AWS vs Cloudflare for Startups in Bangladesh

Startups ask us the same question: should we start on AWS or Cloudflare? Both can host modern apps. The answer depends on what you are building, who is on the team, and how predictable your traffic is.

AWS offers the widest service catalog — RDS, Lambda, SQS, everything. Cloudflare offers Pages, Workers, R2, and D1 with a developer experience that feels lighter for many web-first products.

When Cloudflare fits

Marketing sites, Jamstack frontends, APIs at the edge, and global latency-sensitive reads often land well on Cloudflare Pages and Workers. Arvyo.com itself runs on Cloudflare Pages with Nuxt. Billing is straightforward and cold starts are less of a worry for many workloads.

Teams without dedicated DevOps benefit from fewer knobs to turn. You trade some AWS-specific services for speed to production.

When AWS still wins

Complex backends, legacy .NET or Java monoliths, heavy data pipelines, or compliance requirements that mandate specific AWS services still point to EC2, ECS, or EKS. We have deep experience migrating and optimising AWS estates — including moving off AWS when costs no longer make sense.

Hybrid is common: Cloudflare in front for CDN and DDoS, AWS behind for the database and workers.
