Cloudflare

One platform for your apps, agents, and workforce.

Visit Cloudflare

Cloudflare is a connectivity cloud that combines network services, security, performance, and full-stack development tools on a single global network spanning 335+ cities. It addresses the need to build, secure, and scale applications without managing infrastructure, running security, connectivity, and code close to users and data.

Its product catalog spans compute (Workers, Pages, Containers, Durable Objects, Workflows), storage (R2, KV, D1, Queues, Hyperdrive), AI (Agents, AI Gateway, Vectorize, Workers AI), media (Stream, Images, RealtimeKit), security (DDoS Protection, WAF, Bot Management, SSL, Turnstile, Rate Limiting), network (DNS, CDN, Load Balancing, Argo Smart Routing), and SASE/Zero Trust (Access, Gateway, CASB, Data Loss Prevention, Browser Isolation, WAN). It integrates with Git, GitHub Actions, VS Code, and common frameworks.

Cloudflare serves developers, startups, small businesses, and large enterprises. Network & CDN plans are packaged as Free, Pro, Business, and Contract tiers, with paid add-ons for services like Load Balancing, Stream, and Log Explorer. Compute and storage products include a free tier for Workers, with usage-based pricing available for some services.
