End-to-end testing for Cloudflare Workflows was challenging. We're introducing first-class support for Workflows in cloudflare:test, enabling full introspection, mocking, and isolated, reliable tests for your most complex applications.
This blog post focuses on realtime methods of counting in PostgreSQL. This includes a use case walkthrough. Read to know more.
LLMs are useful because they lower the threshold for experimentation. But we have to beware that we don't use them to try to shortcut the learning loop that's an essential part of a software developer's practice. We have seen this problem with tools like low-code platforms, they provide a rapid burst of initial development, but we cannot sustain them because they undermine the learning required fo
At Meta, we use invisible watermarking for a variety of content provenance use cases on our platforms. Invisible watermarking serves a number of use cases, including detecting AI-generated videos, verifying who posted a video first, and identifying the source and tools used to create a video. We’re sharing how we overcame the challenges of scaling […]
With component variants, design systems become more flexible, letting you reuse the same component while adapting its look or state with ease. In this article, Daniel Schwarz demonstrates how design tokens can be leveraged to manage components and their variations using Penpot, the open-source tool built for scalable, consistent design.
Last week, Google announced that Android apps selling digital goods to US customers can now process in-app payments using third-party payment providers. Here’s a closer look at our solutions for app developers.
The v0 Snowflake integration lets you build and deploy Next.js data applications with natural language. Your data stays secure in your Snowflake account.
Cloudflare used historical data to investigate reports of potential new firewall tests in Turkmenistan. Shifts in TCP resets/timeouts across ASNs corroborate large-scale network control system changes.
There are several Rust quizzes online, including one that’s literally called the “Unfair Rust Quiz” at https://this.quiz.is.fckn.gay/ , but when I was given the opportunity to record an episode of the Self-Directed Research podcast live on the main stage of EuroRust 2025 , I thought I’d come up with something special. The unfair rust quiz really deserves its name. It is best passed with a knowledg
GitHub’s annual month-long game jam is back for its 13th year! This November, make a game inspired by the theme WAVES—literal, digital, or emotional. 👋🏻 🌊 📡

Shuffle has always been one of Spotify’s most-used features, and also one of the most misunderstood. For years, listeners have debated whether Shuffle is “truly random,” often noticing patterns or repeated tracks that didn’t feel random enough.
A BGP “zombie” is essentially a route that has become stuck in the Default-Free Zone (DFZ) of the Internet, potentially due to a missed or lost prefix withdrawal. We’ll walk through some situations where BGP zombies are more likely to rise from the dead and wreak havoc.
HTTP/2 implementations often respond to suspected attacks by closing the connection with an ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM error code. Learn how a common pattern of using Go's HTTP/2 client can lead to unintended errors and the solution to avoiding them.
This blog describes the experience of PostgreSQL conference Europe, 2025, held in RIGA, Latvia. Read and learn more about the conference.
The new month is just around the corner, and that means: It’s time for some new desktop wallpapers! All of them are designed by the community for the community and can be downloaded for free. Enjoy!
BotID Deep Analysis is a sophisticated, invisible bot detection product. This article is about how BotID Deep Analysis adapted to a novel attack in real time, and successfully classified sessions that would have slipped through other services.
As AI agents change how the Internet is used, they create a challenge for security. We explore how Anonymous Credentials can rate limit agent traffic and block abuse without tracking users or compromising their privacy.
We propose an open registry format for Web Bot Auth to move beyond IP-based identity. This allows any origin to discover and verify cryptographic keys for bots, fostering a decentralized and more trustworthy ecosystem.
The world is adopting anonymous credentials for digital privacy, but these systems are vulnerable to quantum computers. This post explores the cryptographic challenges and promising research paths toward building new, quantum-resistant credentials from the ground up.
Figma has acquired Weavy, a platform that brings generative AI and professional editing tools into the open canvas.
Take a look inside our automated pipeline for rapid, rigorous evaluation for the GitHub MCP Server.
