  Oracle’s 4-core 24GB setup for Hermes was overkill and not worth it. Just migrated everything over to Google Cloud’s free tier today — a basic 2 vCPU, 1GB RAM VM. The standard network tier gives 200GB egress per month (no CDN or Cloudflare needed). More than enough. Only three regions offer free VMs. Picked us-west1 since it’s closest to Asia. e2-micro machine type, standard persistent disk up to 30GB, network tier set to standard for the bandwidth. Allow HTTP/HTTPS in the firewall, disable disk protection, and skip Ops Agent — those two are paid features. Migration was straightforward. Installed Hermes on the new VM, packed up what I needed from the old server, uploaded and extracted it, then ran hermes doctor and hermes setup. That’s it.

  @EddCoates Sir, as an amateur game developer I find your website very interesting. Just use Cloudflare, I guess it will do. But if not, you can look out for something to block IPs. If the problem is real crawlers, you can block them by their user-agent.

  If cloudflare is so buggy and easily broken or hacked, why the frell hasn't someone come up with a better system or solution?

  I had my @cloudflare bill spin up from 0 to 500 per day, and their interface was broken for two days, when I noticed I had to pay 900usd. They don't respond to customer support :(

  is there interest in a 4k+ word deep dive in building reliable agent loops (on cloudflare and elsewhere) writing down what I've done for building agents resilient to catastrophic failures on clients/servers/inference (with zero user code) and I need to get it out of my brain

  @EddCoates that nginx 500 is the scrapers basically ddosing you for free training data. robots txt is a polite suggestion they ignore now. what actually helps, put cloudflare in front with bot fight mode on, rate limit per asn not per ip since they rotate addresses, and consider a tarpit for the worst offenders. it is not legal so much as unenforceable at their scale, which is the real problem

  I've been building AI phone agents on @Cloudflare for a while now. v1. a Python container, fighting for every millisecond. v2. no container, the whole call on the edge. that was the real work. now that I have the stack down, I spent last weekend messing around. this is v3, a cartoon you talk to that remembers you and gets heckled by a second AI. all on Cloudflare primitives. three teardowns, first one tomorrow. follow along. @CloudflareDev

  @benlandautaylor the only tech layoff that can’t be explained by bad financials (either due to post ZIRP overhang or increased AI capex) seems to be Cloudflare. So I guess not for tech really

  @EddCoates if need any help with cloudflare I can help with some rules also it seems you're webserver code is bottlenecking you causing that error usually due to not being able to handle that many connections or to much cpu usage the webserver process dies i suggest using #golang best lang

  6. Default DNS Resolution Lag What it does: When your TV tries to load the image thumbnails for an app like Netflix, it uses your Internet Service Provider's default DNS server to find out where those images live on the internet. Think of DNS as the internet's phone book. Why it kills performance: ISP phone books are notoriously slow and incredibly outdated. Often, your TV is not actually lagging at all. The processor is fine, but the TV is frozen waiting for your internet provider to tell it where to download the movie poster graphics. *********** it: Settings → Network → Network Status → IP Settings → DNS Setting → Enter Manually. Change the numbers to 8.8.8.8 (Google) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare). You will literally watch your streaming apps load twice as fast.

  DD: Long term holdings. $NET cloudflare and why it's important in the age of agents ELI5: The world is moving towards agent. Big industries need better cloud bot protection, developers need LLM computing on the edge. Cloudflare provides the most afforadable option for both, even heavy aws users are using cloudflare for these purposes. What is Cloudflare? For the technically challenged or pre-med professionals, Cloudflare is a web infrastructure and security company that acts as a protective, performance-enhancing shield between a website and its visitors by providing services like content delivery networks (CDNs), DDoS mitigation, and secure domain routing. TL;DR: For the simple folks, it's that **** that pops up with the CAPTCHA to make sure you're not a bot. For developers, it's that **** that makes your sites fast and secure from bots. What is Cloudflare's growing revenue? Application Security and Content Delivery Network (CDN). What is a Content Delivery Network? A CDN is basically a network of servers used to store files closer to its users for faster retrieval. Imagine an app creates a backend database storing all its images on AWS based in US-East. A CDN will then copy the most commonly used images in that S3 database and duplicate them across multiple regions (Asia, Europe, US-East). When an app makes a service request, it will make the request to Cloudflare first. Cloudflare then uses its internal logic to determine if the data needed is in a nearby Cloudflare edge server (on the edge) or if it needs to get it from the main database in US-East. This is called storage on the edge. This CDN mechanism is a relic of Web 2.0, but it will become significantly more important in the age of AI. Now, instead of storing images, large AI providers will be storing entire LLM contexts on the edge. So instead of training specialized ML models to do a specific task, app companies can use a general-usage LLM with a stored context for that specific task, and it will be fast, too. This mechanism is called Prefix Caching or Prompt Caching. By doing this, it makes the LLM responses almost instantaneous. So all your consumer apps that use LLMs—like CALai, Duolingo, Grok, etc.—are most likely already using this process. Beyond simply storing data on the edge, the industry is shifting toward deploying entire servers and specialized AI models locally. A major component of this architecture relies on LLM routing. Instead of hosting massive, resource-heavy models on every single edge device or regional server, companies are deploying highly optimized, lightweight router models at the edge. These local routers analyze incoming user prompts to determine the most efficient way to handle them. If a task is simple, the edge model processes it instantly to minimize latency and eliminate cloud compute costs. If the task requires deep reasoning or a massive knowledge base, the router intelligently forwards the request to a larger cloud-hosted model. Additionally, these edge routers leverage tool calling, which allows them to execute local APIs, query regional databases, or trigger specific code workflows without needing to round-trip back to a centralized data center. Moving from simple edge storage to localized edge intelligent compute represents a massive paradigm shift. It allows enterprises to scale AI applications efficiently, safeguard data privacy, and drastically slash infrastructure costs. Cloudflare Security in the Age of Agents This one is simple. You know that Cloudflare CAPTCHA that pops up when you're entering a website or checking out with a credit card? Websites PAY for that CAPTCHA. And they pay a lot. These features block spam, bots, and DDoS attacks. When you move your mouse to click the CAPTCHA, Cloudflare uses proprietary logic that determines you're human by calculating how fast your mouse moved, the angle you moved it, how long you waited, and any other actions you took. Sometime in the 2010s, every website figured out that paying for this small puzzle CAPTCHA was more cost-effective than getting DDoS'd by bots, so almost every single site adopted it. The CAPTCHA is only one of Cloudflare's products in its security suite to block bots from websites, but the overarching theme is the same for all its features: blocking bots. Well, it's 2026 now, and web traffic across the board has increased, mostly driven by AI and AI agents. Automated web traffic has increased by 600% in 2026 alone. Guess who is positioned perfectly for this? Cloudflare. Not only is Cloudflare blocking bot traffic, but it's also getting paid by them. Cloudflare is releasing a new product (Pay Per Crawl) that allows website owners and Cloudflare to get paid for LLMs crawling their content. Cloudflare is simply winning by creating the gates for web traffic and now charging a toll fee for bots to use them. Cloudflare is direct play on internet traffic, which is a correlating play on ai agents and LLM adoption and usage. If you think people will continue to use ai agents and LLM, then cloudflare is your guy. Cloudflare valuation has dropped recently because of the layoffs due to ai, even though revenue has sped up. This drop was more of emotional sell off than a fundamental one. It's valuation has already bounced back. (Cloudflare is trading at 235 as of this post, I bought in earlier in the 190s for a swing trade after the bogus layoff dips, wish i bought in more)

  his is not just a blockchain story either. @NIST finalized three post-quantum standards in 2024. @Cloudflare says more than two-thirds of TLS traffic through its network now uses post-quantum key exchange. The migration has already started.

  @EddCoates Of course cloudflare could never stop my automated scrapers, and now they're offering automated browsers that aren't even as good as mine, perhaps reasoning that they know what they can stop and can always choose to not stop themselves.

  So @Cloudflare works overtime to destroy thei reputation by sending emails despite every notification turned off, and I’m willing to grant their request to never, ever trust this criminal company, and never use them. Any company willing to **** you by email will **** your data.

  5/ You hand over a paid API key, so it's security-reviewed. The key goes only over HTTPS, only in a header, to one stateless @Cloudflare proxy that never stores it. XSS and SSRF hardened. Templates use a strongly-consistent Durable Object. The proxy is fully open-source.

  @FredKSchott Btw, would Flue support something like "Cloudflare Think"-style cloud agents as well? Curious if there are nice integrations with Cloudflare primitives (Workers, Durable Objects, Queues, etc.) for workflows and the overall agent harness.

  @David_mduw Spin it up, yes. Understand what you built, or what you may have built wrong, not so much. The issues for the non-technical user are going to be things like not understanding when they are trying to build on a server-less platform like Cloudflare, when in fact, they are prompting their way into a site that really needs server side processes. The LLM may or may not point this out to the user, but it will continue trying to build it anyway if the user keeps prompting.

  @EddCoates I dealt with some of the same stuff, ended up putting them behind Cloudflare proxies, which helped somewhat. The biggest fix was blocking specific ASNs. Specifically AS132203.
