Cloudflare

CDN and edge platform

Cloudflare combines DNS, CDN, attack protection and edge hosting, so it can serve a fast storefront or company website without a server of your own.

What is Cloudflare?

Cloudflare is a global network that acts as an intermediary between visitors and a website's server, handling DNS, CDN caching, SSL certificates and protection against attacks. It also runs code at the network edge (Workers, Pages), so it can host an entire frontend along with lightweight server functions. The same ecosystem includes Turnstile, a form check that filters out bots without a traditional CAPTCHA.

How we use it at Koda Plus

We host storefronts on Cloudflare or Vercel, with the backend and database running separately. Cloudflare is part of the stack behind the web application for insulation company Wekert and the e-commerce store for a body armour manufacturer. It also runs koda.plus itself: an Astro site with the Cloudflare adapter and a contact form handled by a server function, checked with Turnstile and delivered through Resend.

When it makes sense

  • Your website or storefront needs to load quickly for visitors in different countries
  • The frontend should run without a server for you to maintain
  • Forms need protection from bots without an irritating CAPTCHA
  • You want DNS, SSL certificates and domain protection managed in one dashboard

Frequently asked questions
Cloudflare

  • Is Cloudflare a hosting provider?

    Among other things. Cloudflare is best known for DNS, CDN and website protection, but it also hosts static sites and applications running at the network edge (Pages, Workers). Applications that need an always-on Node.js server usually run with another provider, with Cloudflare handling the traffic in front of them.

  • Cloudflare or Vercel – which should I choose?

    Both host modern frontends well, and both create previews of changes from repository branches. Vercel develops Next.js and supports its new features without extra adapters, while Cloudflare ties hosting to DNS, CDN and domain protection in a single account. The choice comes down to your framework, where your domain already lives and the kind of server functions you need.

  • What is Cloudflare Turnstile?

    It is a CAPTCHA alternative that checks in the background whether a human is submitting a form, usually without typing characters or clicking images. The browser receives a token, which your server verifies with Cloudflare before accepting the submission. Turnstile also works on sites hosted outside Cloudflare.
