The acquisition and integration of Kivera broadens the scope of Cloudflare’s SASE platform beyond just apps, incorporating increased cloud security through proactive configuration management of cloud services.

Great thermal solutions play a crucial role in hardware reliability and performance. Gen 12 servers have implemented an exhaustive thermal analysis to ensure optimal operations within a wide variety of temperature conditions and use cases. By implementing new design and control features for improved power efficiency on the compute nodes we also enabled the support of powerful accelerators to serve our customers.

Introducing Cloudflare’s free security.txt generator, empowering all users to easily create and manage their security.txt files. This feature enhances vulnerability disclosure processes, aligns with industry standards, and is integrated into the dashboard for seamless access. Strengthen your website's security today!

We’re pleased to announce that the litigation against Sable has finally concluded on terms that we believe send a strong message to patent trolls everywhere — if you bring meritless patent claims against Cloudflare, we will fight back and we will win.

Over the past couple of weeks, Cloudflare's DDoS protection systems have automatically and successfully mitigated multiple hyper-volumetric L3/4 DDoS attacks exceeding 3 billion packets per second (Bpps). Our systems also automatically mitigated multiple attacks exceeding 3 terabits per second (Tbps), with the largest ones exceeding 3.65 Tbps. The scale of these attacks is unprecedented.

On Monday, September 30, customers on Verizon’s mobile network in multiple cities across the United States reported experiencing a loss of connectivity. HTTP request traffic data from Verizon’s mobile ASN (AS6167) showed nominal declines across impacted cities.

Recapping all the big announcements made during 2024’s Birthday Week.

Today Cloudflare reaffirms its commitment to offering a robust Free service tier that continues to improve. We share why Free is a cornerstone of our business strategy, and how it contributes to building a better Internet.

This year for Cloudflare’s birthday, we’ve extended our AI Assistant capabilities to help you build new WAF rules, added new AI bot & crawler traffic insights to Radar, and given customers new AI bot blocking capabilities

The Cloudflare Radar Data Explorer provides a simple Web-based interface to build more complex API queries, including comparisons and filters, and visualize the results. The accompanying AI Assistant translates a user’s natural language statements or questions into the appropriate Radar API calls.

Empowering developers with the Dev Starter Pack and Workers Cohort #4: get free or discounted access to essential developer tools and meet the latest set of incredible startups building on Cloudflare.

Cloudflare strengthens its commitment to cybersecurity by joining CISA's "Secure by Design" pledge. In line with this commitment, we're enhancing our vulnerability disclosure policy by launching a VIP bug bounty program, giving top researchers early access to our products. Keep an eye out for future updates regarding Cloudflare's CISA pledge as we work together to shape a safer digital future.

We’ve been working on something new — a platform for running containers across Cloudflare’s network. We already use it in production, for AI inference and more. Today we want to share an early look at how it’s built, why we built it, and how we use it ourselves.

At Cloudflare, we believe in the power of open source. With Project Alexandria, our expanded open source program, we’re helping open source projects have a sustainable and scalable future, providing them with the tools and protection needed to thrive.

To celebrate Builder Day 2024, we’re shipping 18 updates inspired by direct feedback from developers building on Cloudflare. This includes new capabilities, like running evals with AI Gateway, beta products like Queues and Vectorize graduating to GA, massive speed improvements to KV and Workers AI, pricing simplifications, and bringing key features from Pages into Workers.

Speed is a critical factor that dictates Internet behavior. Every additional millisecond a user spends waiting for your web page to load results in them abandoning your website.

Traditional cloud storage is inherently slow because it is accessed over a network and must synchronize many clients. But what if we could instead put your application code deep into the storage layer, such that your code runs where the data is stored? Durable Objects with SQLite do just that.

With a new generation of data center accelerator hardware and using optimization techniques such as KV cache compression and speculative decoding, we’ve made large language model (LLM) inference lightning-fast on the Cloudflare Workers AI platform.

Whether you want the fastest inference at the edge, optimized AI workflows, or vector database-powered RAG, we’re excited to help you harness the full potential of AI and get started on building with Cloudflare.

Cloudflare’s Startup Program now offers up to $250,000 in credits for companies building on our Developer Platform. The program relaunch uses clear and predictable credits so that you can easily see how usage impacts future pricing.
