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.”
“Beautiful self-hosted uptime monitoring. Setup takes 5 minutes with Docker. Status pages included.”
“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.”
“Free, self-hosted, and looks professional. The notification integrations cover every platform imaginable.”
“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.”
“Self-hosted monitoring that looks great and works reliably. Open-source infrastructure monitoring is mature.”
