@Timrdk @seraleev How do you attract organic traffic?

@seraleev This is why I moved away from pure paid traffic years ago. Building on organic reach and a loyal niche audience cuts out that brutal math. Doesn't scale as fast but the unit economics actually make sense.

Average margin on paid traffic: 40–60% App Store fee: 15–30% Refunds: 30% Team + infrastructure: Х% How are you supposed to be profitable???

@dok2001 @Cloudflare Still waiting for containers autoscale. That would be a game changer for me

Just over week until @Cloudflare next Innovation Week! What should we announce?

@bdainton @dok2001 @Cloudflare What is your experience with D1 migrations or DO sql storage migrations?

I’ve been building on @Cloudflare for the last 8 months. I can’t stop building, and I can't stop recommending it to others. Here's why. A Cloudflare building thread 🧵

@CFchangelog This is great, still waiting for containers autoscale

You can now SSH directly into running Containers using Wrangler. Debug processes or run one-off commands without restarting your instance. developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post…

@gordon_cassie @mitchellh @thdxr What are some of the few things?

@mitchellh @thdxr I went all in on Cloudflare with my new startup after 10 years on AWS and there are a few things AWS does much better. Overall the simplicity is very refreshing though.

it took us several days to get our new AWS accounts properly provisioned with the right capacity limits to deploy our stuff it's crazy how things have regressed here

@_ashleypeacock Containers autoscaling, increased D1 storage limit

What’s on your Cloudflare wishlist? Perhaps your wishes will get granted during Dev Week! For those new to Cloudflare, Dev Week is their annual announcement bonanza that typically happens in April

@kentcdodds @dok2001 This is great, how do you access R2 from the container? With workers it is straightforward via env bindings

Finally offloaded ffmpeg from my web server to a separate container. Here's why/what/how: kentcdodds.com/blog/offloadin…

@CloudflareDev How to access the free tier for trials

10¢, 10s, 10s across the board and a $0, because it's free for the first 24 hours!

@Cloudflare @PrunaAI How to test the free version? From the docs, the curl command that I run produces "Insufficient credit to run this model"

Generate 10-second videos with native audio in under 10 seconds. P-video by @PrunaAI is live on Cloudflare AI Gateway and it's free for the next 24 hours.

@rauchg This is great, I hope to hear more from Vercel. On the other hand, my experience with CF is that I can test every product they offer locally, what of vercel?

@steipete How does it take 45 seconds to start? The longest java server startup I have had was 8 seconds

We should make EnterpriseClaw just for the lolz. Java 21, Spring Boot, 14 abstract factory beans, 2GB Docker image, takes 45 seconds to start, AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryAgentClawResponseHandlerBeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessorImpl .java

@ipla03 KMP is the way, don't be swayed with flutter, hot reload is there

I’m thinking about choosing Dart instead of Kotlin for my cross platform mobile framework The only reason is support for hot reload, that in KMP is still far from happening on mobile I prefer Kotlin on every other aspect, but hot reload is a big one, and there is no clear roadmap for that Even tho the Kotlin team said they’re working on it What do you think?

@ipla03 I made this last year, and it has gotten better x.com/i/status/18820…

@RealEkwensu @EOEboh Does the API support images in your prompts?

@EOEboh I use only deepseek API. It is cheap and does the work for me. Loaded $10 today and it will last me for the rest of the year into Q2 next year

Why's no one talking about Deepseek anymore?

@sudo_overflow How did it go, is it performing well?

Installing MacOS on Proxmox because I refuse to buy a Mac Mini

@BraydenWilmoth @Cloudflare Makes sense I guess for user pasword pair, Workers KV would suffice due to no storage limit

If I have so many users that 10GB can't hold the user/pass pair... we're doing something right & then I'll migrate it to PlanetScale :) Each user gets their own 10GB of friends list data. Each conversation gets its own 10GB of data. That's a lot of friends & a lot of messages being exchanged. I doubt that limit will get hit.

I built an Instant Messenger application all on @Cloudflare. It took 1 day, 3 files, 4 resources... and it's ready to scale from 0 to millions. Worker → auth & routing D1 database → store user/pass User DO → user profile & friends Conversation DO → messages Blog in reply, but quick teaser here: cloudflare/actors library made much of this a breeze with persist properties, easy web socket connection management, and sending messages to all listeners. But what did each piece do? Auth & Routing (Worker + D1) All requests come through the Worker either authenticated or not. If unauthenticated, actions available are to login or signup. When authenticated then it can pass the request through to either of our Durable Objects (user or conversation) to establish a web socket connection. All users authentication information is stored in a D1 database (kept it all CF for this example). User Service (Durable Object) Our friend list view connects directly to our user Durable Object via web socket. When we update our status we send a message to our individual DO which then can broadcast via RPC to our friends DO's and determine if they are online to send them a web socket message for live updating. Here is where we also store our friend list in a SQLite database scoped to our user. Conversation Service (Durable Object) Every individual conversation between two users gets its own DO instance. It's sole responsibility is to store messages, send notifications (via sockets) when new messages are sent, and send a notification when a user starts typing so we can see the "Person is typing..." TLDR; Building apps for fun for the sake of reliving nostalgic childhood memories is... worth it.

@tanujnotes @kotlin Just implement it via expect/actual approach, very straightforward

@kotlin Awesome! Now all we need is a multiplatform webview and the adoption will triple. 😄

2025 was a standout year for Kotlin Multiplatform — now powering apps for millions worldwide. 📈 Adoption in top apps doubled YoY 🎨 81% of devs use Compose Multiplatform 🧰 Solid tooling on macOS, Windows & Linux ✅ Used in production at Google, Duolingo & Douyin Thread 🧵👇

@filippkowalski x.com/i/status/18820…

Ok. I've been strong advocate for Flutter, but I just built a simple app with animations natively for both Kotlin and Swift and I think I'll switch to KMP for cross platform logic and native UI. It does look much better with a lower effort

@SumitM_X Create a db trigger that updates counter on every delete or insert operation. Read the counter instead

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM orders; is slow on a 30 M row table. Ok but What faster alternative would you suggest ?
