Cloudflare vs Netlify Functions

Cloudflare

Cloudflare operates the world's largest edge network spanning 330+ cities with a famously generous free CDN tier that includes unmetered DDoS protection, a global anycast network, and the Workers serverless platform. With R2 object storage, AI inference, and a complete application-services portfolio, it has evolved from a CDN into the internet's front door.

Netlify Functions

Netlify Functions bundle serverless compute with Netlify's static hosting and git-based deployment workflow, offering both standard AWS Lambda-backed functions and faster Edge Functions running on Deno at the network edge. With a generous free tier, built-in form handling, and branch-based preview deployments, they enable JAMstack teams to ship full-stack features without an infrastructure team.
