Depends on your product, but I'm able to do everything via Cloudflare workers, KV, DurableObjects, and use JSON files stored in Cloudflare CDN as source of truth (hosted for free btw)

Cloudflare KV can store most of what you need in JSON form, while DurableObjects let you model updates with transactional guarantees.

My app is particularly read heavy though, and backing data is mostly static (but gets updated daily).

Honestly after using Cloudflare feel like they will easily become the go to cloud for building small/quick apps. Everything is integrated much better than AWS and way more user friendly from docs and dev experience perspective. Also their dev velocity on new features is pretty insane.

Honestly didn't think that much of them until I started digging into these things.

Edit: And just today their S3 competitor entered open beta https://blog.cloudflare.com/r2-open-beta/
