How they use Cloudflare

The Dealcrane team knew of Cloudflare’s reputation for providing DNS, generous free plans, and DDoS protection. When they were ready to start building Dealcrane, they decided to use Cloudflare’s Developer Platform to help them build a reliable and robust process to deliver fresh deals to users.

The web app is built using SvelteKit and deployed globally to Cloudflare Workers with product images and data being delivered from R2. The serverless nature of the developer platform helps them not worry about deploying to multiple regions, as their code is automatically deployed to every Cloudflare global location. Dealcrane also uses Cloudflare’s AI offerings for product classification. Workers AI is used for open-source LLMs and embedding models that identifies, classifies, and presents deals to users. To eliminate backend bottlenecks, Dealcrane is looking to explore additional Cloudflare products such as Workflows and Vectorize.

Why Cloudflare?
“We love that the deployment process is lightning fast, and rolling out updates for our web app takes about 10 seconds. We don’t have to worry about managing infrastructure. Cloudflare also provides cost-effective products that scale with our needs much better compared with other cloud providers.”
