Welp, it looks like if you selfhost, the sandboxing of plugins benefit goes out thr window from what I'm reading. What kind of open source is that? Opencore? More like openinsecure, for thr security version, pay the Piper. I might still give it a try, but I sure hope we can put monthly monetary ceiling, had ceilings on our accounts. Anyone knows if cost-caps are possible on CLOUDFLARE??

Also, it looks like there are egress charges to download R2 object storage. So he day we choose to exit stage left, we will be taxed. Wanna setup independent backups for compliance, we will get taxed on egress. Am I reading this right guys??

You read it wrong. Egress from R2 is free. https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/pricing/

Honestly, you'll struggle to find a cloud platform cheaper than cloudflare.

The $5/mo gets you 10 million dynamic requests (static assets are not included in this limit, so often a single pageview will be 1 dynamic request) and that would be across the whole workers product for your account, no extra pricing for extra websites, domains, or anything else like you'd see in most "wordpress hosting"

I run all my personal sites and client sites (one of them for a fortune 500 company) in the $5/mo plan, and the only time I went over that was when a client got hammered with malicious requests (and it was like $100)

Disclaimer: I have no relationship to cloudflare, I'm just a happy customer

I run a rust webserver on a €4 VPS from hetzner that serves 300M (million) requests a day. Way cheaper than doing that on _any_ "serverless" request-based platform, I think.

Yes perhaps I should have specified you can't get much cheaper for serverless platforms.

You can certainly run a VPS like that for cheaper, you could probably even beat the raw request numbers from those 1€ a month vps from ovh or similar. The key difference is with cloudflare your site is globally distributed by default, and you get to buy into the whole ecosystem, if you want.

The real question nobody asks: do you even really need global distribution?

Most of the time: no

But sometimes you do have clients in both sides of the atlantic and it's nice being able to cut their request times by a few hundred ms "for free". Personally, that's not the main reason I use cloudflare, but it can be handy!

interesting, I'd assumed the lowest tier of hetzner (4.50/m, 2 cpus, 4GB ram) wouldn't hold up to that.

must be very light, for so much traffic. any more details?

CPX11, so 2vCPU/2GB

Care to share your multi-site strategy? I've been investigating ways to program billing alerts, which should alert me when bill is at xx%. There are a few ways, so that makes it more paletable. It just boils my blood when these big platforms don't offer it as a feature. THAT IS JUST PURE UNADULTERATED EVEIL, IT SOULD BE CRIMINAL REALLY!!

Unless someone adds this feature, this is completely uninteresting to me, as well as dishonestly presented by Cloudflare.
