Technical deep dives, product updates, and insights from the teams that are helping to build a better Internet.
The Internet is changing more today than at any point since Cloudflare launched back on September 27, 2010. As automated traffic surpasses human activity, we reflect on the rise of AI agents, new creators, and how we can help build a fair, sustainable future for the web.
Misconfiguring Turnstile by skipping backend validation leaves sites exposed to bots. Turnstile Spin fixes incomplete setups by using your preferred AI coding agent to wire up server-side verification.
External security researchers at Accomplish identified a vulnerability in Cloudflare Containers that could expose residual disk data from previous workloads. We explain how the issue worked, how we investigated it, and the steps we took to remediate it.
Vary support is now available in Cache Rules on every plan. You can normalize known negotiation headers, pass exact values through to the origin when those small differences matter, or bypass cache when the variation is too unpredictable.
Worker Previews gives every branch its own URL, configuration, state, and observability, so you and your agents can test changes in parallel without affecting production.
Python Workers allow developers to run Python web frameworks and AI orchestration libraries natively in the Cloudflare Workers runtime. You can seamlessly integrate with Cloudflare's ecosystem including D1, R2, and Workers AI without writing any JavaScript glue code.
Cloudflare's global network is immense but not limitless. As we look for small ways to trim our resource usage, we sometimes get lucky and we can cut significantly more. Here’s how we reduced one of our Pingora-based service's RAM usage with statistics.
A modern storefront can look healthy while malicious JavaScript quietly siphons revenue, hijacks clicks, or rewrites analytics. See how Cloudflare's machine learning models surface evasive client-side attacks for analyst investigation.
Cloudflare is giving site owners a way to stay discoverable while disallowing AI training. New controls and an Accountable designation establish a shared model with Apple, Google, and Microsoft.
You can now scope access to individual Workers and assign narrower Developer Platform roles, so teammates, CI tokens, and agents get only the access they need to debug, deploy, or monitor safely.
Cloudflare CASB policies introduce a native automation engine built directly on the Cloudflare developer platform to remediate SaaS risks automatically. Security teams can now design event-driven logic to revoke risky file shares and send webhooks without manual intervention.
1.1.1.1 now validates DNSSEC signatures using NIST’s post-quantum ML-DSA-44 algorithm. Here is how we manage 2,420-byte signatures and downgrade risks at scale.
Workers now enables Node.js compatibility by default, supports applications up to 64 mebibytes, and adds a URL-based module registry with import.meta, lazy compilation, shared code caches, and clearer errors.
Automatic Key Exchange probes TLS 1.3-capable customer origins to learn which key agreement algorithms they support. We then lead with the most secure algorithm when connecting to the origin, preferring post-quantum connections wherever the origin supports it.
Use production traffic and security signals to prioritize findings, prepare edge mitigations when safe, and propose code patches. By combining WAF data with OpenAI Daybreak models, Vulnerability Discovery and Remediation helps teams identify and patch the most critical threats first.
Could we get more cache space with the same hardware? We prototyped compression inside Cloudflare's cache to find out.
Bot operators have historically had the economic advantage, bypassing static, deterministic detection rules with cheap proxies and retooling. Cloudflare's new Adaptive Intelligence engine flips this dynamic by autonomously learning from the meta-signals of live traffic and deploying disposable rules, making automated attacks too expensive to sustain.
Bot operators now have a home in the Cloudflare dashboard to manage submissions. This update adds submission status tracking, submission editing, and a behavior model so operators can accurately declare how their bots use content.
Five Rust-level memory optimizations to the DNS cache layout of Big Pineapple cut per-entry memory by 56%, freeing approximately 100 TB of memory across Cloudflare's fleet.
