-
Nooterine (@DehFanBoy_) reported@Pirat_Nation Prepare for more issues and crashes. Actually, what service does cloudflare provide ?
-
charl.dev (@charl_dot_dev) reported@bonganig Don’t waste your money and time, use Cloudflare. I don’t work for Cloudflare nor am I endorsed by them. I’m simply trying to help you
-
Resolver Vicky | Dev 🔧 (@resolvervicky) reportedCloudflare Registrar sells domains at cost and they make zero profit on domain registration. It's a loss leader to get you on their platform. That's why the renewal price never spikes. Namecheap's first-year discount is a customer acquisition trick; the real price is the renewal. Agree?
-
Laserak (@TrueLaserak) reported@Pirat_Nation This coinciding with Cloudflare having more issues than ever is just a coincidence huh?
-
vx-underground (@vxunderground) reportedSorry, Cloudflare. I do like your service but this is a very whimsical meme
-
Sergey Nikiforov (@nixeton) reported@hmziqrs @levelsio @grok I tried SES before Cloudflare published its email service :) but now I will definitely migrate to it.

Povilas Korop | Laravel Courses Creator & Youtuber (@PovilasKorop) reportedMy example of GPT-5.5 vs Opus 4.7. I had an issue with subdomain SSL certificate suddenly stopped working. Asked Opus - it pointed to add some stuff to Nginx conf. Tried, did not work. Asked Codex - it tested and identified Cloudflare proxy issue and told exactly what to fix.
-
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?
-
Brandon Marin (@joanbadiavalls) reported$NET Cloudflare had a nice 3x beat, but the stock is down by nearly 20% after hours. The stock has been priced beyond perfection, but hopefully this marks a shift to a more reasonable valuation where I can buy it. They also announced a layoff of around 20% of their workforce, alluding to part of the reason being AI. "Cloudflare's usage of AI has increased by more than 600% in the last three months alone."
-
Alan David (@ChristsHammer) reported@eastdakota @Cloudflare Two years ago you guys were thought leaders in the edge networking space and a pinnacle of reliability and performance. Now you’re some kind of shapeless AI blob? wtf are you doing Matt.
-
Matt Convente (@mattconvente) reported@mil000 **** this. Annoying CAPTCHAs, Cloudflare “verification”, press and hold, and now this.

Asad Ali (@asad_ch3) reported@thinklikekai @dr_cintas Wtf you saying, bypass cloudflare is not piece of cake
-
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
-
Rituraj (@RituWithAI) reported5/ The Part That Should Concern U Prince said Cloudflare will have more employees in 2027 than at any point in 2026. But the roles being cut — support, coordination, ops — aren't coming back. New hires will be different roles entirely.
-
Hermann (@dhlotter) reportedShipped a feature that uses GA4, PostHog, and Cloudflare Insights. Took four separate PRs just to get the Content Security Policy right because every tool loads scripts from a different host. CSP doesn't punish bad code. It punishes third parties. #buildinpublic #WebDev
-
Jules Mando (@JulesMandoX) reported@levelsio @Cloudflare I wanted to but I’m quite afraid that the service is in beta. I can’t say if it will be necessary to change the APIs in 1 month, 3 months, 6 months?
-
Russell Sean (@RussellQuantum) reported𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝟭,𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 @Cloudflare cut 20% of its workforce this week: not because the business is struggling, but because internal AI usage rose 600% in 3 months and humans became redundant in support roles. This is the template. Profitable companies eliminating headcount precisely because performance is improving. Are you still advising people to retrain for "AI-adjacent" roles, or do you accept the displacement is faster than the retraining pipeline?

阿绎 AYi (@AYi_AInotes) reportedHonestly, Levelsio’s post today is the sharpest industry signal I’ve seen all week. Everyone’s doing the math—Cloudflare comes in at nearly two-thirds cheaper than Postmark. For the past decade, email providers have charged a premium for two things: A better SDK, and more reliable delivery. Now both of those advantages are gone. Take a typical mid-to-large SaaS sending a million emails a month: Postmark charges $1,206. Resend: $650. SendGrid: $600. Cloudflare: just $354. And Amazon SES: as low as $100. The real kicker? Levelsio dropped a complete migration prompt. Throw it into Cursor or Claude, and you can move your whole project’s email system in ten minutes. What used to take a week of work from the ops team can now be done by a single developer in the time it takes to drink a coffee. The technical barriers are gone. The integration costs are gone. All that’s left is price. He’s already split his sending across three subdomains, and specifically warned: new IPs need a three-month warm-up—absolutely don’t move transactional emails first. People stuck with pricier options like Postmark or Resend because it was easier. But now Cloudflare’s pricing is near SES levels, while offering way better domain management and ecosystem experience. I’ve got a feeling every indie dev and small-to-mid SaaS will gradually migrate this way. Now that’s what real infrastructure commoditization looks like.

S Banerjee (@SB434223) reported@ConsciousRide “we need to retake your interview” would be my answer 😭 if the frontend can read the secret key, the user can read the secret key Cloudflare is not a magic invisibility cloak for credentials secrets belong in secret managers, KMS, Vault, backend injection layers - never shipped to the client

Taylor Maria Bullard Rodriguez (@Tbullard6622) reported@eastdakota @Cloudflare You're a weak chinned ****. You layoff 1000 people and instead of your 8 percent bump your stock price got slaughtered. Eat ****.

🧞♂️Martin Donadieu - oss/acc (@martindonadieu) reported@levelsio @Cloudflare SES is simple to start and easy to get banned, i lasted 2 weeks on it. now i use Cloudflare for support, resent transactional and bento for marketing

Matt 'TK' Taylor (@MattieTK) reported@just_be_dev @Cloudflare we're having a few issues with firefox that I believe are scheduled to be landing early next week, ping me back if you're still suffering on Tuesday

Glitch Gazer 2.0 (@GlitchGazer20) reported@adilmania Amazon 30k, Oracle 30k, now Cloudflare 1.1k. Copy-paste 'AI made us do it' script. Covers poor planning. Where's the market actively building instead of optimizing us out?
-
Shubh Jain (@shubh19) reportedreal monthly infra cost of a solo SaaS in 2026: - Supabase free: ₹0 - Railway starter: ₹800 - Resend free (3K emails): ₹0 - Cloudflare free: ₹0 - UptimeRobot free: ₹0 - Sentry free (5K errors): ₹0 - PostHog free (1M events): ₹0 - Vercel hobby: ₹0 - Namecheap domain: ₹900/year - Anthropic API (light usage): ₹500–2K total: under ₹2,000/month the "I can't afford to build" excuse died in 2024. what's the real reason?
-
suresh kumar (@sureshkanbu) reported@CodaraSolutions the route 53 → cloudflare flip is where it stops being a code problem. agents are great at the patch, terrible at the "is this even the right layer to fix" call. blast radius decisions still need a human in the loop
-
The Future Is The Past (@FuturePast138) reported@Pirat_Nation Cloudflare sucked, crashed the internet, made companies lose billions, and now of course "it's because of AI we are laying off people, it's not because our product is bad" 🤡

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!
