Powerful that we’ve got most the companies running the biggest scrapers to agree to this new standard. Identifying correctly the good bots makes stopping the bad bots easier.
Bots can start authenticating to Cloudflare using public key cryptography, preventing them from being spoofed and allowing origins to have confidence in their identity. cfl.re/40xTGVx
I mean, who's not using @Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, KV, R2, Queues and Worker's AI at this point, and what are you even doing with your life

Few places offer what Lisbon does: golden beaches, perfect weather, rich culture and walkable neighborhoods. Add @Cloudflare’s explosive growth and the pace of learning — and you've got something special. The people you’ll work with (like @LakeAustinBlvd and @elithrar) will…

Thanks so much for having me. I really enjoyed our conversation!
@zatlyn went from a small-town in Canada to co-founding a $60B+ company that powers 20% of the web. Her decision framework? "What's the worst that could happen?" That simple question led to @Cloudflare 🚀 New episode with Michelle in the latest She Leads is LIVE!
Any guesses as to what’s coming for @cloudflare Birthday Week this year? (just reviewed this doc from one of our teams and it’s looking GOOD) 🎉
1/2 Infra that works isn’t magic. It’s choices in building architecture, reliability & culture. @Cloudflare CTO @dok2001 joins us tomorrow July 3, at @southpkcommons India, for an AMA on 'Building Systems That Scale Trust', followed by a mixer. RSVP here: lu.ma/fsliavkp
Major publishers like @CondeNast support Cloudflare's permission-based AI crawling model. It's time for fair compensation! #PayPerCrawl #ContentIndependence cfl.re/4eEkwBm
Watch this space as we track who is a good (and bad) AI bot: goodaibots.com
This is huge, and much needed. Bot traffic vastly outnumbers human requests. Bots are not bad, but identifying the good ones is really challenging.

Big move by @Cloudflare → AI crawlers now need permission to scrape content. More control for content owners, more choice for teams, stronger open web. Lines up with what we’re building @webflow: opt-in AI, stronger SEO, better discovery. Let’s go 🙌🚀 webflow.com/blog/cloudflar…

An open Internet depends on a model that incentivizes great content to continue to be published. Proud to partner with some of the best publishers and AI services to launch a new model built that rewards high-quality material in a new AI era.

Cloudflare Containers are now available in public beta. Deploy simple, global, and programmable containers alongside your Workers: cfl.re/4kNjs06
Nearly every acquisition at @Cloudflare has led to the teams building a second product with equal or usually substantially greater impact than the original.
Big day for @Cloudflare as we launch our newest compute primitive, Containers! A bit of history: In 2020, we acquired S2 Remote Browser tech and faced the challenge of migrating it from AWS to our edge. To run a Chromium-based browser securely, we split our team: half focused on…
