Developer runs 5 production apps for $6/month on Cloudflare stack — vs ~$200 on Vercel + Supabase

Developer @ibocodes shared his production bill: 5 live apps cost just $6/month, all on Cloudflare — Workers for compute, D1 for SQL, R2 for storage (zero egress fees), KV for cache, Queues for jobs, and Cron Triggers for schedules.
He says the same setup on Vercel + Supabase + Upstash would run roughly $200/month — a 30x+ gap. His takeaway: most indie developers are overengineering their infrastructure.
