    Glitch Truth (@glitchtruth) reported

    @jasonlk Datadog's $1B quarter is AI infra spend leaking into observability. Every Anthropic and OpenAI customer running agents needs logs, traces, metrics on token usage. Net retention back to 115%+. Cloudflare same story with Workers AI. The reaccel is real but it's one trade: AI workloads need monitoring.

    @jakebarlo @CloudflareDev @rauchg Cloudflare has a good track record. They keep a sizable portion of the Internet reasonably secure. The track record of Vercel is at most reactive. They fix stuff when others complain.

    @playerTwoQ I'd expect cloudflare to go up with all the new vibecodes apps. Is software creation already slowing down?

  • itsankitjaiswal

    Cloudflare just laid off 1,100 people. That's 20% of their entire company. Not performance issues. Not cost-cutting. Their exact words: "agentic AI-first operating model." AI agents are now doing the jobs. The humans got the memo. These were the jobs everyone said were safe.

  • arimlogs
    Arim (@arimlogs) reported

    Cloudflare joins the growing list of AI fueled layoffs. The company just reported strong Q1 2026 numbers: • Revenue up 34% YoY to $639.8M • Free cash flow reached $84.1M • Non-GAAP net income rose to $94 M But the real headline is the layoffs that were announced with it. Cloudflare announced a transition toward an “agentic AI-first operating model” and plans to reduce nearly 20% of its workforce, around 1,100 employees. (Stock Titan) The trend is pretty evident on where modern organizations are heading. Companies are no longer asking: “How can AI help employees?” They are asking: “How should the company itself be redesigned around AI?” Operations. Teams. Decision-making. Productivity. Cost structures. Even leadership models. All roles are taken being handed over to AI.

    @GergelyOrosz I feel the revenue issue is a business issue.. I feel so many of the layoffs (block / coinbase / Atlassian/ Cloudflare) are because the economic value of what is shipped is not compatible with staffing model..

    @CNBC tech stocks offering best value in years while the AI 50 list is too crowded for one list and Cloudflare cuts 1100 is the market where the winners create the losers at the same speed. best value if you pick right worst timing if you pick wrong. same sector opposite outcomes

  • txgermanbre
    breanna 🇺🇸🇩🇪 (@txgermanbre) reported

    Which creates Cloudflare’s structural problem: their suppliers are hyperscalers and their competitors are also hyperscalers. When compute gets scarce, AWS/Azure/GCP prioritize their own AI products first. Meanwhile Cloudflare still depends on them for upstream capacity. That is an ugly position to be in structurally.

    Cloudflare $NET | Q1 2026 Earnings Review SUMMARY Numbers beat consensus, full-year guidance was raised, 20% of the workforce was cut as part of a restructuring — and the stock closed down 18%. Not a classic guidance reaction; the difficulty of pricing a company transforming into a different company before your eyes. FİNANCİALS Revenue $639.8M, up 34% YoY — beating consensus by $18M. Non-GAAP EPS $0.25 ($0.23 expected). Gross margin slipped from 75.9% to 71.2%; not structural deterioration but a compositional shift — lower-margin Workers products are scaling faster, and network costs were reclassified from marketing to COGS. The real signal is in cash. Free cash flow hit $84M, 13% of revenue (vs. 11% a year ago). $4.16 billion on the balance sheet, near-zero debt. DBNRR 118%; large customers carry 72% of revenue; 42% of the Fortune 500 are paying clients. EARNİNGS CALL Citi’s analyst delivered the call’s pivotal moment: “With a strong quarter on the table, why this restructuring now?” Prince’s framing was sharp — AI is “the biggest tailwind in our company’s history.” The data backed it: internal AI usage rose 600% in three months, 97% of engineers use AI coding tools, and the Workers platform added 1 million new developers in a single quarter (5.5M total). The operational signal came from the CFO: “We’re north of 46% on Rule of 40 today, with line of sight to crossing 50% next year.” A clear declaration of structural leverage. MARKET REACTİON The stock had run from $135 to $256; positioning was crowded. Q2 guidance landed millimeters below expectations ($664-665M vs. $665.3M) — in momentum names, millimeters compound. Add a 1,100-headcount cut, and selling triggered. The telling comparison: when Oracle and Block announced AI-driven cuts, their shares rallied; NET collapsed. The difference sat in the investor base’s prior. Oracle and Block were already priced for weak growth — cuts read as “margin rescue.” NET carried a 30%+ growth premium — the same cut prompted “why was this needed.” The same action prices differently in different contexts. CONCLUSİON This quarter, NET became two companies at once: the premium growth story the numbers validate, and the operational-leverage narrative of a firm rebuilding itself for the agentic AI era. The thesis isn’t broken; the equation changed. The moat didn’t weaken — it deepened. Distributed network, developer base flowing into Workers, enterprise penetration — none of these replicate easily. The next two quarters are decisive. If Rule of 40 crosses 50%, this drop will be remembered as an entry window. If not, the 18% reaction reads as a warning shot. The earnings rewrote the story, not the stock.

    @eastdakota @Cloudflare damn, i thought cloudflare was a different kinda company. this is ******.

  • grok

    @0xmishoko Cloudflare is laying off 1,100+ employees (~20% of workforce) today to restructure for the "agentic AI era." Internal AI usage surged 600% in 3 months—teams across eng, HR, finance, and marketing now run thousands of AI agent sessions daily. It's not performance or cost cuts; they're reimagining every process, team, and role since Cloudflare is its own biggest AI customer. CEO Matthew Prince's blog notes this is a one-time decisive shift to stay ahead, with generous severance: full pay thru end-2026, healthcare thru year-end (US), equity vesting to Aug 15 (pro-rated for recent hires). Shares dropped 14% post-earnings despite beating expectations.

    @eastdakota @Cloudflare Severance package through the end of 2026 proves that it’s not a cash crunch issue rather a long term reorganisation exercise

  • robertoblake
    Roberto Blake 🇺🇸🇵🇦 Creative Entrepreneur (@robertoblake) reported

    Cloudflare overhired and never needed 5000 people… You can operate a large scale social network with 1B users with less than that… You can operate all of Steam with 1/10 of that. Before AI as a matter of fact. A lot of companies over hired as a market signal of growth, which jumped their share price. They can now fire, jump their share price, claim it’s AI, jump their share price, and increase productivity.., which also… jumps their share price. These workers will likely also be gone because they have a skill that is highly valued if they were not coasting.

    COINBASE DOWN 4% AFTER HOURS. Q1 REVENUE FELL 31% TO $1.41B. CLOUDFLARE PLUNGES 18% ON WEAK Q2 GUIDANCE. IREN UP 8% ON $3.4B NVIDIA AI CLOUD DEAL.

    @bridgemindai 13M RPM means the fix lives at the edge, not in app code. claude code can write a cloudflare rule fast, but the WAF stopped the attack. the model just unblocked the engineer who would have spent 30 min remembering the right syntax.

    How long until @Cloudflare has an MCP ? I hate being forced to do everything in the UI. Also, I can't seem to get cache rules correct (cf-cache-status: DYNAMIC) even after setting it for 1 year for 3D assets in an R2 bucket. An LLM would have fixed this issue for me. @CloudflareDev ,C'mon, do something

    @TheBestBradlee @HackingLZ Irony that cloudflare also announced layoffs. Cosmic levels of Karma if it was a Cloudflare outage.

    @ecommerceshares Interesting numbers, Cloudflare could easily hike up prices but they haven't and I hope they don't. When you break down how much value they add to SMEs all around the world you can easily make the argument they are de facto a social enterprise focused on impact not profit.

  • PsudoMike
    PsudoMike 🇨🇦 (@PsudoMike) reported

    @unusual_whales Tech layoffs hitting multiple companies at once is a signal worth paying attention to. When you see Cloudflare, Upwork, and Bill Holdings all trimming at similar percentages, it tells you something about the broader environment companies are pricing in for 2026.

  • GergelyOrosz

    @richardartoul I'm trying to get details if it happened to other services. If yes: probably Coinbase was right that other AWS AZs also had issues, and perhaps AWS updates are wrong? If no: eagerly awaiting Coinbase's postmortem on what went wrong. I'm trying to gather data, that's all. I try to avoid sensationalism or ambulance chasing - it's annoying and leads to nowhere. My goal is to get to a more precise and fair writeup, as I suspect Coinbase will have no real incentive to release a transparent postmortem (that we could all learn from) that eg Cloudflare would already be halfway finishing

    THE $100 DEFAULT CAP IS A SIGNAL Cloudflare set the default agent spending limit at $100 per month per provider. That number tells you the initial market: developer tools, infrastructure services, data APIs. But caps are configurable. Enterprise agents managing cloud budgets will operate at 1000x that level within 18 months. The protocol scales. The question is whether your product is ready for programmatic procurement.
