i mean sure

if you need something, we are here to help

Yeah I’m gonna give it a shot this weekend, but it definitely feels quite daunting. It’s like going from a screwdriver to a power drill in value, but the learning curve is a lot steeper for a non-engineer. The only JavaScript that is on my website right now is essentially plug and play. I didn’t have to write any of it myself.

it's definitely worth trying atleast

Oh I’m going to figure out how to do it if it takes me six months, it’s that valuable, I just don’t want it to take me six months

By the way am I reading it right that Cloudflare functions will eventually not have a free plan?

I’m probably only gonna be serving a couple dozen to a couple hundred requests per month and I just want to get a sense of how much that might cost going forward.

tbh, i think it will have one, it's tba atm

you can expect similar costing as normal workers

so a base fee, and very little after

But I thought current workers have a free plan

they do

check paid pricing

Right I just wasn’t sure if the free plan would also apply to functions

yea, that's tba

if it's not free, i assume it will be about the same as workers paid plan

> In just a few short months, when we announce General Availability, you can expect our billing to reflect that of the Workers Bundled plan — after all, these are just Workers under the hood! https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-pages-goes-full-stack/

🙂

> Try it at no cost — for a limited time only to contradict that

so, prolly paid workers equivalent?

would that make it a paid tier only thing, guess we will find out at ga

pretty sure we'll always have a generous free tier, functions included

but for now, you can use 100k requests a day, totally separate to your workers limits, and you can fill out a form to request more if you need it

that's good to hear

out of curiosity - I moved a SvelteKit site over to pages, this particular one doesn't use any functions yet, but I'm still getting functions usage. is there some implicit function running happening?

ah you know what, there's _worker.js, nm. looks like it's for SSR.

Prototyping a real time news feed & story generator using NextJs and superbase (think Feedly meets GPT3) Is there a good way to deploy this on Cloudflare Pages/Workers? The nature of the app is it will have relatively niche user base (industry specific not expecting large numbers of users) that will need to browse 1000s of stories in near real time that will update via a streaming sockets style pipeline on the app, they will also selectively generate new content in the app on demand (API connecting to GPT3) Is CloudFlare Pages/workers the right solution or should I stick to Vercel or AWS?

This page was unbelievably helpful in enabling me to understand how Functions/workers are built: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/examples/geolocation-app-weather

just out of curiosity, what motivated the move?

@User wanted to give it a shot, and it's super fast, and in my case I can fully get away with the static adapter
