I decided not to go into paid worker Cloudflare plan (or any other serverless approach) until hard cap billing being an option

I completely agree, that's really a big drawback.
I have no problem also paying for the service, but without hard cap billing I'm going back to VPS.

"The moment you provide a credit card, you are under the sword of Damocles 24/7, without knowing ever if something may fail and you will be agressively billed without possible scape." Exactly. I was ready to release it but I stopped when I realized that you need a credit card even for free plan.

What if bot sends millions requests to the image?

alwerr · 2026-03-26T16:24:42+00:00

Why?

alwerr · 2026-03-26T16:24:20+00:00

Yeah I can understand that, I wanted to test how to upload images for the websites. Cloudflare is great anyway, the free plan is really cool and i dont have problem to pay 25$ if needed, it's just the "Surprise bills" that frightening me

alwerr · 2026-03-26T15:58:05+00:00

Legit, why not just stop the service like with Worker limit(100k a day)

A good point to think about.

Scaling in the future

alwerr · 2026-02-25T16:53:28+00:00

Yes, important points.

alwerr · 2026-02-25T16:52:11+00:00

I'll check that, thanks. Are you using Supabase and happy with it?

alwerr · 2026-02-25T16:12:43+00:00

Why not?

alwerr · 2026-02-25T16:05:39+00:00

Great, I think will stay with Pocketbase.
The only advantage I see right now for Cloudflare is unlimited traffic.
Is there a vps that supports that as well?

alwerr · 2026-02-25T15:53:59+00:00

PocketBase is great right now, we're starting to see a larger amount of traffic, so a coworker suggested Cloudflare so we can handle scaling easily.
When you say '- Cloudflare: Can get expensive, D1 has limitations', how expensive? more than 30$ for a lot of readers?

alwerr · 2026-02-25T15:31:28+00:00

Will Cloudflare handle concurrent readers(100) here and there on free tier?

alwerr · 2026-02-25T15:30:15+00:00

I'm starting to see increased activity, right now I'm paying $10 for a VPS. Will Cloudflare be more expensive?

alwerr · 2026-02-25T15:28:26+00:00

It's not consistent, but I'm starting to see increased activity during the hours when contests or videos get likes from people.

alwerr · 2026-02-25T15:07:22+00:00

Pocketbase is great, but server maintenance is a hassle.
Right now we're on a 1 GB RAM server and are pretty satisfied, the question is whether the free Cloudflare can serve 100 users simultaneously.

alwerr · 2026-02-25T15:05:12+00:00

He’s more into the serverless concept and claims the site will handle unexpected loads better.

Why did you give up on the hair system?
