Now: Cloudflare Workers and Pages, plus Railway for heavy exports, running 7 months

$60–$780net saved per year, after running costs

Josh Duffy moved his 13 projects from Vercel to Cloudflare Workers and Pages, with Railway for heavy export jobs, after a connection-pool bug ran up a wall-clock function duration bill. He chose Cloudflare because it bills CPU time only, so idle timeouts cost nothing.
