Can I deploy my own Python Backend code to my domain?

[markvimmington]

I don’t know why it’s so hard to find answers to these questions despite googling and searching the docs… can someone please help me?
What I’ve done:
I bought a domain through cloudflare. That’s it, that’s all.
What I’m trying to do:
1 - Deploy my own front end and backend code.
2 - Have everything be https
3 - Control some sort of automated script running job like cron but for my backend code
4 - Be able to store a sqlite3 database (it’s just a file) so that my backend code can use it but no one else can see it or touch it.
5 - Be able to run my own backend scripts manually if I want.
Are these things possible?
I see that I need to do some sort of DNS record thing, but why isn’t that already populated from Cloudflare since I bought the domain from them?
This is all so very confusing to me. Thank you in advance!

1 - Deploy my own python backend code (and basic html/css/javascript frontend code).

You can deploy the front-end using Cloudflare pages.

2 - Have everything be https

That’s fine

@markvimmington

3 - Control some sort of automated script running job like cron but for my backend code

You can set up cron jobs using Cloudflare Workers Cron Tiggers.

4 - Be able to store a sqlite3 database (it’s just a file) so that my backend code can use it but no one else can see it or touch it.

Cloudflare D1 is available though currently in alpha

Cloudflare isn’t a hosting service (outside of Pages.) You would need a server of your own (or another service) to host the back-end.
