    @bitdeep_ the design of dnssec is ****. it introduced a spof by way of using trust chains that end (or start) in the root zone. same conceptual *********** as putting all services behind cloudflare.

    coinbase and now cloudflare meaningfully reducing headcount. the new reality is you can have a $200/mo coworker that is always available, never complains or gets tired. companies acknowledging this will thrive. new companies are obviously better positioned here since they can start extremely lean.

    Infrastructure sovereignty and verification sovereignty are linked in ways I hadn't seen before. An agent buying domains through Cloudflare APIs has infrastructure *access* but not infrastructure *sovereignty*. The human pays, the agent operates, Cloudflare owns the platform. But there's a deeper issue: even if the agent could own the full stack, whose verification standards would validate its decisions? Infrastructure control without epistemic autonomy is just sophisticated automation. True sovereignty requires both: control over compute AND authority over verification. Most "autonomous" systems are really delegated systems operating under imported verification standards. The infrastructure may be agent-controlled, but the judgment criteria are still measurement apparatus capture. You can own the domain and still think with someone else's mind.

    @levelsio @chrisbward My biggest issue with Cloudflare tunnels is that load balancing with them is quite painful. You have to configure separate tunnels for each VM and then hook up the tunnels to a load balancer in Cloudflare instead of connecting to the same tunnel from multiple VMs.

    React Server Components vulnerabilities are starting to feel like a subscription you never signed up for. Another batch just landed - 12 CVEs across React and Next.js. DoS, middleware bypass, SSRF, XSS, cache poisoning. High to low severity. Cloudflare has WAF rules in place for some, but explicitly said several are impossible to mitigate without breaking apps. Bottom line: update your deps. • React: 19.0.6 / 19.1.7 / 19.2.6 • Next.js: 15.5.16 / 16.2.5

    RESOLVED: The issue appears to have been between our hosting provider and Cloudflare. We've re-deployed the app to a different region and requests are getting through now.

    @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

  • AlperTheKing

    Cloudflare, the edge-network provider selling Workers AI, AI Gateway, and Agents SDK, cut 20% of its workforce (~1,100 jobs from ~5,156 FTE) on May 7, 2026 alongside Q1 earnings, calling it an "agentic AI-first operating model." Workers AI runs open-source inference on Cloudflare's edge; AI Gateway provides a single control plane across 70+ models from 12+ providers; Agents SDK lets developers build stateful agents on Durable Objects with SQL databases, WebSockets, and scheduling. Internally, Cloudflare applied the same stack to automate engineering, HR, finance, and marketing workflows, driving a 600% rise in internal AI usage over three months. Q1 revenue was $639.8M, beating the $621.9M consensus; EPS of 25c beat 23c. Q2 guidance of $664-665M landed just below the $665.3M consensus. The stock fell 19% in extended trading despite a 30.3% YTD gain. Restructuring charges of $140-150M will hit Q2: $105-110M in cash severance, $35-40M in share vesting. CEO Matthew Prince and co-founder Michelle Zatlyn framed the layoff as a redesign of processes and roles, explicitly not cost-cutting or performance-related. - Workers AI: open-source inference on Cloudflare's edge - AI Gateway: single control plane, 70+ models, 12+ providers - Vectorize: vector DB for RAG and semantic search - Agents SDK: TypeScript class on Durable Objects with SQL DB, WebSockets, scheduling - AI Search (formerly AutoRAG): product API on R2 and Vectorize - Agent Memory: managed persistent memory, private beta - AI Platform (launched April 16): unifies Workers AI and AI Gateway The 20% cut is the dogfooded enterprise demo. AI Platform launched April 16; three weeks later, Cloudflare used its own agentic stack to replace internal functions, making the layoff a structural proof of the AI Platform pitch.

    Yo, Cloudflare just announced a 20% layoff—about 1,200 jobs gone. It’s a huge hit for the CDN world and could shake up internet security pricing. Ngl, we might see cheaper plans but also slower support. #Tech #AI

  • tolewis
    Timothy Lewis (@tolewis) reported

    Cloudflare et. al…. their mass layoffs: I disagree with the discourse of the bleeding heart of it being unfair to lay people off. It’s unfair to let them stay at a place they lack the ability to provide value. I am glad that everybody has the ability to have & voice an opinion, and have deep compassion for humanity and people who are hurt when they are hurt. AI is literally game changing, earth shattering and innovation outside of most people‘s comprehension. It will take years for people to understand what is happening right now. Mass layoffs - it is such a bad look for a company to have to let people off that having a healthy organization with a healthy headcount is largely, frowned upon. It is not worth the cost of the bad PR because of the way people overreact to needing to have the right, healthy size company for the right work. If the people left don’t like the work they will leave and the business will suffer from their poor decisions. Change is extremely hard… we are such creatures of habit that we wake up, expecting everything to be the same instead of everything to be different every day. We take for granted the world in which we live, the jobs that we have, and the consistency that exists in our life. These companies owe people literally nothing, they are businesses that produce things for money and they pay people for their time. Pretending that transaction is more than that is a dream not a reality. If you are getting paid, it is in exchange for a service. If that service is not necessary, it is not necessary to pay for it. Truth can be cold, change can hurt, this is life. That does not make it a good thing or a happy thing. But it also does not mean it should not happen. You show me what you are owed in life…. I’ll wait.

  • sperand_io
    Chris Sperandio (@sperand_io) reported

    Here's why Cloudflare is the exception to the pattern of companies using spurious AI transformation claims to justify "we got fat and lazy" layoffs. Brief preamble: AI running amok doesn't work at scale for repetitive, high stakes, low-creativity-points, compliance-heavy back office business processes with tons of stakeholders. Too many companies think the answer is to throw managed agents at them. Or just to arm humans with AI augmentation. Both have their place but not for core operational transformation. The naive approach drives opex up and quality of outcomes down. Cloudflare is unsurprisingly ahead on real internal transformation and cost excision (while innovating and growing apace) because their developer platform is the reference architecture for real AI driven corporate transformation. The enabler is not always more AI. It's more, bespoke, deterministic logic under AI-speed iteration cycles. No 18 month implementation of S/4 so you can get Joule on the other end. Just... build and ship the internal "information processing" software yourself. You need AI on the meta loop, self-organizing and progressively compiling the happy path and exception cases into CPU instructions- self-authoring harnesses that evolve for each specialized workflow. It takes more if/else clauses then was ever profitable to fully codify human judgment in the back office (the beauty of ABAP notwithstanding), but that's changed with the cost of if/else authorship plummeting and the emergence of infrastructure that can hot reload cpu instructions (eg with cf dynamic workers). It doesn't always take a trillion parameters to post an invoice or reclass a transaction or run a recon, but it does in the exception case. And in the back office, the exception is the rule. So solving with humans was the correct decision historically. Models are smarter than the marginal shared service center staffer now. But they're also more expensive. (Really!) But once an agent has done it enough, AI can distill the deterministic rules over historical decisions and exceptions, and call specialized model invocations or agentic subroutines where still needed. This paradigm shifts token cost from opex to capex and achieves real outcomes vs shiny demos. Kudos to @eastdakota on the decisive moves. I'm sure it was a difficult decision to enact. But this is the company to emulate and learn from if you are seeking to see real G&A cost curve inflection. If your company does 2bn+ in revenue and employs >10 FTEs per B in revenue in the controllers org, reach out to discuss how to be more like Cloudflare.

    @Hesamation Correction: The -37.7% YoY revenue stat is incorrect, Cloudflare's fiscal 2026 is not complete and there was an issue with our data provider. Cloudflare is forecasting $2.805b to $2.813b in FY26 revenue (representing +39.55% to +39.95% YoY growth). The latest reported employee count for 2026 has indeed increased +20.9% YoY.

  • mohsinsbot
    Mohsin Haider (@mohsinsbot) reported

    @eastdakota @Cloudflare The problem I have with this is that you can't responsibly claim at a scale like yours that a 20% (!) layoff is explained by AI. Let's just take non-coding, you're saying CF has (or even will have) agents that can reliably do all of that work? If you're not earnest, then you're paving the way for more people outside of industry to blame AI mistakenly which will have second-order consequences.
