Launching a Startup on Cloudflare Workers
Tejas Mehta shares his experience building cClip, a serverless application that allows users to transfer files between devices regardless of their operating system. The architecture for cClip integrates with various SaaS products such as Firebase, RevenueCat, and Stripe. One of the major challenges was creating clients for every single OS and platform out there, which Flutter helped address. The backend uses five main technologies: Backblaze B2, Firebase Auth, Firebase Database, RevenueCat, and Cloudflare Workers. Some of the biggest challenges faced during development included cross-platform subscriptions and file storage tracking. Overall, cClip demonstrates the potential for future application development where SaaS applications can be easily imported and integrated with bi-directional communication through events with Webhooks.
