Perhaps I'll take some heat for being enthusiastic about a proprietary thing that's only implemented by one vendor so far, but I now think that Cloudflare Workers (https://workers.cloudflare.com/) is fundamentally the right way to develop, operate, and pay for web application backends on the public Internet.

@matt Interesting. I do like the idea, I must admit. Particularly for small backend functions accompanying a mostly static site.
@matt Or to put it another way: I become less enamoured with the traditional database-backed monolith by the week.
