I&amp;#x27;d like to try them out on some of my low-volume side-projects to see if I&amp;#x27;ll find them useful and like them, but $5 per month per site is more than I pay for the entire server for &lt;i&gt;all the sites combined&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t like being that guy who asks for free stuff, but a free tier would at least mean that I get to spend an hour or two trying the feature out. Not that $5 is a prohibitive cost, but Workers haven&amp;#x27;t sounded good enough to take my credit card out for.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Diving into Technical SEO Using Cloudflare Workers</title><url>https://blog.cloudflare.com/diving-into-technical-seo-cloudflare-workers/</url></story>
<instructions>Your goal is to analyze the following comment and estimate how highly it will be upvoted by the Hacker News community.</instructions><comment><author>krn</author><text>Am I right thinking, that there are no viable alterneratives to Cloudflare Workers on the market at the moment?&lt;p&gt;And if you decide to move from Cloudflare to another major CDN provider, you will have to change how your product works?&lt;p&gt;Because that&amp;#x27;s what StackOverflow and Reddit did. They are not using Cloudflare anymore.&lt;p&gt;So, does using Cloudflare Workers create a serious vendor lock-in, that makes changing a CDN provider much more costly in the future?&lt;p&gt;EDIT: I am thinking primarily about Fastly, as it&amp;#x27;s where the majority of large players move from Cloudflare. Also, about KeyCDN, which can be a much more cost-efficient alternative to the Cloudflare&amp;#x27;s Enterprise plan.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Diving into Technical SEO Using Cloudflare Workers</title><url>https://blog.cloudflare.com/diving-into-technical-seo-cloudflare-workers/</url></story>
