Where the code runs

Where your code runs is a design decision, not an afterthought. For a small, AI-backed app growing out of a vibe-coded prototype, a serverless platform is a strong fit: you deploy code rather than manage a server, it costs nothing while idle, it scales up if the work takes off and it is cheap to start. Cloudflare Workers is one good example; Vercel or AWS Lambda are other common choices. It is not a universal answer though. These platforms run with execution-time and memory limits and a different runtime from a normal server, so heavy long-running compute or large in-memory state can fight the model. When that is your workload, a regular server or container may suit better.

Say it another way

Workers is a way to run your code on Cloudflare’s machines all over the world, instead of renting and managing a server yourself. You hand over the code, it runs close to your users, and you mostly pay for what you actually use.

Still growing. This part of the site comes out of real work: building, research, reading and studying for the Claude certification. Pages here fill in and sharpen over time. Subscribing is a good way to catch the updates as they land.
