- No cold starts, and you pay for CPU time, not for time spent waiting on network calls

Details
Carrd lets you build simple, responsive one-page sites in minutes. Perfect for landing pages, portfolios, and link-in-bio pages.
Built by solo founder AJ, bootstrapped to $1.5M ARR with over 3.3M sites created. The definition of doing one thing well.
Workers runs your code in Cloudflare’s data centres in more than 330 cities, close to your users. It handles APIs, full-stack apps built with React, Vue or Next.js, scheduled jobs and webhooks, and it connects to Cloudflare’s databases, storage and queues through bindings.
Cloudflare’s documentation for Pages now says to start new projects on Workers, and calls Workers its primary platform for building applications.
The paid plan is $5 a month plus any usage beyond the included amounts, and requests for static files are never charged. Check that your dependencies run on the Workers runtime before you commit, since it is not a full Node.js environment.
