I’ve spent more than a decade running production infrastructure on Cloudflare. So I rated almost 50 @cloudflare.social products out of 10, asking: would I recommend building on this today? Some are exceptional. Some have burned me. A few are both. orangecloud.report

And finally, we've introduced a long-standing request for extended terms, now offering 3 month and yearly options for those who want to lock-in some cheaper pricing up-front. Lots more coming soon, and we'd love any feedback you may have to share! ❤️

Not sure what plan you need? We've extended our recommendations engine to be tailored for specific games. But if you're still not sure, reach out to our team and they'll help you out! We'll be extending this engine to support recommendations for UGC like modpacks soon. 👀

One of the most frequent comments we'd get around our pricing was that it was too restrictive, so now you can build your own Bot, with the specific features you need! 💲 Only need more RAM and no additional instances? No problem!

Cloudflare Pages means the site scales infinitely and runs as close to everyone as possible. 🌍 Astro Hybrid Rendering gives me the best of both worlds, with some statically generated pages, and some dynamic SSR ones. 🕺

Why? 🤔 What folks publish on GitHub isn't what's necessarily published to npm. Malicious packages and account compromises happen all the time. And changelogs are also just inconsistent. It's nice to quickly and easily see exactly what changed between versions.

Recently I launched npmdiff.dev It lets you quickly and easily diff any 2 versions of an npm package, in its entirety, or file by file. Powered by Cloudflare Pages and Astro Hybrid Rendering.

npm diff

Diff versions of npm packages to discover changes between those versions.

I'm really not sure how I feel about this syntax for @vercel.com's Postgres 🤔 Tagged templates are a JS feature I don't think most people are familiar with, and on the surface this looks like SQL injection. Moving away from Vercel in future could result in folks not understanding this magic. 🤷‍♀️

Well this is pretty neat. Thanks @walshy.dev for the invite - you can be okay sometimes I guess. 😀
