    We just shipped “Git for agents”. Turns out agents are really good at working with Git, but existing source control platforms weren’t built for the volume of commits we’re seeing now. Create tens of millions of repos. Use them from any Git client.

    Please don’t rate limit based on IP alone - there are so many reasons why this is a terrible idea. God forbid a few users from the same college try your website

    We’re affordable because we’re not building our platform on someone else’s cloud. No bait & switch.

    Cloudflare Workers are suspiciously cheap. They serve around 100K+ API requests daily with some logic. But I pay $0. Somebody definitely pays for that.

    SQL sucks but everything else we’ve tried somehow sucks more. (Did I sum this up correctly?)

    One of my favorite things that shipped today is the new @Cloudflare Agents website (agents.cloudflare.com) If you want to learn *why* you should build + ship AI Agents or MCP servers using the Agents SDK + Workers, then we've spelled it out:

    We (@Cloudflare) are going to deploy an automatic WAF rule that blocks requests w/ that can bypass Next.js auth middleware, including unpatched versions. You can also create a WAF rule right now on *any* plan by heading to <website> > Security > WAF > Create rule in the dash:

    Did you know that Cloudflare R2 does *not* charge for unauthorized access to your object storage buckets? Plus: buckets are private by default, TLS certs are issued as wildcards so that names can’t be discovered via CT logs, and egress via R2’s APIs is still free 😉

    We just snuck in an update to D1 that allows you to create up to 50,000 (yes, 50e3) databases: and it’ll be in the millions by GA. If you’re building the next big platform, this means that every user can have their own database, isolated in a way that traditional RDBMS’ can’t.

    We’re unlocking the ability for developers to build production-scale applications on D1! Now in open beta, D1 now offers higher per-database storage limits and the ability to create more databases! Read our blog to learn more bit.ly/46sldrZ

    You can also just come and work at Cloudflare where we don't care about this stuff 🙃 We've had interns and fresh grads from a huge range of schools and backgrounds. Lots of folks w/o degrees too.

    A leaked software engineering recruiter selection guideline is going viral. Founder and ex-L7 Facebook engineer said he believes strongly that it's real and that "top tier CS schools are the primary path to early career jobs [in software]"!

    Testing out another upcoming Cloudflare product: ingested 118 million records into R2 with automatic batching, formatting (NDJSON) and gzip compression... so I can query them using @duckdb efficiently. (bonus: didn't pay a cent for egress!)
    We're calling it Cloudflare Pipelines. You'll see hear more about this soon (tm)
