Reviewer scorecard
“The free tier is absurdly generous and the cold starts are essentially zero. For APIs, middleware, and edge logic, nothing else gives you this performance at this price.”
“The lingua franca of infrastructure as code. Provider ecosystem covers every cloud service imaginable.”
“The Worker runtime has limitations — no Node.js stdlib, size limits, CPU time limits. Know the constraints. But for what it does well, it's unbeatable.”
“BSL license change was controversial but the tool remains essential. OpenTofu is the hedge if needed.”
“Cloudflare is building the programmable internet. Workers + D1 + R2 + AI = a complete platform that runs at the edge. They're quietly becoming the default infrastructure layer.”
“Infrastructure as code is table stakes. Terraform's provider ecosystem is its moat and it keeps growing.”
