Cloudflare as More Than DNS

Notes on thinking about Cloudflare Pages and Workers as a publishing platform, not only DNS.

Published June 3, 2026

Cloudflare starts as DNS in a lot of people’s heads. It is easy to leave it there.

But for static sites and small web projects, Pages and Workers can change the hosting conversation. Instead of thinking first about a traditional server or a managed hosting panel, a project can start as a repo, a build command, and a preview URL.

For AttaControl, the first deployment shape is simple:

npm run build

Static output goes to dist/, and Cloudflare can serve it after the repository is connected.

That does not mean every project needs to become a Worker. It means the lightweight path should stay lightweight until the site proves it needs more.
