# Three million daily requests on my Rust server

*18 September 2026 · Rust, Infrastructure, Performance, Cloudflare*

The custom Rust server handled 3 million requests yesterday from one project. This month exceeds 12 million. At this rate, it could outperform Cloudflare Workers pricing.

Pricing the worker at $0.30 per million yields $3.6. One write per request costs $1 per million, or $12. The total is $15.6, excluding CPU use, SQLite storage, and read counts.

This outcome is exciting, and I want to know precisely how much I am saving. I will keep you updated.
