    Every Cloudflare feature, available to everyone

    Cloudflare announces a major shift in its product strategy, making nearly all enterprise-only features available to customers on any plan without requiring sales calls or contracts. The rollout begins with Single Sign-On (SSO) for the dashboard, which is now accessible to all users. This change aims to democratize access to advanced security and performance tools, removing the traditional two-tiered system that restricted powerful features to large organizations. Future product releases will follow this self-service model from launch.

    Cloudflare just got faster and more secure, powered by Rust

    Cloudflare has replaced their core NGINX-based proxy system (FL1) with a new Rust-based modular proxy (FL2) built on their Oxy framework. The migration delivers a 25% performance boost with 10ms faster median response times, uses less than half the CPU and memory, and provides better security through Rust's memory safety guarantees. The new modular architecture allows faster product development, graceful restarts without dropping connections, and eliminates the incremental performance cost of adding new features that plagued the legacy system.

    Cap'n Web: a new RPC system for browsers and web servers

    Cap'n Web is a new open-source RPC protocol built in TypeScript that brings object-capability features to web development. Unlike traditional RPC systems, it requires no schemas or boilerplate, supports bidirectional calling, function passing by reference, and promise pipelining. The protocol works over HTTP, WebSocket, and postMessage, compresses to under 10kB, and enables complex interactions like authentication patterns and array operations in single network round trips. It aims to solve GraphQL's waterfall problem while maintaining familiar JavaScript programming patterns.

    Cloudflare and Vercel can't stop fighting

    A detailed analysis of the ongoing public feud between Cloudflare and Vercel, examining the technical and business reasons behind their conflict. The dispute centers around edge computing reliability issues, where Cloudflare's free and pro tiers route 10-70% of US traffic to Europe during peak hours, causing significant latency problems for Vercel's customers. Additionally, Cloudflare's DDoS protection layer interferes with Vercel's own security systems by stripping important traffic data. The conflict escalated from technical incompatibilities to personal attacks between executives, with both companies engaging in bad faith public communications that damage their professional reputations.
