Code Orange: Fail Small is complete. The result is a stronger Cloudflare network

Over the past two and a bit quarters, we've undertaken an intensive engineering effort, internally code-named "Code Orange: Fail Small", focused on making Cloudflare's infrastructure more resilient, secure, and reliable for every customer. Earlier this month, the Cloudflare team finished this work.

How Cloudflare Got 2x Faster Servers With Less Cache

In this episode of This Week in NET, JQ Lau and Victor Hwang from our Network & Infrastructure Strategy team walk us through Cloudflare's 13th generation of servers — the machines that power a significant part of the internet across 330+ cities worldwide. The Gen 13 program doubled compute density by jumping from 96 to 192 cores, but that came with an 83% drop in L3 cache. The team explains how a bold hardware bet, combined with Cloudflare's FL2 Rust-based software rewrite, turned that trade-off into a win across throughput, latency, and power efficiency.

Post-quantum encryption for Cloudflare IPsec is generally available

While more than two-thirds of human-generated TLS traffic to Cloudflare is already protected by post-quantum cryptography, the world of site-to-site networking has been a different story. For years, the IPsec community remained caught between the high bar of Internet-scale interoperability and the niche requirements of specialized hardware. That gap is now closing.

Sales Is a Math Problem | Vinti Batiste, VP of Enterprise Sales at Cloudflare

In this episode of This Week in NET, Vinti Batiste, VP of Sales for US Enterprise at Cloudflare, shares her 30-year journey across IBM, Cisco, and now Cloudflare — and what it really means to be in enterprise sales. Vinti talks about growing Cloudflare's enterprise business 80% year over year, the moment Michelle Zatlyn walked into her first all-hands, how she uses AI to prepare for customer meetings, and why sales is really a math problem.

Shutdowns, power outages, and conflict: a review of Q1 2026 Internet disruptions

In the first quarter of 2026, government-directed shutdowns figured prominently, with prolonged Internet blackouts in both Uganda and Iran, a stark contrast to the lack of observed government-directed shutdowns in the same quarter a year prior. This quarter, we also observed a number of Internet disruptions caused by power outages, including three separate collapses of Cuba's national electrical grid.

Cloudflare Just Shipped 20+ Features for AI Agents in One Week

The conversation explores why the Internet and the cloud were not designed for an AI-agent world, and what infrastructure needs to change as software agents begin generating code, running workflows, and interacting directly with online services. Ming and Anni walk through several announcements from Cloudflare’s Agents Week, including new tools for agent infrastructure, memory, developer workflows, AI Gateway, email, artifacts, browser automation, security, and agent-ready websites.
