Streamlined lead capture has boosted web performance and made form handling more efficient
Currently, we are not using Cloudflare's security suite to the level much, as Cloudflare by default provides DDoS support; we are just using Cloudflare's DDoS support, which by default protects against denial-of-service attacks. I have used Cloudflare Workers' key-value pair for data storage. It has helped with data access efficiency, especially the data collection of the forms, as key-value pairs are easy to connect, and we are able to validate information much sooner, checking the mobile number. I assess the execution speed of Cloudflare Workers to be faster, at least providing a 30-40% increase compared to traditional server-based architectures, at a minimum. I have noticed time efficiency as the best return on investment with Cloudflare Workers; I am not seeing anything else, as time is the major one. We are planning to integrate WebAssembly with Cloudflare Workers, but we have not done it. I think we are good with Cloudflare Workers as we were having initial troubles with the ID integration, such as Visual Studio Code, but they have started adding some support when we start using their default packages, which can test locally as well as work in deployment; it is easier now, although the documentation can improve. I think the pricing of Cloudflare Workers is decent; it is good.

When using a Linux App Service or containerized App Services, the logging is not as good as when using the Windows version. The Linux App Service should be more user-friendly, focusing on logging, troubleshooting, and similar features. With Microsoft Azure App Service, it is more difficult with Linux or other container solutions because there are many options. When creating an App Service, you can create it as Linux or Windows. After that, you can choose some stack or use Docker to container. When using Linux with container, the logging functionality is not as robust.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare Workers is that the data is on the edge."
"The overall positive impact and benefits I have observed since starting to work with Cloudflare Workers have been good; easy testing, setting up, and testing and deployments are much simpler, and the performance is good with faster execution; it appears to be made for the use case that we want, so it is good."
"Overall, Cloudflare Workers is a very good solution."
"What I found most valuable in Microsoft Azure App Service is that it's a PaaS. I also like that it supports Docker and multiple frameworks so that you can work on Java, Ruby on Rails, PHP, and Python."
"The most beneficial aspect of Microsoft Azure App Service is its automated DevOps deployment, which includes configurations that ensure secure connections to key vault and database resources."
"We are able to do millions of things simultaneously."
"The solution can scale."
"Azure App Service is too easy to setup and appropriate for developers with no knowledge in infrastructure."
"The product's initial setup phase is fast, and creating a new component and starting is easy."
"The cost or price of Azure is lower than that of the on-premises version, which is why we might want to implement our solutions in Azure."
"The most valuable feature is that it's an ideal solution when it comes to lifting and shifting monolithic applications from on-premises to Azure Cloud."
 

Cons

"Monitoring needs improvement. It's a bit difficult to understand how many failures occur and manage logging effectively."
"In general, the security of the product could be improved with minimal latency due to its many points of presence."
"The stability and reliability of Cloudflare Workers have been good, except for a few incidents that happened recently where Cloudflare was down, causing some disturbances very lately, in the last few months."
"Having a surplus of tutorials from Microsoft, rather than relying solely on documentation or features from other sources like YouTube, can be beneficial."
"When using a Linux App Service or containerized App Services, the logging is not as good as when using the Windows version."
"It would be fantastic if Microsoft morphed after my exit service, removing it from subscriptions and moving it to different regions, especially for that service."
"Microsoft Azure App Service could improve by having better integration and connectivity with other platforms. The solution has good integration with other large companies' solutions but there are smaller service platforms companies where there could be integrated better."
"There is always room for improvement price-wise."
"The main area that requires improvement is the function apps and logic apps, specifically from a VNet integration standpoint."
"Sometimes we face problems, but those are technical problems in Microsoft, bugs or something doesn't work as expected, but that's normal."
"The solution is quite expensive. If you need more features, you need to pay for them."
