A fully programmable secure web gateway
Cloudflare Gateway and Data Loss Prevention have inherited the flexibility and power of Cloudflare Workers through our full-stack integration with the Cloudflare Developer platform.
Deploy with Void
Introducing Void: an open-source SDK, CLI, and self-hosted platform for building full-stack Vite apps and deploying them to Cloudflare.
Cloudflare and OpenAI: making AI discovery better for everyone
How Cloudflare and OpenAI are working together to help AI find useful content, keep up with changes, and make fewer wasted requests — making the experience better for users and website owners alike.
Yandex outage: Data shows that instead of going dark, malicious bots went on the move
When strikes hit Yandex data centers, many assumed Russian bot operations went dark. Cloudflare data reveals that while search crawling stopped, malicious bots simply migrated to other networks.
Inside Hyperdrive: How we solved a rare Hyperdrive MySQL caching bug
While adding MySQL support to Hyperdrive, we found a subtle protocol bug when caching query results. Here is how we tracked down a 0.001% rate error and made Hyperdrive MySQL generally available.
Under the hood, off the hot path: how D1 scales to millions of databases
A deep dive into how D1 architected its control plane to scale and manage millions of databases, while keeping data plane query operations at the edge. We share guiding principles on how to build on the Developer Platform effectively.
Rewinding the exponential: How we keep hardware usage down
Our strategies to optimize our data pipeline throughput without compromising data quality.
Filter, reshape, and redact logs before export with Transformers
Logpush now supports Transformers, allowing teams to filter, redact, and reshape log streams using SQL before export. Powered by Apache DataFusion and Apache Arrow, Transformers apply those changes directly to log data before it reaches the destination.
Introducing Clef-omni with full multimodality, plus a faster Clef and a cheaper Clef-flash
We are expanding the Clef decision model family with Clef-omni, natively processing audio, video, images, and text in a single pipeline. We’ve also lowered Clef-flash pricing and boosted Clef inference speeds by up to 2.0x.
Introducing on-demand CPU and memory profiling with flamegraphs for Workers and Durable Objects
On-demand CPU and memory profiling for Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects is now available. Now you can generate interactive flamegraphs directly in production to quickly track down memory leaks and performance bottlenecks.
Deno is joining Cloudflare
The Deno team is joining Cloudflare to radically simplify self-hosting Workers and Durable Objects so developers can use the same primitives in more places. For what this means and how it came about, here’s the story from Ryan Dahl, Senior Principal Engineer, and Kenton Varda, Distinguished Engineer.
Bridging technical depth and usability: The story behind Radar’s redesign
We redesigned Cloudflare Radar to make real-time global traffic and outage data accessible to a wider audience — including journalists, less technical researchers, and everyday users. By introducing an interactive map and standardized components, we simplified navigation while preserving technical depth.
Building an evidence-grounded agentic security operations harness on Cloudflare
Cloudflare Managed Defense uses a team of specialized AI agents built on Workers and global network telemetry to analyze security alerts. By separating deterministic evidence collection from model inference, the system delivers grounded recommendations to Managed Defense Analysts.
The keys to the Internet change on October 11. Are you ready?
On October 11, 2026, the DNS root switches to a new key-signing key (KSK-2024). Learn what this means for you, and how RFC 8509 trust anchor sentinels allow you to test whether your DNS resolver is ready for the rollover.
One year later: the power of 1.1.1.1 interns
A year after announcing our goal to hire 1,111 interns, more than 750 early-career builders have shipped real products across 48 teams at Cloudflare. From Birthday Week launches to post-quantum security, our interns prove that AI amplifies human potential instead of replacing it.
Everything we launched during Birthday Week 2026
We celebrated our 16th birthday with 46 announcements across open source, post-quantum security, AI agents, and developer platform upgrades. Here’s a day-by-day roundup of everything we shipped.
Streamline: custom video pipelines with Cloudflare Stream and Workers
Streamline demonstrates how to build long-running, continuous video processing pipelines by pairing Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects with a containerized media engine.
Introducing Web Search API via AI Gateway
Cloudflare AI Gateway now supports native web search API integration in partnership with Ceramic.ai, Exa, and Linkup. Developers can now inject real-time web context into model inference calls via AI Gateway, REST APIs, or Workers bindings.
Introducing Cloudflare Traces: follow requests through our entire platform
Cloudflare Traces shows how a request moves through security rules, transformations, cache, routing, Workers, and your origin, then follows it across services running anywhere in your stack.
8 major updates to Cloudflare Observability
Cloudflare is launching eight major updates that bring logs, traces, analytics, alerts, dashboards, querying, and telemetry export into one observability platform, with simpler and more predictable pricing.
Introducing Clef: our open-source decision models, and new RL fine-tuning platform
We are introducing Clef and Clef-flash, open-source decision models hosted on Workers AI for high-speed classification and agentic workflows. Also launching: a new reinforcement learning platform that allows developers to fine-tune decision models using their own data.
One year later: Sovereign AI and the fight for choice
AI sovereignty is not a zero-sum game, but many governments now believe it is. Cloudflare's answer: more local open-source models, model-agnostic security tools, and a commitment to giving nations genuine choice.
Introducing Workers KV Instant — powered by Quicksilver
Workers KV Instant delivers sub-2ms p99 read latencies and 250ms global replication across Cloudflare’s 300+ edge locations. KV Instant eliminates cold-read penalties and uses the familiar Workers KV API.
Introducing Cloudflare Basin: an open, serverless data platform, now generally available
Cloudflare Basin is built on Apache Iceberg and R2 Object Storage. With general availability, developers can ingest, manage, and query large datasets at scale without paying data egress fees.
Cloudflare Impact reaches $100 million in donations
This week, Cloudflare's Impact programs will reach $100 million in donated services. This milestone means that thousands of entities including journalists, civil society, state and local governments, election management bodies, and public schools are being protected from cyberattacks.
Cut your AI spend with AI Gateway's Auto Router
Cloudflare AI Gateway now features a model router that evaluates request complexity using an edge-deployed classifier to select the optimal model. By balancing expected output quality against token costs, organizations can dramatically cut AI spend while maintaining performance.
Cloudflare Containers, rebuilt to scale agent sandboxes
Cloudflare Containers now start 6x faster, let your agent choose each sandbox's image and instance type at runtime, and support filesystem snapshots in public beta, all controlled from a Durable Object.
The Internet has a second audience
More than half the traffic reaching sites on Cloudflare is now automated, and AI agents are the fastest-growing part of it. We're giving site owners the tools to see who's visiting, decide who gets in, and charge for access.
