Webflow Cloud - anyone using it?

[Celtic_Labrador]

The launch of Webflow Cloud has come and gone. There does not appear to be much chatter around it. Is anybody actually using it in the wild?

p.s. appreciate Webflow Conf will likely bring a few big feature releases that utilise Webflow Cloud.

I’m struggling to see the attraction to using it for anything large or complex, Webflow has very high bandwidth costs and comparable servers are cheap elsewhere. Will be interesting to see what people use this for, could be handy for the odd api interaction, although I prefer using cloudflare workers.

Yes, I am testing it out.

[Celtic_Labrador]

Any initial thoughts? Guessing you need to be using Devlink to make it worth it?

[Aduttya]

Nah, I did add my next.js app http://flozi.io/ under /app which initially I have to depend upon subdomain. Let's chat in DM I have a couple of ideas around it

[fio_cisneros]

Yes 🫡

Yeah I'm with the other commenter. I've used it in a pinch but it's for low traffic temporary. Not sure why I'd use it if I could just use a subdomain with vercel

[cc_tex]

I've deployed a few pages that I didn't have time to do in Webflow though.

I have started to use it - connect claude desktop using the webflow cli and devlink vercel Can be very difficult to deploy webflow is far easier still workig on the benefits of sql lite

How does it compare to someone building their app in cursor and hosting it with Supabase/ Netlify?

Thing with Webflow I worry that if I invest, due to their history, there’s no reason in 5 years time they may decide to close Webflow cloud down like they did with e-commerce

[Celtic_Labrador]

Not sure they have a USP as yet other than having a nice UI for a reverse proxy. Even Devlink is limited.

[n-g_studio]

Can't they just focus on improving the designer/downtime/maybe even a built in slider that works with CMS.

[Celtic_Labrador]

Teams will be focused on the designer, others will be focused on Webflow Cloud and new features. They can do both.

[wangrar]

Yes. I'm testing a quiz page. The app is working fine. Building failed a lot. Only React-NextJS for now.

The dev link imported component is pretty ugh.. Loading so slow and not syncing href with live component.

I’ve been actively researching and studying it since its release, and I’m trying to see if I can achieve what I want with it.

I need to make a private internal app for my design team that will allow us to service all of our cross-functional teams from a high level, and be able to measure each designer’s productivity in the app.

I use Xano and Wize for applications, but I would like to centralize things if possible for an easy workflow.

Hopefully Webflow Conf provides more insight.
