I've been struggling for hours trying to deploy my Next.js application to Cloudflare Workers and Pages, and it's been a total nightmare. I tried various libraries, including OpenNext, but nothing worked out. Eventually, I gave up and decided to deploy it to Vercel instead, and it worked on my first try. I'm just curious—what's the deal with Cloudflare? Why is it such a hassle compared to other platforms?

I switched to Railway after having so many issues with Cloudflare and haven’t regretted it since. It just seems like a more straightforward option.

Exactly! Vercel feels like home for Next.js. It just works seamlessly there. But when you’re trying Cloudflare, you have to deal with extra layers like adapters, such as OpenNext or managing edge runtimes. If you're opting for Cloudflare due to cost or performance, be ready to invest some time in setup.
