Cloudflare Workers & Pages
Cloudflare Workers is a serverless compute platform running on Cloudflare's edge network, and Cloudflare Pages is its platform for deploying static and full-stack sites.
Our verdict
The cheapest serious hosting: a generous free tier, a $5/month paid minimum and no egress charges on Workers. Best for static sites and edge functions; less suited to long-running servers.
Best for
- ✓ Static sites and edge APIs on a tiny budget
- ✓ Global low-latency apps
- ✓ No-egress-fee hosting
Watch out for
- ! Edge runtime limits: not every Node.js library works
- ! Per-invocation CPU limits
