Global edge network for security, performance, and reliability.
Cloudflare operates one of the world's largest edge networks, spanning 310+ cities across 120 countries. Originally known for DDoS protection and CDN services, Cloudflare has evolved into a full cloud platform with Workers (edge compute), Pages (static hosting), R2 (object storage), and D1 (edge database).
Cloudflare sits between your users and your origin server, providing caching, security, and optimization transparently. Its services include DNS, SSL, WAF (Web Application Firewall), bot protection, and DDoS mitigation — all running at the edge for minimal latency.
With Cloudflare Workers, developers can run JavaScript at the edge in 310+ locations, enabling applications with near-zero latency worldwide. This edge-first approach is ideal for global applications where performance matters.
We use Cloudflare for DNS management, CDN delivery, DDoS protection, and edge computing across virtually all our projects. Cloudflare's free tier provides essential security and performance improvements, and its Workers platform enables edge-first architectures.
Cloudflare Pages has become our go-to for hosting static and JAMstack sites, offering unlimited bandwidth on the free tier with blazing-fast global delivery.
Here is how businesses use this technology to solve real problems.
