The decision, in plain words

For a solo builder at 9M reads/month and a $50.00/mo budget for the serverless cache slot, Cloudflare Workers KV leads at 89% fit and $15.00/mo. The two rules doing the work: budget fit (~$15/mo is 30% of your $50/mo budget); ecosystem maturity (established — our estimate from ecosystem age, docs and hiring pool).

Honest weak spot of the pick: proprietary edge kv api — not portable, and not a redis substitute.

Generated from the calculation above — every number traces to the sourced data; nothing here is written by an AI making things up.

Why Cloudflare Workers KV scores 89%

Budget fit (weight 30, our estimate) — ~$15/mo is 30% of your $50/mo budget+30
Exit cost (weight 4, our estimate) — Proprietary edge KV API — not portable, and not a Redis substitute-1.2
Ecosystem maturity (weight 8, our estimate) — established — our estimate from ecosystem age, docs and hiring pool+8
Free-tier runway (weight 10, our estimate) — Free tier exists (100K reads/day + 1K writes/day + 1GB (daily limits — demo scale)) — a cheap staging/dev lane even after you outgrow it+4

writes overage — 2M over 1M included × $5/M$10.00
Note — $5/mo Workers Paid includes 10M reads + 1M writes; then $0.50/M reads, $5/M writes; storage $0.50/GB$0
