Cloudflare wraps birthday week with 36 product drops

Cloudflare marked its 12th birthday last Tuesday with a week-long flurry of launches that ran from SIM cards to post-quantum encryption, hardware keys, and more. In total, the company pushed out 36 announcements, splitting them across themed days.

Security-first schedule

  • Monday: Kickoff of the initial set of releases.
  • Tuesday: Continued rollout with additional security tools.
  • Wednesday: Mid-week batch of announcements.
  • Thursday: Another day of product reveals.
  • Friday: Final set of standard announcements.

Bonus day for crypto

The volume of material was so large that Cloudflare added an extra “One More Thing” session, heavily focused on cryptography — covering not only client-to-network connections but also how Cloudflare itself reaches customer origins.

The Birthday Week 2022 agenda is now complete, but the company isn’t done with its Innovation Weeks for the year. A developer-focused event is planned next.
