Cloudflare
Making the Internet Faster and More Secure
What is Cloudflare?
Overview, core features, and developer capabilities
Cloudflare delivers global edge network infrastructure, DDoS protection, DNS, CDN, and developer compute via Cloudflare Workers and R2 object storage.
Target Use Cases
Global content delivery, DDoS and bot mitigation, edge serverless computing, zero-egress file storage, and DNS resolution.
Value Proposition & Deep Dive
The Problem It Solves
Web applications face global latency delays, sophisticated cyberattacks, DDoS flooding, and high egress bandwidth charges from hyperscalers.
The Solution
A global anycast network running in 300+ cities that terminates traffic close to users, inspects malicious packets, caches content, and executes serverless code.
What Makes It Unique
Zero egress fee object storage (R2), sub-millisecond edge compute with Workers (V8 isolates), and unmatched DDoS mitigation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions and technical details about Cloudflare
How do Cloudflare Workers differ from AWS Lambda?
Workers run inside V8 isolates rather than container VMs, eliminating cold starts and starting execution in single-digit milliseconds.
What is special about Cloudflare R2?
R2 is an S3-compatible object storage service that charges zero egress bandwidth fees, drastically reducing storage bills.
