Blog post from LogRocket
Cloudflare, traditionally known for securing web infrastructures, is expanding its offerings by investing in developer platform solutions like Cloudflare Pages, which allows developers to deploy Jamstack applications efficiently. As the demand for headless and serverless deployments grows, Cloudflare Pages supports almost all frontend frameworks and recently launched full-stack capabilities in November 2021, integrating Cloudflare Workers to enable server-side rendering. This enhancement allows developers to deploy full-stack applications through a single git commit, seamlessly combining static and server-side rendered applications. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to creating and deploying a React app using Cloudflare Pages, emphasizing the setup of serverless functions through the addition of specific files in the project’s directory. Furthermore, it explains how to add custom domains, leverage Cloudflare's free SSL services, and manage the lifecycle of a project within the Cloudflare ecosystem.
