Technical deep dives, product updates, and insights from the teams that are helping to build a better Internet.
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.
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.
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.
You can now use built-in error monitoring in Cloudflare Workers to group production failures and send stack traces, logs, traces, and application context directly to a coding agent to investigate further and open a pull request.
Cloudflare Registrar’s new search delivers fast, transparent results across 420+ extensions using Workers, Durable Objects, and WebSockets. Its expanded API and cf CLI also let agents search, register, and transfer domains.
Cloudflare’s AI Gateway, Ceramic.ai, Stocktwits, and more are using the Cloudflare Monetization Gateway today to charge agents for access to tokens, APIs, and MCP tools. U.S.-based sellers can now apply for access to the closed beta.
Pay Per Use is now in beta. AI companies report when they use publishers’ content, and Cloudflare handles billing, payouts, and reporting, so our customers are paid according to use.
AI Gateway User Insights now adds task, model, turn, and user categories to help teams understand AI adoption and make better model decisions. This is available free to AI Gateway users.
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.
We’re building CryptoLabe, an internal AI-powered tool that discovers cryptography across our codebase, surfaces dependencies, and helps us progress toward a full post-quantum migration by 2029. Here’s what we’ve learned so far.
Twelve years after launching Universal SSL, Cloudflare is applying to become a certificate authority. By combining an established root, an ACME-first approach, and Merkle Tree Certificates, we are building a post-quantum CA for the open web.
Cloudflare introduces an adaptive security framework connecting risk discovery, agent governance, runtime protection, and AI-powered response in a continuous learning loop.
As post-quantum signatures threaten to inflate TLS handshakes and certificate transparency logs, Merkle Tree Certificates offer a path to compact, auditable authentication. Cloudflare’s new certificate authority will support MTC issuance at scale.
We built a WAF tester that adapted each request based on what the WAF blocked or passed. This helped us explore variations that a fixed test might miss. We ran it across six attack categories on an authorized staging environment and discovered detection gaps worth fixing. Here’s how the loop worked, what got through, and what we did about it.
We are expanding access to Cloudforce One's Threat Events Platform to every Cloudflare account and introducing Threat Signals. Threat Signals automatically parses open-source threat reporting, extracts structured indicators, and connects threat context directly to your WAF rules.
Cloudflare has added visibility into post-quantum (PQ) encryption in TLS 1.3 directly into HTTP Analytics, Log Explorer, and Logpush. Learn how to make sure your domain is protected with PQ encryption.
Cloudflare learns the structure of your HTTP requests and identifies deviations. You can add a positive security layer that helps reduce attack surface as AI makes it easier for attackers to generate and vary payloads.
A sophisticated attacker with a quantum computer can exploit a protocol design flaw to downgrade post-quantum IPsec tunnels to classical crypto. We helped the IETF develop a transcript authentication extension to prevent these attacks.
We are releasing cf, our new command-line tool that mirrors the entire Cloudflare API and supports programmatic TypeScript configuration. We are also open-sourcing Forge, our internal SDK generator.
