Hi,
I’m working with a node.js app and I can’t see a Framework preset dedicated to Node.js on Cloudflare Pages listed frameworks.
Please, does anybody tried this before ?

Cloudflare Pages is for static content (HTML, CSS, JS, images and other such files). It will not run a webserver such as Express, Koa or the likes. If you’re using those to serve static content then you can just remove that part and use Pages!
If you’re doing more dynamic content you can use Functions (Functions · Cloudflare Pages docs). It will run code on request (so still not a webserver in the conventional sense). This would allow for more dynamic content though especially with KV (Key Value storage) and Durable Objects (transactional data storage). Functions are natively integrated with Pages so are super easy to get up and running along your website.
Otherwise, a good old VPS or dedicated server from one of the many hosts out there is for you.
Functions are still in beta, so any feedback or bug reports are welcome.
If you’re not intending to run a webserver then there’s no need to select a preset, just set your build command to what it needs to be.
