Cloudflare Issues Reports

-
Zubair Ibn Zamir (@ZubairIbnZamir) reported@Cloudflare @CloudflareDev Cloudflare should allow limited free usage of Images & Stream without requiring the $5 paid plan first. Even a tiny free tier (20–30 images, limited deliveries, ~20 min video storage, etc.) would help many developers test and experiment before paying.

father stretch my bandz (@MILKANDH3NNY) reported@kr0der effect if I’m in the mood otherwise an errors as values wrapper, tanstack start, Cloudflare r2 and workers, railway, kysley I try my hardest to avoid next and trpc for most things.
-
Haiyami Nguyen (@haiyami9x) reported@Patarino So every layoff means the company is cooked? Come on. Tech spent ten years hiring people whose job is basically “sit in meetings and make more meetings.” AI is going to expose a lot of that nonsense fast. Cloudflare cutting 20% sounds brutal now. Give it a few years and it might look tame. That one-day stock dump doesn’t prove layoffs are bad. The market is full of idiots and is wrong all the time.

Adeola Emmanuel Morren (@Adeola13) reported@dok2001 what did you guys do to wrangler auth and cloudflare dashboard auth, its completely unusable? get signed out every hour or so, and signing back in is not always possible? never experienced this untill this week.

Glitch Truth (@glitchtruth) reportedCloudflare just laid off 1,100 people on the same day it announced record revenue. Matthew Prince's all-hands letter said the quiet part out loud. The roles that went were sales development reps, tier-1 customer support, and parts of the technical writing team. The exact functions where Claude and GPT-5 hit human parity in the last 18 months. Not infrastructure engineers. Not security researchers. The middle layer. This is the first clean public admission from a major US cloud company that the AI productivity gain is showing up as headcount cuts, not output growth. Salesforce did it quietly. Klarna did it loudly then walked it back. Cloudflare did it on an earnings beat, with the stock up. If you're an SDR, a tier-1 support agent, or a junior copywriter at a company shipping AI tools, your seat is the next line item on someone's slide. The move this week: shift your weekly output toward the parts of your job that touch real customer escalations, ambiguous edge cases, or live deal motion. That's the layer the model still loses on, and it's the only layer your manager can defend in the next planning cycle. What function inside your company has quietly been replaced this year that nobody on LinkedIn is talking about?

Knot #RateCosmicCyclone (@Knot10809302) reported@Jo_Jo_AAA @gelbooru @Cloudflare Man if only there was a way to tell whether or not something is a bot. You could probably make a lot of money selling a service that does this. I think “cloudflare” would be a good name for a company that does that
-
QUEST.py (@victorokolie_) reportedActually yes, using Cloudflare can help a lot, especially for static content and smarter routing. But if your web app is mostly dynamic, it won’t completely remove latency from physical distance. For most projects, latency is still manageable on a single Hetzner VPS unless you’re building something realtime-sensitive. If needed, use Cloudflare CDN + caching + Argo before paying for another server

Just a Dude Who Invests (@DudeWhoInvests) reportedGOD DAMN Cloudflare $NET getting dragged through the mud stomped on, spat on, jumped on, dragged through the mud again, and thrown off a cliff?!??? Erased a fourth of their market cap today. 😮
-
Chinedu 🇬🇭🇳🇬 (@codmajik) reported@bvchidra all your requests are routed to cloudflare who then carry that request via their fast low latency network to your server via the tunnel. you can also just ask cloudflare to proxy your request via a dns settings without the tunnel but tunnel is better

Alper FERUDUN (@AlperTheKing) reportedCloudflare cut 1,100 jobs (20% of workforce) on the same day it reported record Q1 revenue of $639.8M, +34% YoY. CEO Matthew Prince frames it as a re-org for "the agentic AI era," not cost reduction. The cuts hit support, not engineering. 📉 WHAT HAPPENED - 1,100 eliminated, headcount from 5,500 to 4,400. - Stock fell ~24%. - Prince: "not a cost-cutting exercise" but a restructure for the agentic AI era. 👥 WHO GOT CUT - Customer success, technical support, sales-adjacent roles hit hardest. - Engineering largely preserved. 💰 WHY IT IS DIFFERENT - Record $639.8M quarter, +34% YoY, same day as layoffs. - Internal AI usage up ~600% in 3 months on Workers / vibe coding. - This is not margin defense; it is a bet that AI agents are now the primary contact surface. 🐤 THE CANARY - When revenue is at a record and AI usage is at a record and a workforce gets cut, customer support is the role AI hits first. - The hype says AI is coming for engineering jobs. Cloudflare fired the humans engineers built tools to replace. 📋 THE PRECEDENT - Klarna 2024-2025: AI took over 2/3 of inbound chats, support cut, resolution times held. - Salesforce, IBM, Duolingo, Dropbox trimmed support while preserving engineering. 🔮 CLOSING THESIS The canary in the AI coal mine is customer support, not the codebase. The headcount delta between support and engineering at AI-forward companies is the indicator that matters.

Starcat Tailchaser 💫🐈♥️💙 (@StarcatTails) reportedDue to the Cloudflare Problems causing issues with the apps I need to use for prep, Stream may be delayed or turned into a lets chat today, we will see how things go over the next couple hours.

Global News (@GlobalNews_EN) reportedCloudflare cuts 1,100 jobs due to AI efficiency, despite record revenue. CEO says AI reduces need for support roles. Is this the future of tech employment? #AI #Cloudflare #TechLayoffs

Asad Ali (@asad_ch3) reported@thinklikekai @dr_cintas Wtf you saying, bypass cloudflare is not piece of cake

Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported@_its_not_real_ let's encrypt outage is boring, the real fragility is monoculture around cloudflare

Russ (@RussTheOtaku) reported@gelbooru So never use Cloudflare got it

FossilSouthie (@SouthieFromSTW1) reportedNVM Cloudflare is dying. Not an Epic Games issue this time. The cloud has been having issues the whole day today

Linas Beliūnas (@linasbeliunas) reportedCloudflare $NET lays off 1,100+ employees to restructure for the “agentic AI “era” - stock price goes down by 25%. Coinbase $COIN lays off 14% of employees as “non-technical teams are now pushing code to production with AI” - their trading engine & status page goes down. You simply cannot make this stuff up.

Santh (@SanthProject) reported@tervoooo cloudflare is the move. or servicenow/palantir. or honestly any of the saas companies that dropped last week except for adobe. theyre going to ****

🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷Ali🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷 (@fort_minor_ali) reportedStop crying about Iran internet blackouts by posting netblocks charts. If it could have any impact, you would have already seen some changes. Go and protest Cloudflare, which is providing key infrastructure to Iran's GFW and enabling them with their Warp technology to put a whole nation behind a NAT. Cloudflare should stop providing them with Warp. This means they would have to shut down the whole internet for everyone including their own or revert to their DPI blacklist model from a few years ago.

modpotato (@modpotatos) reportedis cloudflare down again or like whats goiing on
-
Praveen Koka (@praveenkoka) reportedWhat Cloudflare has done is publish a template. Fire the support layer. Keep the quota carriers. Attribute the reduction to AI efficiency. Report record revenue in the same breath. This is a replicable playbook and profitable tech companies have every reason to follow it. Every business unit that doesn't directly own revenue is now answerable to the same question: can an AI agent do this for 1/10th the cost? For a growing number of roles, the answer in 2026 is yes.

Logic Surface (@LogicSurface) reported@_its_not_real_ Cloudflare used google certs why would they be affected. I bet this wasn’t fundamentally a cert issue

Phil | Rentier Digital Automation (@rentierdigital) reportedcloudflare just rebuilt next.js in five days for $1,100 using claude code. 67,000 lines, 94% api coverage, 7,000+ github stars. one engineer. one week this is not a story about open source licensing this is a story about what happens when the friction cost of cloning your backend drops from six engineers and a year to a single person and $1,100 in api tokens roritharr posted on hacker news six weeks ago about a client's engineer who reverse-engineered a saas backend in a week with claude code. shipped it. functionally identical. the replies were all about lawyers and copyleft. one comment cut through the noise: "if your backend is trivial enough to be implemented by a large language model, what value are you providing?" that question stopped being theoretical when vinext shipped here is what we have been calling a technical moat for fifteen years: reproduction friction. not code. not lawyers. friction when cloning took six engineers and a year, competitors did not bother. when it takes $1,100 and five days, they will yes there are bugs in the clone. hacktron found 45 vulnerabilities in vinext. 24 validated but that does not save you. it just means your competitor ships with bugs while they eat your lunch the moats that survive: switching costs that live in your users' heads, not your code. distribution you acquired before your product existed. network effects that compound faster than code clones everything else is rent you have been collecting from friction i build and ship daily with Claude Code. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, I've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

Boaz Hwang (@BoazWith) reported@PovilasKorop That Cloudflare-vs-Nginx split is exactly where agents earn trust. Did Codex actually inspect logs/config, or did it infer the proxy issue from the symptoms?
-
Spartan Flash Sentry 🇺🇲🈁o7 (@SentrySpartan) reported@akascarletVT Yeah. Probably cloudflare server issues again.

Matt Convente (@mattconvente) reported@mil000 **** this. Annoying CAPTCHAs, Cloudflare “verification”, press and hold, and now this.
-
Alice (@AliceWillNot) reportedHorrific abuse of the sacred World Wide Web perpetrated by Google here. I get that the bot problem is serious in many places (as I discovered even running my own Website 20 years ago) but this infringement on freedom as not acceptable. It's bad enough with Cloudflare already!

Sasha ひ 🍈 🗡️🔞🫙 (Goonlator) (@catdream97) reported@gelbooru @Cloudflare has absolutely no backbone and is a garbage service

(\/)atri}{ (@ascannertoddly) reportedTo create a temporary Cloudflare tunnel on macOS using Homebrew, you can use the command: brew install cloudflare/cloudflare/cloudflared followed by cloudflared tunnel --url This will set up a tunnel that routes traffic from Cloudflare to your local service on port 8000 This is useful for testing services that require an external domain like payment using Stripe or Clover for example.
