Pros & Cons

Cloudflare Pages

Pros

The free tier is extremely generous — unlimited bandwidth and requests with no bandwidth billing at all+174
Cloudflare Workers integration means your edge functions run in 200+ locations globally with true sub-50ms latency+158
Static asset serving is consistently the fastest I've benchmarked — Cloudflare's network is built for performance at the edge+143
No cold starts for Workers functions because Cloudflare's V8 isolate model keeps them warm without dedicated containers+128

Cons

Debugging Workers is harder than debugging a normal Node.js server — the runtime limitations catch you off guard with crypto or Node.js APIs missing
