Cloudflare vs Vercel 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.

Vercel Functions

Vercel Functions are serverless and edge compute runtimes deeply integrated with the Vercel frontend deployment platform, offering zero-config deployments for Next.js, SvelteKit, and other frameworks. With automatic region routing, streaming responses, and a generous free tier, they enable frontend teams to add backend logic without managing infrastructure.
