How Moving From Vercel to Cloudflare Workers + Railway Cut Our Web Infrastructure Costs by 80%
We migrated our web stack from Vercel to Cloudflare Workers and Railway, replacing Next.js with a mix of TanStack Router, TanStack Start, and Hono based on what each workload actually needed. The result was roughly 80% lower infrastructure costs, rising to around 90% after filtering hostile automated traffic at the edge. Most of the migration work was carried out by AI coding agents, with engineers focused on architecture, constraints, review, and production verification.

How WebCatalog Uses APFS Clones to Cut Mac App Disk Usage by Up to 8x
The WebCatalog desktop app now uses APFS clones on macOS to dramatically reduce disk usage. By storing identical Electron and Photon data only once, additional apps typically add just 1–2 MB of physical storage instead of around 320 MB.
