Cloudflare Gateway and Data Loss Prevention have inherited the flexibility and power of Cloudflare Workers through our full-stack integration with the Cloudflare Developer platform.
While adding MySQL support to Hyperdrive, we found a subtle protocol bug when caching query results. Here is how we tracked down a 0.001% rate error and made Hyperdrive MySQL generally available.
When strikes hit Yandex data centers, many assumed Russian bot operations went dark. Cloudflare data reveals that while search crawling stopped, malicious bots simply migrated to other networks.
A deep dive into how D1 architected its control plane to scale and manage millions of databases, while keeping data plane query operations at the edge. We share guiding principles on how to build on the Developer Platform effectively.
Our strategies to optimize our data pipeline throughput without compromising data quality.

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.
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 introduces an adaptive security framework connecting risk discovery, agent governance, runtime protection, and AI-powered response in a continuous learning loop.
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.
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.
We are expanding access to Cloudforce One's Threat Events Platform to every Cloudflare account and introducing Threat Signals. Threat Signals automatically parses open-source threat reporting, extracts structured indicators, and connects threat context directly to your WAF rules.
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.
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.
