Cloudflare has launched a new Billable Usage API for accounts, giving developers and FinOps teams single-endpoint programmatic visibility into cost and usage across all self-serve products. Built around the FOCUS specification, track spend seamlessly alongside the rest of your cloud stack.
We break down the technical architecture behind our multi-stage vulnerability discovery harness and automated triage loop. Learn how we manage state controls, squash false positives through adversarial review, and route around LLM context limits.
Cloudflare Security Insights system now processes over 120 scans per second, providing frequent insights for all customers. By optimizing Kafka consumers, Postgres queries, and our API, we scaled our throughput 10x without adding hardware.
We investigated why firmware updates were causing our core servers to take four hours to reboot. By diving into UEFI data structures and iPXE automation, we eliminated unnecessary timeouts and cut boot times back down to minutes.
Here’s how we built Town Lake, Cloudflare's unified analytics platform, alongside Skipper, an internal AI agent running on top of it.
In recent weeks, we pointed Mythos and other security-focused LLMs at live code across critical parts of our infrastructure. We share what we observed, the models’ strengths and weaknesses, and what the work around them needs to look like before any of it can scale.
When a partitioning change to our petabyte-scale ClickHouse cluster caused critical billing jobs to stall, standard metrics showed no obvious errors. This post explores how we identified severe lock contention in ClickHouse's query planner and built upstream patches to fix it.
Panics in Rust Workers were historically fatal, poisoning the entire instance. By collaborating upstream on the wasm‑bindgen project, Rust Workers now support resilient critical error recovery, including panic unwinding using WebAssembly Exception Handling.
Cloudflare’s Gen 13 servers double our compute throughput by rethinking the balance between cache and cores. Moving to high-core-count AMD EPYC ™ Turin CPUs, we traded large L3 cache for raw compute density. By running our new Rust-based FL2 stack, we completely mitigated the latency penalty to unlock twice the performance.
Cloudflare's Gen 13 servers introduce AMD EPYC™ Turin 9965 processors and a transition to 100 GbE networking to meet growing traffic demands. In this technical deep dive, we explain the engineering rationale behind each major component selection.

We serve 7.6 billion challenges daily. Here’s how we used research, AAA accessibility standards, and a unified architecture to redesign the Internet’s most-seen user interface.
ecdysis is a Rust library enabling zero-downtime upgrades for network services. After five years protecting millions of connections at Cloudflare, it’s now open source.
We explore the fundamentals of Saltstack and how we use it at Cloudflare. We also explain how we built the infrastructure to reduce release delays due to Salt failures on the edge by over 5%.
We reduced Cloudflare Workers cold starts by 10x by optimistically routing to servers with already-loaded Workers. Learn how we did it here.
We’ve replaced the original core system in Cloudflare with a new modular Rust-based proxy, replacing NGINX.
We are further hardening Cloudflare Workers with the latest software and hardware features. We use defense-in-depth, including V8 sandboxes and the CPU's memory protection keys to keep your data safe.
Faced with a data-ingestion challenge at a massive scale, Cloudflare's Business Intelligence team built a new framework called Jetflow.
Cloudflare's Vectorize is now generally available, offering faster responses, lower pricing, a free tier, and supporting up to 5 million vectors.
