We used Cloudflare’s Developer Platform and Durable Objects to build authentication and a WebSockets API that developers can use to call AI Gateway, enabling continuous communication over a single, persistent connection.

Post-acquisition, we migrated Baselime from AWS to the Cloudflare Developer Platform and in the process, we improved query times, simplified data ingestion, and now handle far more events, all while cutting costs. Here’s how we built a modern, high-performing observability platform on Cloudflare’s network.

Workers Builds, an integrated CI/CD pipeline for the Workers platform, recently launched in open beta. We walk through how we built this product on Cloudflare’s Developer Platform.

Hyperdrive (Cloudflare’s globally distributed SQL connection pooler and cache) recently added support for directing database traffic from Workers across Cloudflare Tunnels. We dive deep on what it took to add this feature.

Cloudflare Workflows is now in open beta! Workflows allows you to build reliable, repeatable, long-lived multi-step applications that can automatically retry, persist state, and scale out. Read on to learn how Workflows works, how we built it on top of Durable Objects, and how you can deploy your first Workflows application.

Learn how we built Cloudflare Queues using our own Developer Platform and how it evolved to a geographically-distributed, horizontally-scalable architecture built on Durable Objects. Our new architecture supports over 10x more throughput and over 3x lower latency compared to the previous version.

How we scaled AI Gateway to handle and store billions of requests, using Cloudflare Workers, D1, Durable Objects, and R2.

Vectorize was recently upgraded and made generally available, now supporting indexes of up to 5 million vectors, delivering faster responses, with lower pricing and a free tier. This post dives deep into how we built Vectorize to enable these improvements.

We realized that we need a way to automatically heal our platform from an operations perspective, and designed and built a workflow orchestration platform to provide these self-healing capabilities across our global network. We explore how this has helped us to reduce the impact on our customers due to operational issues, and the rich variety of similar problems it has empowered us to solve.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
