MapleDeploy vs Cloudflare Workers
Full-stack hosting on dedicated Canadian infrastructure. Not edge functions with a 128 MB memory cap.
Cloudflare Workers is a serverless edge compute platform. Your code runs in lightweight V8 isolates across Cloudflare's global network, which is great for low-latency API endpoints and request routing. But Workers is not a general-purpose hosting platform. There is no persistent filesystem, no Docker support, and no way to guarantee your data stays in Canada. MapleDeploy gives you a dedicated VM in Toronto where you can deploy full-stack applications, databases, and anything that runs in a container.
Key differences
Full-stack, not edge functions
Workers runs JavaScript in V8 isolates with a 128 MB memory limit and no persistent filesystem. MapleDeploy gives you a dedicated VM where you deploy anything: backends, databases, background workers.
Canadian data sovereignty
Cloudflare is a US company. Workers execute at the nearest edge location with no way to pin execution or storage to Canada. MapleDeploy runs exclusively on Canadian infrastructure in Toronto.
Flat pricing
Workers charges per request, CPU time, and storage operation. MapleDeploy is a flat $45-695 CAD/month with no per-request fees.
