i can just throw it into a r2 bucket
CYou could. You pay for those requests though
EHow much?
CCloudflare Docs
R2 charges based on the total volume of data stored, along with two classes of operations on that data:
ELet me see
CGETs are Class Bs, you'd want Frequently Accessed Storage + storage cost
E0.36$ per million reads
CIf you're going Worker, you'd want to use the R2 Binding, and then you'd want to use the Cache API as well. Worth noting any Cache API hits wouldn't cost you anything
Cyea relatively cheap, cheaper then KV at $0.50 per mil
Cstill not cheaper then Worker Static Assets unlimited free requests, plus versioning and such
E:pepethink:
EWould cloudflare let me buy server slot(s) on their data centers?
Ccan't buy vps's or dedi's no, Cloudflare also doesn't own any data centers, merely colocating at existing ones, possible you could colocate at the same location but why
EHmm
EWell my initial plan was to buy server space and my own hardware and run everything on nixos using microvm.nix and firecracker
ESince there isnt much reliable hosting here where i am
EBut i saw cloudflare has servers here
Ccould try finding the Facility they're in and colocating there, possible it's listed on Cloudflare's peeringdb, I'm sure you could google for datacenters in your area as well to colocate in
EI will have a look but i will have a go at cloudflare firstly since its light on $$
Ei appreciate your information your a legend thanks
ZI getting an error “invalid hostname” when trying to add a custom domain with a wildcard to my worker. This worked in the past. Anybody know what's up with that?
CWorker Custom Domains can't be wildcard, only routes
ZI am using custom wildcard domains with 2 workers right now
CWorker Routes can be wildcard
Zright, but without the domain, there's no DNS record actually pointing to the worker, or am I misunderstanding something?
CWith Routes you just make originless records if you don't have an actual origin behind it, AAAA target 100::
Ceither wildcard or just for a specific hostname
C100:: is IPv6 discard, basically "handle inside of CF or drop and don't go anywhere)
Zlike this?
Cyup
Zthanks for your help! getting a certificate error right now, but I assume it may take a bit for those to be issued
Cdid you issue one w/ ACM or have Total TLS on?
Cthat's lower then the first layer, the universal cert won't cover you
ZI just enabled the total tls
Zand it's working now, thanks a ton!
ECant u have wildcard domains route through a worker and then manage it from there?
CYou can have Wildcard Worker Routes, but not wildcard Worker Custom Domains, is what that was about
EBut cant the client route to the wildcard
CThe client, as in an external customer not using CF?
EYes
