Cloudflare Pages
Cloudflare Pages is a static site hosting service provided by Cloudflare. It can be integrated with Cloudflare Workers to deliver dynamic content as well.
Features
Cloudflare Pages allows you to deploy content via command line or integrate with repositories like GitHub for content updates. What sets it apart from other services is that while being a CDN, content updates are reflected immediately.
When integrating with a repository, you can choose to deploy to the main site or keep it on a unique URL by specifying a branch. This enables team members to review sites that are still under development.
While Cloudflare Pages supports Next.js applications, note that some implementation adjustments are needed compared to Vercel's setup.
Usage
This site, MOONGIFT.dev, is also deployed on Cloudflare Pages. Although our site uses Docusaurus built with Node.js, it can be deployed without issues using the following command. The build folder contains the static files generated by Docusaurus.
npm run build && wrangler pages deploy build
Deployment is done using Wrangler (command line). You can set up CI/CD by running this command in GitHub Actions or similar services.
