Cloudflare has launched Artifacts in private beta — a Git-compatible versioned storage system built for AI agents and developers. It allows programmatic creation of millions of Git repositories per namespace, forking from any remote, and connecting via standard Git clients or a REST/Workers API. Built on Durable Objects with a custom Git implementation written in Zig and compiled to WebAssembly (~100KB), it stores objects in SQLite and supports both Git protocol v1 and v2. Cloudflare also open-sourced ArtifactFS, a filesystem driver that mounts large Git repos quickly by doing a blobless clone and hydrating file contents lazily in the background. Pricing is $0.15 per 1,000 operations (first 10k free) and $0.50/GB-month (first 1GB free). Public beta is expected in early May 2026.
