Very good video, keep up the good work. I would like to add, that once a project on cloudflare gets big enough, there is the chance that cloudflare will hold your project hostage until you upgrade to the enterprise tier. Even if your project was running fine on a different tier. Combined with the vendor lock-in, this can be quite bad. And this has happened before with many other companies, so is something to keep in mind. But if your project stays quite small, this should not be a problem you'll run into.

[@backpine]

Thank you! This is indeed in the back of my mind as I use Cloudflare. This is how I think about it: 1. When I build solutions for big companies with a large existing user base I will ship to AWS or another mainstream provider. There is really no debate here. 2. If I am building products for small/medium companies that will likely never need to scale or hit a large user base I'd consider Cloudflare and I would have them purchase the proper tier for their traffic. 3. When I ship side projects, I am currently using cloudflare. I got tiered of paying for several dozen VPS and a load balancer for projects that don't make much money. If one day I strike lighting in a bottle and one of my projects gets a lot of traction I'd either become a CF enterprise user (which would make sense) or start the migration process. To me the hard part is not the migration or ponying up money to a vendor like cloudflare. The hard part is actually finding and building something that people want I might be wrong here, but I think it is safe for other indie hackers to take the same approach as me

Great exposition video on CW platform! No BS, just describe then demonstrate the use case. A good topic to deep dive would be the design pattern for the ease-of-use vs mitigating vendor lock in.

[@backpine]

This is a great suggestion as it is a very important topic! I have spent time thinking about designing in away to avoid vendor lock-in but my thoughts are not fully flushed out. Once I have a mature opinion on this topic I'll make a video comparing the pros and cons

[@jatih9657]

@@backpine I'm more or less on the same boat. For me very roughly it means being able to run in parallel / load balanced with self-hosted instances. It's less abstract if you're going with an existing service and building replacement workers/functions via CW platform + setting up replication for the stateful data. But for starting from scratch on CW platform side it might be more abstract with more pitfalls depending on the features used. Nonetheless, eventually I'll get around to it since I think this will be great to have for handling excess load / serve as backup. Would be interesting to see if it's viable to use single VPS + CW platform to get high availability + scalability as an alternative to multiple VPS & kubernetes / other container orchestration.

Should keep in mind that building on Cloudflare, while a great dev experience, can lead to vendor lock in just like the other platforms. VPS is still the best way to go to host in most situations imo.

[@backpine]

Agreed, I also prefer this route for projects that already have significant traffic or are making good money. But if you go the VPS route you have to consider production readiness. Best practice is to spin up at least three VPS instances, stick them behind a load balancer, most likely put a proxy in front of the load balancer, build out your preferred CICD pipeline (coolify is nice), and set up robust external logging and monitoring system. When getting started on a small project these things should also be considered.

I have heard of people having issues with the more advance features of Next when deploying to platforms other than Vercel. As I stumble upon the tradeoffs I will be sure to document those.

This is a really good callout! When I design database schemas I will typically use relational databases to store metadata and basic user info. Whenever I have large text blocks or JSON objects I will store these in R2/S3 and use the database to reference these objects. With this pattern, it is very hard to hit the 10GB max. That being said, you do alway have the option of bringing your own Postgres database and using Hyperdrive to interface with in it your workers.

What a great video! Personally i prefer to build and deploy on a vps with docker or k8s because i don't want to depend on providers as they become really expensive when you have more traffic, especially vercel but for a serverless app in js or high level languages, cloudflare seem to fit very well. Have you tried to build fullstack apps with htmx (or just templ) and golang ? I always wanted to tried this stack. Anyway thanks for the advice

[@backpine]

Thanks for the comment! I also personally favor deploying to a VPS with docker. I actually built an AI language study tool with the stack you mentioned (HTMX, Go with Fiber and templ, shipped with docker to a VPS on digital ocean). It's a very fun stack to work with and I especially love working with Go. But when building apps that are more interactive on the client side I like working with SveltKit deployed to Cloudflare. I actually want to make a video weighing the cost of shipping a production app (with a database, object storage, and a monitoring system) to a series of VPS instances vs Cloudflare workers. My rough estimate is that your app needs to receive *80,000,000 monthly requests for it to be more cost effective on k8s compared to Cloudflare workers. When working with k8s what cloud provider do you prefer?

[@4lxprime730]

@@backpine With k8s i don't have much experience but i'm actually deploying on OVH (because i needed huge GPU instances for ai stuff and they seem to have great pricing on them), few years ago their ui/ux was terrible and badly worst than aws but now its really nice. I've deployed many times on digital ocean with their $200 credits without docker and it was great, but a long time ago. 80,000,000 requests monthly seems a lot but, if i'm not wrong it is ~31rps if your traffic is the same 24/24, which is not that much ..

I know the free tier of workers has a burst limit of 1000 requests a minute (which is not a lot). But if you handling that type of traffic you'd need to upgrade to the $5 a month tier anyways. I have never heard of OVH, so I will have to take a look. Have you considered Replicate for your AI compute?

How is the observability story in Cloudflare?

[@backpine]

I'll be making a video about this soon. They recently rolled out a new log monitoring system for workers and you can also push logs to other observability providers. I push all logs and metrics to a service called Baselime where can create dashboards, debug, and manage alerting. I'd say observability right out of the box with CF is just okay, but it's easy to create your own observability solution that is really good

[@infdesu]

@@backpine Thanks, looking forward to your take on this. I've used Baselime with Vercel and that integration is straight up useless because the default integration (that can't be customized) sets incoming log event metadata wrong, making most of the tool really hard to use. It could be a case where our deployed payload (Nuxt) runs as a catch-all monolith route with an internal request router instead of gazillion individually deployed cloud functions and that use-case is simply not supported... but that's a pretty weak reason if so. Hence, I'm interested in if Baselime (or whatever) works nicer with Cloudflare's stuff for some magical reason 🙂 Another content idea: if/how to make Cloudflare play ball with monorepos. I had a terrible time trying to use their integration and not trigger CI builds on commits that do not touch the project in question inside a monorepo. Probably that is a case of moving to use GH actions to ochestrate builds... making it a deep enough topic to probably have some hidden knowledge with a video. Doing the same in Vercel definitely involved exploring some undocumented aspect of their CLI to manage preview deployment domain alising, for example. Thanks for the video! Good stuff 👏

[@backpine]

Thanks for the suggestion. How long ago did you try to set up a mono repo with CF? I structure my projects as a mono repo as I like to share schemas across services. This pattern is also good if you go the trpc route. Anyways, pages allows you to add path changes to trigger deployments. This has worked perfectly for me so far. Not sure if it's a newish feature. For workers you're right, it would probably make sense move the deployment to GH actions.

Not being able to use express and had to use hono bring in its seperate sets of problems 🙂

What do you mean by not being able to use npm?

[@harshitpant07]

@@backpine when i tried using cloudflare for one of my project as a backend i use hono since edge env doesnt support npm and so i have heard thats why we use hono

[@backpine]

@@harshitpant07 I also use Hono as a backend when deploying to Cloudflare and I use npm for package management. I think the issue you were running into is that Cloudflare workers do not run Nodejs. They use V8 as their runtime, so basically all projects deployed to Cloudflare need to be bundled in a way that is compatible with V8. Most mainstream frameworks will have build-time dependancies to bundle the code so it is compatible with V8. But some frameworks like Express JS have very deep Nodejs dependencies and are not able to run on Cloudflare. This is where frameworks like Hono come into play, to provide Express-like features that can be shipped to non-nodejs runtimes. You can google "Cloudlfare Workers Framework guide" to see a list of the core supported frameworks. I'll be making a video about this soon if you are interested (:

@@backpine ok thanks i think my half-assed knowledge is perfected somehow and i never ran into any problem i was just saying some features of node and express are hard to find in hono just that is, I'll wait for your video nice explanation man!

Waiting for the tutorial 😊

Why did you render your video as interlaced? I see interlacing lines.

[@backpine]

I have no idea what that means 😂 I'm incredibly new to video editing. Literally leaned Davinci Resolve while editing this video. I'd love any pointers if you have

[@m3mem4chine86]

@@backpine You rendered the video as interlaced instead of progressive scan. Interlaced video was used for analog television (and CRTs). It means frames alternate between odd and even lines, rather than the whole frame. Check your render profile and set it to progressive scan.

@@m3mem4chine86 thank you for this info!! I am checking my setting now

Guys I think this video is AI generated because it's too convincing. Bro you're a legend

[@backpine]

Lol I appreciate you! TBH I want to find a way to lever AI for the editing. It took like 20 hours to edit and the quality is still mid

Cool sales pitch

How did you use R2 without a credit card?
