This still makes no sense at all. Self hosting means running a program on your own machine instead of on a cloud platform such as cloudfalre.

There is an ongoing debate in the selfhosting subreddits if it's self hosted if it's not on your hardware.
Seems yes for rented servers like hetzner but gets more heated when it's about "serverless"

#64This isn't directly related to the post, but it's a CMS related question: does anybody know of a simple "static file" CMS that also lets you deploy server side javascript functions? It's a weird use case, so I suspect there may not be. I've solved it by using a static site generator and a nginx reverse proxy to a node server - but it's a lot of complexity for my use case (using stripe to sell stuff, but stripe checko…
Isn't this what serverless functions are for? Vercel, Netlify, Firebase would suit your needs.

Netlify? Edge functions and functions may be what you're after https://www.netlify.com/products/#netlify-edge-functions
Oh very cool! Yeah, Netlify Edge functions are pretty much exactly what I'm after... except I was hoping for something self-hosted.

Cloudflare Pages works well as a serverless option for this, and without the separate deployment for functions, so no CORS required. Couldn't recommend more.

Maybe don't focus so much on the static site part, and have a very slightly dynamic site where the majority of your content is just paths that lead to stuff in /static. So rather than trying to bolt a dynamic bit to static hosting, making the simplest site with something like server.js

So what do you want to call it then? "Running on a lower level general compute abstraction with provided networking infrastructure" instead of self-hosted?

Cloudflare's free tiers are hard-free; they stop working if you exceed the free tier usage (at least for compute; storage is different). Pages is essentially totally free. R2 is within the same pricing magnitude as S3. D1 is a very new product and afaik is still in beta and doesn't have production pricing yet; so be weary there. Zero Trust is less usage and more per-user, I think $7/mo/user.
Thanks! That's very helpful and sounds unlikely to get out of control (short of hosting a wildly popular video)
R2 has free egress meaning you don’t pay for bandwidth when serving your popular video
