Cloudflare workers/pages/D1/R2 works great for me on the free plan. If you’re not familiar, I typically use workers for API type stuff (including auth). D1 is database, R2 is storage (images, files?). Pages are.. pages.

I use Netlify connected to Github/Gitlab, which does a build on every commit to the main branch. For low-volume static sites (which all of mine are) this is free, fast, and convenient.

Many use our service https://controlplane.com - we have an MCP server that makes it trivial to ask for postgres, kafka, cassandra, mongo, cockroachdb, mysql, or many other databases. It is easy and does not limit you in terms of where you can run (any cloud, on prem), and even run multi-region and multi-cloud. I am interested to hear your experience.
