Nicee post. I used to publish my websites on Netlify, then moved to Vercel, then to Cloudflare. How do you think Cloudflare Workers would perform if you put it on a comparison here right beside Vercel and Netlify?
Currently, I stay on Cloudflare due to the massive free tiers that far exceed what Vercel and Netlify provide. 100,000 free requests/day is insane. But performance-wise, I haven't conducted a thorough benchmark across the three.
Haha, I totally feel you on Cloudflare! Those 100k free requests per day are basically a cheat code, especially when you see how fast Vercel bills can scale up once you hit the limits.
Performance-wise, it's a fascinating trade-off. Cloudflare usually wins on cold starts because they use V8 isolates, while Vercel and Netlify can sometimes feel a bit sluggish with traditional serverless functions. That said, Vercel still has that 'magic' DX for Next.js where everything just works out of the box.
Honestly, you’ve convinced me—I need to run a proper benchmark between the three. I’ll try to squeeze that into a future post with some real-world latency numbers. Thanks for the spark!
A cheat code! Haha I like that. Suits it so perfectly. And if you pay for the paid worker which is only $5/month, you get 10,000,000 requests/month! I probably look like an affiliate now, but this is just too crazy. I honestly don't understand how they can get any profit from that.
I'll look forward to your benchmark. If Cloudflare wins, there's really no reason not to use it. Regarding the Vercel magic for Nextjs, we already solved that with OpenNext.
There's actually one thing Vercel excels at that I've missed out since I migrated to Cloudflare. It's the UX and DX. Everything is just so smooth and easy to use. The deployment, the branching, the environment. One look and you understand what to do.
With Cloudflare, I had to research whether I should use Cloudflare Pages or Cloudflare Workers... Bruh.
