Building a Freelance Platform on Cloudflare Workers: The Good, The Bad, and The Pyodide
Six months ago I sat down to build aiomniu — a freelance marketplace for AI and tech projects. The constraints were simple: zero budget, fast load times, and a backend I could write in Python.
The stack I ended up with: Cloudflare Workers + Pyodide + FastAPI on the backend, Next.js 15 + OpenNext on the frontend, and Cloudflare D1 for the database.
This is what I learned — the parts that worked, the parts that broke, and the parts I'm still not sure were worth it.
Why Cloudflare Workers?
