Best for

The Workers runtime is not full Node.js; some Node libraries and Next.js features need an adapter.
Free plan caps CPU at 10 ms per invocation, and past 100,000 requests a day it returns error 1027 (or skips the Worker, if the route fails open).

The published scores, from −3 to +3, that decide when Cuely picks it. Method

+3global low latency. Code runs in Cloudflare's edge locations by default.
+3keep costs as low as possible. 100k free requests a day, then $5/month covers 10M requests, with no egress charges.
+2traffic comes in viral spikes. Static assets are free and unlimited, and Paid ($5/month) includes 10M requests, then $0.30 per million. On Free, requests past 100,000 a day get error 1027.
+2high volume. Per-request pricing stays low at high volume and there are no data transfer charges.
−1Next.js or React. Next.js runs through an adapter, not natively.
−2background jobs or long-running servers. Invocations are CPU-time limited; use Queues or Containers for long work.
