I wrote up my journey moving from Heroku, and friends/family "please host my website" requests to Cloudflare: first for static sites, then CRON jobs, and eventually full JS APIs.
Post isn't sponsored at all, but 1) I found CF surprisingly useful as a solo dev/founder and 2) I haven't written on my tech blog in a while, and 3) I still don't understand why people still use "serverless" that can skyrocket in price, when the same product is available for cheaper.
Obviously, there are still things Cloudflare won't solve for me, maybe it's not a right fit for everyone, so I'm curious how others are keeping their hosting costs sane, share your stories!
