Why Choose Clodo
⚡ Zero Cold Starts
Requests execute instantly at the edge. No 500ms+ delays like Lambda. Perfect for user-facing applications where latency kills conversion.
💰 60% Cost Reduction
$20 vs $300+ per month for equivalent workloads. No vendor lock-in concerns. Built on Cloudflare's trusted infrastructure.
🚀 5-Minute Setup
One command. Done. No IAM policies, VPC configurations, or deployment pipelines. Enterprise framework in minutes.
🌍 Global By Default
200+ data centers worldwide. Your app runs near every user automatically. No multi-region engineering.
📦 All-in-One
Workers compute + D1 database + KV storage + R2 object store. Everything integrated. No managing 5+ services.
👥 Multi-tenant Ready
Built-in isolation, namespace management, and tenant routing. LEGO-like architecture for SaaS.
When Lambda Might Be Better
To be fair, Lambda excels for:
- Heavy Compute: If you need 50+ seconds per request (training, video processing), Clodo has 30-second limit
- AWS-Specific Services: If you need SageMaker, Rekognition, etc., stay on AWS
- Compliance: If you need specific region isolation (GDPR in Germany only), Lambda offers more options

Migration Path
Moving from Lambda to Clodo is simple:
- Export Lambda code (Node.js/Python)
- Adapt to Cloudflare Workers API (usually <30 mins)
- Migrate data to D1 (Clodo's SQLite database)
- Deploy and monitor
- Save 60% on infrastructure costs
