Cloudflare recommends migrating from Pages to Workers

I recently deployed a few static websites on Cloudflare. I use AWS as a registrar, and I had to use Pages since Workers don't support "Custom domains outside Cloudflare zones" [1]. There's no way I can transfer the domain since I have subdomains tightly integrated with AWS services.

If anyone from Cloudflare sees this, are there plans to have Workers support external custom domains, or is this a fundamental limitation of Workers?

I recently ported an entire TS project from cloudflare workers to a django python app since cloudflare workers don't support choice of region/country when deploying workers.

In a world with compliances and regulations in pretty much any data you handle, you would think this would be basic. For comparison, AWS provided this choice from day one.

Cloudflare provides it but only on enterprise plan. This rules out pretty much all startups.

Although I think cloudflare workers combined with workers, R2 and D1 is a great tech stack with low infra overhead since everything is statically managed by cloudflare for you.
