SERVERLESS

Cloudflare moved cdnjs, the open-source CDN behind ~12% of the web, entirely onto Workers, Workflows, R2, and Queues. The migration raised two platform limits for everyone. Here is what changed and why it matters.

Neon's branching model, serverless driver, and scale-to-zero autoscaling make it one of the most practical Postgres hosts for teams building AI agents and preview-heavy apps. Here is what you need to know before committing.

Serverless Postgres with branching. Free tier, instant database branches per PR, autoscaling compute, and scale-to-zero. Acquired by Databricks in 2025.

Durable workflows and background jobs for serverless. Step-level retries, scheduling, and event-driven functions.

Type-safe SQL builder and ORM for TypeScript. Zero runtime overhead, honest schema migrations, bring-your-own-DB.

Serverless cloud for AI/ML workloads. Write Python with decorators, Modal handles GPU provisioning and scaling. 2-4s cold starts. Scales to zero. $30/mo free compute.

Deployment platform behind Next.js. Git push to deploy. Edge functions, image optimization, analytics. Free tier is generous.
