Cloudflare decision guides
Start with the job, not the product page. These are my practical answers when several Cloudflare products could fit the same task.
Where do I deploy a new site?
Pages or Workers for a new site
Start new projects on Workers with static assets. Pages still works and nothing is forcing a migration, but it is no longer where the platform is going.

Is D1 ready for a system of record?
Putting D1 in production
Not for a system of record. The size cap and the single writer are architectural, not roadmap items, and the transient errors are routine rather than exceptional. Use Postgres or MySQL behind Hyperdrive.

Where do I put state?
Storing data on Cloudflare
Use KV for configuration, R2 for objects, and Postgres or MySQL behind Hyperdrive for records that matter. Keep D1 for prototypes.
