We celebrated our 16th birthday with 46 announcements across open source, post-quantum security, AI agents, and developer platform upgrades. Here’s a day-by-day roundup of everything we shipped.
A year after announcing our goal to hire 1,111 interns, more than 750 early-career builders have shipped real products across 48 teams at Cloudflare. From Birthday Week launches to post-quantum security, our interns prove that AI amplifies human potential instead of replacing it.
Streamline demonstrates how to build long-running, continuous video processing pipelines by pairing Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects with a containerized media engine.
A year after pledging to eliminate two-tier product access, Cloudflare has expanded Logpush, multi-account governance, and higher platform limits to all accounts. Here is an update on our progress, how we dogfood these tools internally, and what is coming next.
We’re announcing the closed beta of a self-serve Cloudflare OHTTP Gateway. We’re also renaming our Privacy Gateway to Cloudflare OHTTP Relay to better distinguish the two products.
Quick Tunnels now support email authentication. Add --allowed-mail to one cloudflared command, and only the addresses or domains you list can reach your local app. No Cloudflare account required on either side.
Fraudsters are increasingly using AI to bypass stateless security checks. Cloudflare's new Account Abuse Protection dashboard uses stateful analysis and edge-generated Hashed User IDs to help teams investigate and block account abuse.
Cloudflare is launching eight major updates that bring logs, traces, analytics, alerts, dashboards, querying, and telemetry export into one observability platform, with simpler and more predictable pricing.
Cloudflare now ranks as the fastest provider across 74% of the top 1,000 global networks. By incorporating background telemetry from Cloudflare Challenge Pages, we have expanded our real-user measurement scale while maintaining user privacy.
AI sovereignty is not a zero-sum game, but many governments now believe it is. Cloudflare's answer: more local open-source models, model-agnostic security tools, and a commitment to giving nations genuine choice.
Cloudflare OS gives everyone in your organization an agent workspace that knows how your company works and connects to its data and systems. We’re opening the waitlist for fully managed deployments that you’ll be able to launch in a few clicks.
Cloudflare K2 is a serverless event streaming service built directly on top of R2 object storage for high-scale data movement and long-term retention. By decoupling producers and consumers at the edge, K2 enables durable, ordered log streams without the operational overhead of traditional broker clusters.
Cloudflare is hosting a competition to see who will build the next Git platform for an era of AI agents. Artifacts is in open beta, with Workers bindings, data jurisdiction controls, and event subscriptions for repository changes.
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.

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’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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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’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.
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.
Cloudflare is open-sourcing the BEACON dataset, making billions of anonymized Real User Monitoring (RUM) performance records publicly available on Google BigQuery. Explore real-world Core Web Vitals, soft navigation metrics, and performance breakdowns across browsers and regions.
With the new experimental support for the Emscripten target in Rust Workers, many previously unsupported Rust libraries and applications can now be built and deployed directly to Cloudflare’s global Workers platform, including upcoming support for Tokio async.
Since joining Cloudflare, VoidZero has delivered more than 80 releases that drastically speed up JavaScript compilation, linting, and testing. From a 10x faster React compiler to Vite+ 1.0, here’s how we are building faster tools for developers and AI agents.
EmDash 1.0 is a stable, open source CMS built for Astro, with agent-friendly workflows, secure sandboxed plugins, and a decentralized registry that keeps publishers in control.
We’ve updated Kitesurf, our Workers-based browser for AI agents, with WebMCP support, improved DOM performance, and terminal-based rendering. With over 730,000 Web Platform subtests passing, agents can now navigate complex sites faster.
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.
