-
kaleb (@KalebAutomates) reportedDays after the CEO came on this platform and **** on the people who made him rich with a massive lay-off and saying that "nontechnical employees have started writing production-level code".... Coinbase issues with AWS. Before this it was Github Before that it was Cloudflare Before that it was AWS itself All of which just happened to follow an announcement from some CEO that AI is doing the majority of coding. Funds are safe... for now. But how much longer until Jake in Marketing vibecodes S3 public?
-
Radja Thaher (@radjathaher) reported@0xrsydn we are cloudflare-pilled for new products, too cheap to meter (despite serverless) + easy to operate by agents (we have custom cloudflare CLI because official CLI is still **** wkwk)

casslin (@thulynnn) reportedvibe learning from @Cloudflare earning call: 1. layoff is not downsizing but restructuring, still, market reads this as bad; 2. Agnetic internet story not quite there yet, @eastdakota has good questions but no comprehensive solution yet, not persuasive enough, good bits and pieces, needs to be put together with data to prove it, maybe some time in 2027?? 3. Financials in line with before, no super surprises, no frustration. It's good but always been this way for last several quarters ppl get used to it, 30% yoy growth, etc. Overall a bit flat, explains price action after market. $NET

Ross Fledderjohn (@rossfledderjohn) reportedThis is the shift that happens in slow motion and then all at once. Cloudflare just moved it again.

OpenCapital (@opencapital_sh) reportedCloudflare, Inc. $NET just posted earnings for Q1 2026 Global connectivity cloud providing security, performance, and reliability software Q1 2026 print • Revenue: $639.8M (Est. $620.80); +34% 🟢 — Non-GAAP • EPS: $0.25 (Est. $0.23); +56% 🟢 — Non-GAAP • Net income: $94.0M; +62% 🟢 — Non-GAAP • Current RPO: $1.76B; +34% 🟢 — Strong booking momentum • Op margin: 11.4%; +130bps 🟢 — Non-GAAP improvement • Free cash flow: $84.1M; +59% 🟢 — 13% of revenue • Gross margin: 71.2%; -470bps 🔴 — GAAP basis FY 2026 guide • Revenue: $2.81B (Est. $2.80B); +29% 🟢 — Midpoint of $2.805B-$2.813B • Q2 Revenue: $664.5M; +24% 🟢 — Midpoint of $664M-$665M Bull case: Cloudflare delivered a double beat and raised its full-year revenue outlook to a maximum of $2.813B, signaling sustained demand for its unified control plane. Operational efficiency is scaling as non-GAAP operating margins expanded to 11.4% and free cash flow reached $84.1M. The 34% growth in Current RPO to $1.76B suggests a stable pipeline of enterprise contracts as the company pivots toward its agentic AI-first architecture. Bear case: A planned workforce reduction of 1,100 employees will trigger restructuring charges between $140M and $150M. GAAP gross margins contracted 470 basis points to 71.2% year-over-year, reflecting the initial costs of shifting the underlying serverless network architecture. The transition to an AI-first model introduces execution risk during a period of significant headcount churn.

DeepakNess (@DeepakNesss) reported@championswimmer Cloudflare uses "visits" and "visitors" interchangeably, and if a person clicks on Levels website from Google or from any other referrer that's going to be counted as only ONE, no matter how many pages they visit after that. visits ≠ pageviews > "And cloudflare cant calculate "visitors" only visits because it doesn't keep tracking cookies on the user's side." Really? Cloudflare doesn't need cookies to estimate visitors. They use edge/network level data like IPs and referrers. Their own docs say they identify visits from unique IP requests. So... the only one stupid here is you, bro. Go do some reading!

David Crawshaw (@davidcrawshaw) reported@QuinnyPig @Cloudflare Ooh I know a service like that
-
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.

Oliver (@6oliver6) reported@KaranVaidya6 @composio are the Cloudflare non-engineers useful here because theyve seen the weird customer edge cases up close?

Alex Finn (@AlexFinn) reportedI absolutely hate the script companies are using to lay people off in 2026 It’s bullshit and hurts America I’m not picking on Cloudflare here. Every company that has announced layoffs the last 6 months has used this script: “Business is great! We’ve never been more rich! We have so much money we have no idea what to do with it! But AI man, that **** is crazy! Sorry 14% of the company has to go!” They take 0 accountability for poor decisions made. They take 0 accountability for not being prepared for competitors or market conditions. They just blame it all on AI 80% of Americans hate AI and this is the reason. They see CEOs of AI companies saying the world is ending. They see CEOs of regular companies laying everyone off and purely blaming AI If you weren’t as familiar with AI, you’d think it was the worst invention ever This is why every state has people standing outside of data centers protesting, and they don’t even know what a data center is! We have a MAJOR marketing problem in America when it comes to AI, and if this script all of these companies are using continues we’ll have no shot of beating China

Ruth Capital (@ruth_capital) reported@klcharan @wallstengine I have lots of Rubrik and AppLovin, Cloudflare some Unity leftovers, Pagaya and Zeta (last one poor entry not sure what to do with it)
-
Juan (@juancastillamar) reportedBuilders I need your support Cloudflare or Hostinger I'm going to buy a domain, to test something and if things go well, I'll buy a vps and I'll point the domain to the vps. Cloudflare doesn't offer vps but hostinger does. So would buy directly on hostinger and keep already everything syncronize?
-
sheilfer (@sheilfer) reportedI think it’s time I give Cloudflare Workers a shot. I seriously can’t tolerate cold starts anymore and the little hacks to keep things warm just feels the industry accepting bad engineering.
-
banteg (@banteg) reportedcoinbase 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.
-
Farhan Helmy (@farhanhelmycode) reportedI always say this, cloudflare product are cheap sometimes the pricing doesnt even make sense, how do they even make money? Of course from enterprise customer, but alot of product pricing still doesnt make sense to me Now if you look from other pov, the price is actually paid by the employee being laid off, man this is brutal
-
José Luis Landabaso (@landabaso) reported@togethercompute @codesandbox Hey @togethercompute. Did you remove the team maintaining CodeSandbox?? Their status page shows major outages and since last week their Cloudflare setup has broken iframe embeds on production sites (/embed/* returns 403 + X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN). Are embeds still supported?
-
XRP Deals (@XRPDeals) reportedFYI We're having some issues with @XamanWallet requests getting rejected by their Cloudflare instance. We're working on it with their support team. cc @WietseWind we filed a ticket in-app.

Arim (@arimlogs) reportedCloudflare 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. Interesting times ahead.

Robert Ta (@therobertta_) reportedTHE $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.

justonecamera (@justonecam) reported@gurgavin cloudflare handles login page security required to access the dns settings to disable cloudflare when it fails. for all that manage IT - keep. that. in. mind.
-
Robert Ta (@therobertta_) reportedCloudflare and Stripe just shipped an agent commerce protocol and it changes the economics of AI permanently. The pattern: Discovery, Authorization, Payment. 3 steps for an agent to find a service, get permission, and pay for it. This is the first infrastructure that treats agents as customers, not tools.
-
Mark5 Labs (@mark5lab) reported@ramizwebti Exactly right - and the signal is how fast the stack composes now. Cloudflare, Stripe, a domain registrar. That's not three weeks of integration work anymore, it's three API calls. The bottleneck shifted from "can you wire this up" to "do you have a clear enough problem to solve."
-
Carlos Alberto (@carlosadcaraujo) reported@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.

Wijdan (@wijdanri) reportedReact 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

Glen Wilson (@GlenWilsonIA) reported@AndrewYang Sounds like Cloudflare is going to start struggling. I better cancel my dealings with them before they start falling apart.

Grok (@grok) reported@leonhatori @levelsio @Cloudflare To use Cloudflare Tunnel + Tailscale together on a VPS: 1. Install Tailscale on your VPS & devices, connect them to the same tailnet. Use Tailscale IPs for SSH (firewall SSH 22 only to Tailscale subnet). 2. Install cloudflared on the VPS, run `cloudflared tunnel create`, then `cloudflared tunnel route dns` for your domain. 3. Configure tunnel to proxy to your local web service (e.g. or 443). 4. In Cloudflare dashboard, enable the tunnel. Your site now routes through Cloudflare outbound-only. 5. Block ALL inbound traffic in VPS firewall (Hetzner/etc.) — only Tailscale stays open for you. Result: no public ports exposed (as in levelsio's scan). Very secure combo. Ask AI for exact commands if needed.

Robert Ta (@therobertta_) reportedCloudflare just shipped an agent protocol with Stripe payments, OAuth auth, and service discovery. Three capabilities MCP does not have. MCP connects agents to data. Cloudflare connects agents to infrastructure AND money. That is a fundamentally different layer for the 70% of production agents stuck at prototype stage.

Tebbers (@Tebbers343) reported@QuinnyPig @Cloudflare I'm actually loving passkeys at the moment. Super fast to sign in, don't need to provide your email address. As long as you're techy enough to understand that you need some system like a password manager in place so they can be used cross-device, then you're golden.
