TIL how to use Cloudflare Workers and Cloudflare Pages. Hilariously I deployed a home-cooked app that is only used by me and @mhilltopple.

But hey, at least it’ll be lightning fast if we happen to find ourselves on the other side of the world.

I used 11ty to generate the frontend site. It uses Alpine.js for interactivity and Pico CSS for styling. Deployed to Cloudflare Pages.

The backend API is Hono running in a Cloudflare Worker. I used Cloudflare’s embedded SQLite database (D1) for data storage.

It was a little bumpy figuring things out, but the docs are pretty helpful. I find Cloudflare’s UI and docs less intimidating than AWS.
