Cloudflare is a connectivity cloud that combines content delivery, DNS, security and serverless compute into one platform, aimed at developers who need global infrastructure and at organizations that need to protect and speed up their applications. Its offerings span compute, storage, AI, media and network services, including a content delivery network, DNS, a web application firewall, bot mitigation and rate limiting.
Its Workers platform runs code across hundreds of data centers worldwide using lightweight V8 isolates instead of containers, which Cloudflare says removes cold starts and lets code execute instantly close to users. Workers supports JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust and WebAssembly, and connects to Cloudflare's own object storage, a SQL database and key-value storage, plus edge AI models and vector databases, so a single deployment can serve as both a security layer and an application backend.
Cloudflare bills usage-based rather than by flat rate, charging for actual CPU time rather than wall-clock time on its compute products; specific plans and tiers are detailed on a separate pricing page.
