Can you deploy 700MB Dockerfiles to Cloudflare, as they mention as a minimum requirement in the article?

Why would they need that on Cloudflare?

Since they didn't had to change much of their original functions to docker, if they would have switched to Cloudflare from Vercel directly.

That would have been a lot quicker for them to do...

Alternatively, Cloudflare supports hono which they moved too.

Didn't they only need the 700MB dockerfile due to Fly.io requiring it?
Fly.io supports up to 8GB docker images
Cool. By the sounds of it, they needed the docker image in the first place because they chose fly.io. This guy is saying that Cloudflare wouldn't support it, but if they went the cloudflare route (which I'm not saying whether or not it's actually possible), they wouldn't have needed the docker image in the first place.
Correct. Which was actually already in my tldr

> TLDR: They could have done it cheaper, quicker and without adding DevOps to their workload with just migrating to Cloudflare.
