Free 24/7 Hosting for your Apps & Bots (My Experience)
Hi guys, I discovered a way to run my web apps and Telegram bots for free 24/7 using the Cloudflare stack, and I wanted to share it. Note: This method is best for private usage or personal tools, not for apps with massive traffic. Also, always backup your code first! The Strategy: I use Cloudflare Pages for the frontend and Cloudflare Workers + KV for the backend. This keeps it fast, serverless, and free. How to ask AI to build it: If you are using an AI coding assistant, try these prompts. (Feel free to change the specific backend/frontend requirements below based on your own project needs): For Privacy: "Add a simple password system to my site so only I can access it." For Architecture: "Split my code into Frontend (Cloudflare Pages) and Backend (Cloudflare Workers + KV). Backend: Handle all API calls (like AI generation), environment variables, and complex logic here. Frontend: Use Local Storage for saving temporary data like images or settings. Connect the frontend and backend via API calls and give me a step-by-step guide to deploy it." For Telegram Bots: You only need a Cloudflare Worker (no frontend needed). Just ask the AI to set up a "Webhook" on the Worker for your bot. Sorry if this guide is simple, I'm new to dev but this works great for me. You can search for "Cloudflare Workers" to learn more!
