Payload cms + mongodb + cloudinary

I want to make a small e-commerce website for free. I was planning to host it on vercel but they don't allow it ig. Any alternative. And is my stack good? I don't want rocket science stuff I just want this website ready in like 4 days. I'll get help with antigravity to build it faster.

I want to make it all free as I'm tired of paying Shopify all my money. I want a free alternative.

Please guide me if I'm doing something wrong.

Payload CMS Vs SonicJS CMS

I'm planning to build a website using the Astro framework and was thinking of using Payload as a CMS since I've tried it locally and thought it'll be good in terms of performance.

However, I saw SonicJS CMS somewhere on the internet, opened the website to see a performance comparison... and it looks like it aces it since it's built from scratch to be deployed on Cloudflare Workers.

One thing to note: Payload has a template to deploy on Cloudflare, and it'll cost ~$10... so that makes me rethink if the comparison represents actual values.

More context:

Website: Portfolio + Blog + Other static pages.

I'm keen to hear your expert thoughts on it... and forgive me if something is vague or unclear. I'm still learning.

I built an Images Plugin

So while it is available, I am still perfecting/testing this images plugin. But while using it I caught a showcase example I want to share.

In the video you can see an improperly formatted image, so using the block relationship I go and edit the images hotspot (focal + zoom). I check and can see the image has many image variants generated. Then on save that specific images placements on the site are atomically updated, and the now incorrect variants are deleted and jobs are created and queued to prewarm new images.

Features include but not limited to:

On Demand Image Variant Generation
Automatic Srcset Generation
Smart Image Prewarming
Blurhash & Webp Placeholders
Upload To Delivery Full Image Pipeline Handling

This image plugin is my attempt at "Perfect" image handling. Where its fully featured, perfectly optimized, and super simple to use. I think I'm getting close, but curious to hear what others think.

Payload 4 Experience

I know it’s way early but was wondering if anyone started testing the waters with it and your thoughts so far.
