Vercel Vs Cloudflare
any opinions in regard why to choose one over the other ?
as far as my comparison goes. i think they both provide the same CI/CD integration through Github
though cloudflare have DDOS protection from the first tier
while vercel seem to have more analytics (idk how much of it is relevant) and "basic ddos" protection on the first tier (20$/m)

I have not heard many good things about Vercel analytics. Very expensive for little data. Also, can't beat Cloudflares $5/month value (and free tier). I see Cloudflare as a more beginner friendly AWS. Vercel is just an upcharge on AWS.
I have a project (nuxt full-stack) that I tried to deploy in vercel and cloudflare with free tier in both cases and I have problem in cloudflare because it doesn't support prisma orm. In vercel it was pretty simple to deploy the same project.
My current idea is to host on Vercel and put it behind cloud flare to use the DDOS protection.( btw any guide for this ?)
As far as I am aware our app should not exceed the free tier in Vercel. My fear is only from DDos.
Also, I have never touched cloud flare so am not 100% sure if cloud flare is as well just push and it gets deployed. And what are those "more technical" points I should be aware of.
Interesting, how does cloud flare interfere with prisma? Maybe you forgot the generate schema command ?
not really, in their docs they say they dont support prisma and gives some solutions but I couldn't make it work
yeah, I already read those docs, but as I said didn¿t work for me u.u
hmm interestingly enough i have been using prisma on vercel without those things
^
am i ruining somethings that am not aware of ? xD
i basically just genereate the schema and use it right away
oh nvm they are just talking about specific databases
anyway probably am going to stick with vercel for deployment for now
but that was an intersting thing to look at
btw, vercel also worked straight away didn't need do anything
i guess then if the app grew enough, we should go to cloudflare
