Cloudflare Pages and Workers (and similar products) are indeed great but I recently switched over to a plain old free tier Oracle Cloud VM with FastAPI behind Nginx (Docker containers). I use Cloudflare as a proxy for HTTPS/certs. I don't have to think about Cloudflare Worker limitations, can host a Postgres instance, and simply deploy through `git pull` and `docker-compose up`.
- alphabettsy 4y agoUsing Fly.io myself, behind Cloudflare. Free container hosting and free Postgres instance both big enough for my needs.

- andrewstuart 4y agoIt's tempting to use the Oracle free instance but I wouldn't use it for production cause I don't trust it will be free in the long term.
