Key Strengths
- Unlimited bandwidth — unique among free tiers (Vercel caps at 100GB, Netlify at ~30GB)
- Integrated Workers platform (KV, D1 SQLite, R2, Queues, AI)
- Fastest CDN in the world (350+ edge locations)
- No cold starts (code runs at edge, not spun down)
Weaknesses
- Workers have 10ms CPU limit per request (tight for heavy compute)
- No native Docker support
- Build minutes (500/mo) lower than Vercel (6,000/mo)
- Workers scripting has a learning curve vs simple config
Best For
- Marketing sites, blogs, docs (static)
- Sites expecting traffic spikes (unlimited bandwidth)
- Full-stack edge apps (Workers + D1 + R2)
- Developers already in Cloudflare ecosystem (DNS, email, CDN)
