Summary

The Speedchecker team successfully moved their API gateway to Cloudflare Workers and reduced costs by a factor of 10. They previously used the open-source Kong API gateway, which had limitations in scalability and replication setup complexity. By switching to Cloudflare Workers, they benefited from its per request pricing, powerful DDOS protection, and compatibility with their existing infrastructure. The migration process was seamless, requiring no changes to users' API code or authentication methods. Overall, the team found Cloudflare Workers to be a cost-effective and reliable alternative to commercial API gateway solutions for companies with existing codebases for authentication and analytics.
