Cloudflare Is More Than a CDN
Most people know Cloudflare as a CDN — a service that caches static files closer to users. But Cloudflare is much more today.
Cloudflare Workers, Pages, D1, R2, KV, Queues — it is a complete development platform. And Modulo CMS runs on all of it.
Why We Left Traditional Servers
Before Modulo CMS, we ran projects on VPS (Virtual Private Server). Monthly fees of ~€20-50, managing OS updates, security patches, nginx config, SSL certificates, monitoring...
This is not work that adds value for the client.
Cloudflare Workers: Serverless on the Edge
Workers are JavaScript functions that run on Cloudflare infrastructure. When a request comes in, Cloudflare routes it to the nearest data center and runs your code there.
Availability: 99.99% SLA. Auto-scale: automatic. Cold start: less than 1ms (not a second like Lambda). Price: €0 for one million requests per day.
Cloudflare Pages: Hosting for Nuxt
Pages is hosting for static and SSR applications. You connect a git repository, Pages automatically builds and deploys.
For Modulo CMS this means: commit a change, in 2 minutes it is live in production. No SSH, no FTP, no docker-compose.
Global Reach Without Extra Costs
Cloudflare has 300+ Points of Presence (PoP) around the world. Your code runs on all of them simultaneously. A visitor from Tokyo gets the same fast response as a visitor from Bratislava.
With a traditional server, that would require multi-region deployment with a load balancer. Cost: hundreds of euros per month. On Cloudflare: €0.
Conclusion
The move to Cloudflare was not just a technology change. It was a shift in how we think about infrastructure. Instead of "which server do I buy?" the question is "how do I write code efficiently?"
The answer to questions about infrastructure reliability is now Cloudflare's problem, not ours.
