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 Traces shows how a request moves through security rules, transformations, cache, routing, Workers, and your origin, then follows it across services running anywhere in your stack.

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.

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.

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.

Some of the world's leading organizations are building the future of non-profit work with Cloudflare.

"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë - good writing, but the protagonists are quite something. There's barely a likable character in the whole story - they are all either crazy, evil, stupid or a combination of these. It's also remarkable to consider how small the world of some people in those times was …

October is just around the corner, which means it’s time for some new desktop wallpapers! Designed by the community for the community, they’re here to brighten your screens, and maybe spark some creativity along the way.

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.
SGSharon Goldberg·September 29, 2026AI & ML 
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.

MGMari Galicer·September 29, 2026Security 
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.
VGVikram Grover·September 29, 2026AI & ML 
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.
