Hey , so I am currently learning about cloudflare because vercel can be expensive , so I have considered 2,3 scenarios for comparison , like first one when the whole next app is static and some images are present , now both cf and vercel charge for image optimization , so which one would be better as both have good cdn but dx of vercel is better , and in second scenario where our app is dynamic,I think opennext adapter would work fine , which one do you all use btw ?

dx is virtually the same especially since cloudflare has started to pick up on the design team as well
use whichever is cheaper which is most likely cloudflare
vercel is great for static websites where you just need to deploy something for free, but as you get on the paid tier it's price really starts to pick up and begins to not be worth it
In most cases for dynamic apps you can actually buy a VPS from something like Hetzner and it will come out cheaper than Vercel, AWS and Cloudflare while handling the traffic well.
