What is the BEST deployment option for a remix app, Fly, cloudflare, vercel, node with railway.app?
I found some problems while running (hot reloading) my remix app with cloudflare pages, it was slow, so I'm worried to continue with cloudflare..
Is there a best deployment option for remix?

I'm currently building an ecommerce app btw and I think remix will be a good choice for many different apps that I want to build. So I want to stick with a framework (Remix) and a deployment service (need help)

Best is so relative. I like vercel

Where to host your Remix app in 2023

Should you host your Remix app on a serverless provider like Vercel, Fastly, Netlify, Cloudflare, or AWS Lambda? Or a long-lived server like Fly, Render, Railway, or DigitalOcean? This guide will help you choose the right hosting option for your app.

It is relative. But, there might be an option that most Remix developers go for, it might be the easiest to deploy on, generous free tier, fast.
Before I really liked cloudflare because of edge and their kv store, but I wait too long for hot reloading on every change I do in my app, maybe someone else doesn't experience that with cloudflare

I think for at least this project railway is going to be a good idea since I already have my ecommerce (medusajs) backend on there.
Since it doesn't offer a cdn, can I add cloudflare cdn to it so I can cache pages?

If I’m deploying a full stack app I like anywhere I can run Node (eg fly) if I’m building a BFF app I like Cloudflare Pages

#

For an eCommerce, I would consider Shopify using Hydrogen deployed to Oxygen

Thanks Sergio, good idea.
For this website though I did not choose shopify.
I have already written a lot of code that's inspired by your implementation for sergiodxa.com and that's why I chose cloudflare pages at first, but now I'm facing very slow hot reloading while developing, do you have that problem?

No, but my website is really small

Alright.
My remix server acts as a BFF since I rely too much on other services and I access them through an API such as the CMS.
Do you think a BFF is worse on a node server such as Fly or Railway?
In Railway the cost is based on resource usage so I don't think there's the issue of paying for an idle server (not sure)
