No idea. Given that a secure password hash will probably take about 100ms-200ms of execution time to calculate that would fall under Cloudflares "custom pricing" tier that you need to call them and negotiate.

The baseline Cloudflare worker tiers are limited to less than 5ms, less than 10ms, and less than 50ms, which isn't going to be enough time to calculate a 12 round bcrypt for example.

I have a Worker running bcrypt here: https://cloudflareworkers.com/#4addaef33b10b6a58954ffbb310e7...

Based on this code: https://gist.github.com/zackbloom/c0064838cbf85e7b81df9d4690...

That means it would cost you $0.50 / million requests. AWS Lambda would be $1.84 / million, $3.50 / million for API Gateway, $0.40 / million for AWS Route 53, and various other charges.

Technically CloudFlare workers is better compared with Lambda @ Edge no? I don't think you'd be using API Gateway, instead CloudFront right?

Originally we were thinking about it in those terms (as an alternative to Lambda@Edge), but based on our recent results I am happy to have people compare it to Lambda as well. Lambda with API Gateway is at least eight times more expensive than Workers, and only runs your code in one location instead of 151. Unless you're using Lambda to do something ultra-Amazon-specific (like process S3 changes), I don't see why it would be the better choice.

Gotcha. Thanks for explaining!
