  Elie Steinbock ~ getinboxzero.com (@elie2222) reported 8 minutes ago

  Got a Vercel bill down from $4,200/mo to $120/mo. Some notes: - This is a free B2C product that went somewhat viral. - To get cost down I first optimised Vercel itself. Better caching. Move images to Hetzner / Cloudflare / AWS. - I also switched off server rendering. This product didn't need it. Moved everything to SWR. These changes were needed for better caching. - The big drop at the end is because I moved a lot to a Hono server on Hetzner. - I reused an existing Hetzner server so there were no extra costs there. But even if using a new one, the extra cost would have been only another ~$30/mo. - For B2B products it's usually not worth worrying about. This product had 15k+ signups in the last month. If you have thousands of paying customers, you're making 7 figures per year and a few k to Vercel isn't critical. This product was free, so it was painful to be burning dollars on it. - No need to waste money you don't need to, but the peace of mind with Vercel handling any scale, and you having zero DevOps is a major plus. - You can always make the adjustments I did. It's easy with AI. You're not locked in forever. - The switch I made to Hono was a simple one. It doesn't have load balancing. The server should hold up, but for a B2B SaaS I'd invest more time in a stable setup (which would also cost more time and money). - Vercel makes less sense for a B2C app that goes somewhat viral. It's still my go to every time, but need to be ready to move if you do see some real growth. - The product still uses Vercel. But many of GET requests now go to Hono. PS, this isn't for @inboxzero_ai which is prosumer/B2B focused and isn't free (other than 7 day free trial).

  Have you accidentally blocked yourself from AI search? OpenAI/Claude's searchbots get blocked more often than any other crawler, usually as a side effect of generic robots.txt templates, not intentional policy. >>The fix: -Open your robots.txt if you have one (go to yourdomain .com/robots.txt) -Remove any rules blocking OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, or GPTBot. Instead add: User-agent: * Allow: / -If you're using Cloudflare, check your bot management settings - set to 'Do not block (allow crawlers)' -If you're on a managed host, check their crawler settings too, many block non-Google bots by default If you're blocking those bots, you don't exist in AI search. Have you done this?

  Two changes to how I work with agents: 1. GitHub App so the agents manage issues directly. Keeps the repo clear of throwaway spec and todo files. 2. EmDash (Cloudflare's serverless WordPress successor) for internal docs. Runs on D1, just SQLite under the hood, so I can export the content and move it anywhere. No more docs sprawl.

  @thomas_ankcorn @SamNewby_ @thomas_ankcorn thanks for the help the issue is still unresolved (despite being closed) and both the assignee and assigner no longer appear to be at Cloudflare

  @MSU_NW_FANG @MaplestoryU @nexpacetime Also need to test WARP From CLoudflare.. that helps a lot. But most likely is his/her ISP. mine was disconencting a lot, they did reset my NAT, and assigned me a public IP address, and problems are gone.. so routing probably the problem.

  i don't buy the "ai search replaces Google" thesis. the data says the opposite is happening. Cloudflare Radar, may 2026: every ai chatbot — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity — sends 0.29% of global search referrals. Google sends 87.63%. 301-to-1. Anthropic's ClaudeBot crawls 11,122 pages for every human visit it returns vs Google's 5:1. Alphabet Q1 2026 filing: Google search revenue $60.4B, +19% yoy, up from +17% in Q4. ai overviews hit 2.5B monthly users; ai mode crossed 1B. alphabet says ai overviews monetize at rates "similar to traditional search" (june 2026 investor presentation). the kill-google thesis is showing up as negative signal in the actual p&l. Perplexity — the consensus poster child — killed its entire ad business in feb (Financial Times, The Verge). ads generated $20K against $34M revenue. exec quote: "a user would just start doubting everything." a company that can't make advertising work cannot disrupt a $60B/quarter advertising business. the consensus pusher worth countering specifically — @sarahdingwang at a16z, who led Exa's $250M Series C at $2.2B in may. her line: "agents will search the web more than humans this year. soon orders of magnitudes more." historical analog — Netscape 1994-98. the next platform that would reduce windows to "a poorly debugged set of device drivers." 80% share, record ipo. microsoft bundled IE for free. netscape sold to AOL for scrap. the company that captured the value was the one everyone thought netscape would displace — Google, founded 1998 — the services layer above the commodity. counter-position: ai search isn't replacing Google. Google is becoming ai search. standalone players are fighting netscape's war while the incumbent absorbs the tech into a surface 2.5B people already use. investor read: Exa at $2.2B and Perplexity at $22B are priced for a market-share takeover the referral data says isn't happening. the smarter bet is the layer that monetizes the ai-overview expansion Google is driving.

  A 28 year old Chinese engineer in Singapore bills 11 SaaS startups $63,400 a month for inference they think is running on AWS H100s. Forty NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano boards stacked inside three IKEA boxes on the floor. A used Quest 3 on the bed. A half empty can of Yeo's chrysanthemum tea on the windowsill, still cold. The whole farm draws less power than his electric kettle. Each Jetson runs Llama 3.3 70B through MLC LLM, quantized to 4 bit. Each one serves embeddings, classification, and draft outputs at $0.40 per million tokens. OpenAI charges $0.60 for the same. A Cloudflare worker rewrites the response headers to read like an AWS us-east-1 region. The startups never check. They never asked. pause at 0:22, the camera holds on the IKEA boxes for two seconds. Everyone saw moving boxes. Almost nobody saw the holes drilled in the back. They were not for shelf pegs. They were the GPU intake. $63,400 in. $0 OpenAI bill. Hardware paid for itself in 11 weeks. His dad still thinks he is studying for the GMAT. He still calls home every Sunday at 8 p.m. He still says he has not picked a school. He still wears the same Uniqlo hoodie in every video call. He still has not mentioned the Stripe dashboard. A data center has racks, cooling, redundancy. He has three IKEA boxes, a kettle, forty boards humming quieter than the AC.

  @EddCoates Of course cloudflare could never stop my automated scrapers, and now they're offering automated browsers that aren't even as good as mine, perhaps reasoning that they know what they can stop and can always choose to not stop themselves.

  Cloudflare $NET rolled out the Cloudflare One stack to give AI agents autonomous control over Zero Trust environments. The new skill library handles planning and deployment without requiring manual migration support.

  @EddCoates @mishuba All those people saying "use Cloudflare" cannot just check the ip and see that it is Cloudflare, unbelievable! Btw, what I do now is to block cloud providers by AS number, seems to help a little.

  The Dead Internet Theory was a conspiracy. The idea that the internet is no longer human. That bots and AI have quietly replaced real people. It started on anonymous message boards in 2019. Most people dismissed it. Stanford, Imperial College London, and the Internet Archive just measured it. They used the Wayback Machine to scan every new website published between 2022 and 2025. Thirty-three months of the internet, captured and classified. They applied one of the most advanced AI text detectors in the world to every page. 35.3% of all newly published websites were AI-generated or AI-assisted. 17.6% were completely AI-generated. No human involvement at all. In late 2022, before ChatGPT launched, that number was zero. In three years, more than a third of the new internet became synthetic. Not over decades. Not over a generation. Three years. Then they measured what that is doing to the internet itself. Semantic diversity is falling. The range of ideas, perspectives, and ways of saying things is narrowing. As AI content increases, the internet sounds more and more like one voice. Because it is one voice. The same models producing the same patterns across millions of pages. Positive sentiment is rising. Everything sounds upbeat. Polished. Confident. Helpful. The internet is getting friendlier while getting emptier. The tone improves as the substance disappears. The lead researcher, Jonáš Doležal at Imperial College London, said this to 404 Media: "I find the sheer speed of the AI takeover of the web quite staggering. After decades of humans shaping it, a significant portion of the internet has become defined by AI in just three years." Separately, Cloudflare reported that nearly a third of all internet traffic now comes from bots. Imperva reported that automated traffic surpassed human traffic for the first time in 2024. If you read my previous threads on Model Collapse and Retrieval Collapse, this is the final chapter. Model Collapse showed that AI trained on AI gets dumber. Retrieval Collapse showed that search engines indexing AI content get emptier. This paper shows the source of both problems. The internet itself is being replaced. The researchers are now working with the Internet Archive to build a live monitoring tool. A real-time tracker of how much of the internet is human and how much is not. The fact that we need a tool to measure how much of the internet is still real is the finding.

  @EddCoates Would/does Cloudflare help?

  @astuyve @boristane Not to get too into the weeds but the concern is where the trace context gets inherited and where we check the users tracing configuration. Before a request ever goes to the Workers runtime there's our FL2 (essentially the Cloudflare webserver) that actually accepts the http connection for various reasons we want that part that isn't entirely related to Workers to be aware of tracing so we can do cool things in the future. This entails creating a way for FL2 to fetch the user's tracing config (sampling, if they want to enable propogation, etc), passing that context through FL2, passing it to the Workers runtime, and then when the Worker does a fetch we need to pass it back through to FL2 so we can potentially attach the context header. None of this is strictly about just parsing that trace context header, more about threading configuration and ceoss-service communication.

  @David_mduw Spin it up, yes. Understand what you built, or what you may have built wrong, not so much. The issues for the non-technical user are going to be things like not understanding when they are trying to build on a server-less platform like Cloudflare, when in fact, they are prompting their way into a site that really needs server side processes. The LLM may or may not point this out to the user, but it will continue trying to build it anyway if the user keeps prompting.

  @CloudflareHelp @Cloudflare how do you expect we can contact support to gain access to my account, if you require to login to send a help request??? It's simple logic... I assume that your really don't care about helping your customers
