I went the other way around, from a cloudflare to vercel, the main reason was I cannot connect custom domains to pages programmatically you can only do that after you create a new domain asset and transfer its nameservers there, where in vercel, it just works Thanks for the video
Queues and event driven architecture = Inngest. I use NextJS, Vercel, Supabase (Postgres+Prisma), Upstash and Inngest. I was hard core deep into 100+ resources in AWS/Terraform before.
Yes! This is been on my mind for so long, but I got to admit I’ve been on auto pilot following the good DX and what seems popular and works for me. Especially when working on projects that need to be handed over to clients, cloud flower seems to make a lot more sense than the alternatives which are clearly meant for internal teams
I’ll tell you right now, I have segmented my applications entire backend and web architecture into workers and pages. Even the database is running in Cloudflare. Workers are insanely capable, they’re fast and they’re cost effective. Oh, and they never fall over. Cloudflare 1000% > Vercel IMO.
CF has been a revelation since I started using it to build a remix site, but not being able to connect to the KV store etc. in development is a real drag.
cloudflare is amazing - I just deployed a full stack Astro + solid front end with Hono backend and uses r2 for storage and it will cost $0 until people use it. The way it’s supposed to be.
well considering Next.js Cloudflare is not a real alternative, I hit a wall after using server actions and middleware where Cloudflare kept asking me to run every single page on the edge, and then once I did that I hit the limit for edge functions bundle so I was forced to go back to Vercel. It is good for smaller projects I guess, in case of Next.js. Btw I don't fully understand what caused it to ask me to add edge everywhere, beacuse it was not happening before, my guess is server actions or middleware...idk
Yeah that's a tough one. I'll admit Next.js and Cloudflare aren't a great match for the bundling concerns you mentioned. There also isn't a roadmap to access the cloudflare runtime from your Next.js dev server. Cloudflare is betting on tools that use Vite, which would be Astro, Remix, Nuxt, and SvelteKit. It's a lot to ask people to try new frameworks! But as an Astro enthusiast, I'd say it's worth it.
Do you have a newsletter or anything else where you do longer in depth content? Just stumbled upon your youtube and it's great but the focus seems to be on youtube shorts
@@bholmesdev You're that swe that quickly ramped up at faang right? A video or a blog post on how you did that from a technical perspective would be great.

I don’t think, I am a “Vercel Stan” I just couldn’t find a worthy alternative, tbh all these alternatives are similar to switching to Firefox for no good reason other than being different
... I still don't even know why people want the cloud for most projects. It's slow to develop for, and just generally slow (maybe they solved edge db replication stuff over the last few years, which would help) ... and for some reason, also expensive at any real scale.
Imagine if cloudflare forked next.js or created their opiniated web framework that equals or surpasses the DX of next.js. That would be the end of vercel. Not sure why they don't do it?
D1 and R2 are unfortunately not actually distributed yet like you mention in your video. Super easy to accidentally think they are… only thing I don’t like about Cloudflare’s platform is this misleading marketing…

This channel is criminally underrated.
nah
Agreed. Is he the GenZ Theo?
People don’t know Ben, which means they don’t know Astro still. What a sad world 😢
Criminal as in stealing one of most popular Ben Awad's video thumbnail?
Cloudflare is definitely climbing the list of my go-to deployment providers.
Don't let Theo see this...
Theo is a jr dev with who has followers because they are up and coming devs that don't know any better.
Damn im less skilled than a jr dev @@1015AK
@@1015AKlmfao for real, some of these "coding influencers" make it waaaaay too obvious they're just influencers.
Pretty sure that guy is being paid by Vercel on the side

It’s a great strategy to get engagement. The explainer was fantastic though

Dude, please make more content. This was fantastic.
I never worked with Vercel, only know it by name. I watched the whole video because your presentation style is so great. A job well done 👏
your content is amazing dude. didn't think your energy on stream could be topped, but i was clearly wrong. keep it up!
great vid. Packed full of eastereggs, especially the email one was hilarious.

You should do a part 2 on SST Ion - you can deploy SST apps to cloudflare now
Woah didn't know that

What about SST? Love to see how to leverage SST with Cloudflair to really move out of Vercel forever
Gotta boost this man
I use it all the time. Only positive experiences
need to give this a try, thx

The Astro Cloudflare adapter was just batched with some bug fixes and hybrid mode seems to be working correctly now 🤞
Not SSR mode though
@@danfascia really? Because I am using it in Hybrid mode, and I is working
@@TerryDellino it works, but the environment variable importing has gone really messed up in a recent version
might just move to cloudflare after this haha

What is the theme you are using for vscode and terminal👀
Imagine if cloudflare forked next.js or created their opiniated web framework that equals or surpasses the DX of next.js. That would be the end of vercel. Not sure why they don't do it?
Please not another Js web framework 😅
Just use Remix instead of the Next nonsense
