Cloudflare

Cloudflare operates one of the world's largest cloud networks, spanning over 300 cities in more than 100 countries. The platform provides a comprehensive suite of services including content delivery (CDN), DDoS protection, web application firewall (WAF), DNS management, and SSL/TLS encryption to secure and accelerate internet properties.

For developers, Cloudflare offers Workers for serverless computing at the edge, Pages for static site hosting, R2 for object storage, D1 for serverless databases, and KV for key-value storage. These tools enable developers to build and deploy applications that run close to users globally with minimal latency.

Cloudflare Zero Trust replaces traditional VPNs with a modern security architecture that verifies every request regardless of where it originates. The platform includes Access for identity-aware proxy, Gateway for secure web gateway, and Browser Isolation for remote browser technology.

A key differentiator is that all Cloudflare tiers, including the free plan, include unlimited bandwidth and unmetered DDoS protection. Enterprise customers receive custom SLAs, dedicated support engineers, and advanced analytics for traffic patterns and security threats.
