Cloudflare is Amazing
A 5-year SE managed to publish a website in under an hour.
This site was built using Amazon Q Developer for the static assets (HTML, CSS, JS) and deployed via Cloudflare Pages — all in about an hour on a Saturday. No server setup required. Just push to GitHub and it deploys automatically.
Compared to My First Year
Back in my first year as an SE, trying to publish a website for self-study took about two weeks. That comparison really highlights how impressive Cloudflare is.
Great for Freelancers Too
For freelancers or small business owners who want a homepage, having an SE friend build it on Cloudflare with AI assistance is probably the most cost-effective option. I've heard that just having a WordPress server set up by an agency can cost hundreds of thousands of yen.
Conclusion
Cloudflare is amazing. I'd love to explore more of their services going forward.
