Production Next.js on Cloudflare Free Tier

CloudBlog is an open-source, edge-native blogging platform engineered specifically for Cloudflare's free tier.

How CloudBlog Stays 100% Free

A real-world engineering blueprint that leverages Cloudflare’s generous allowances without hitting limits.

Cloudflare Workers

100,000 requests/day free. Next.js App Router runs on Workers with sub-50ms cold starts globally.

Cloudflare D1

5M reads & 100k writes/day free. Serverless SQLite with compound indexing and optimized pagination prevents database bloat.

Cloudflare R2

10 GB storage with 0 egress fees. High-resolution media files are cached immutably across 300+ edge locations.

Core Architectural Principles

  • Zero Vendor Lock-in in Business Logic: Storage, database, caching, and authentication are strictly decoupled behind clean TypeScript interfaces.
  • Server Components by Default: Zero client-side JavaScript sent for static prose content. Client components are reserved only for interactive features.
  • Privacy-Conscious Light Analytics: No invasive tracking scripts. View counters are deduplicated daily and run in zero-blocking background tasks.
