All About Cloudflare's Developer Week 2025 (AI, Vibe Coding, Agents, and More)

This episode is all about our second innovation week of the year: Developer Week. Host João Tomé is joined in person at Cloudflare’s London office by Ricky Robinett, VP of Developer Relations, and Craig Dennis, Developer Educator. There’s a lot to go through — new tools and announcements launched during this April week. The vibe in the developer world, with AI, agents, and code-first energy, is contagious. More people, even non-developers, are now empowered to build their own tools and applications.

A global virtual private cloud for building secure cross-cloud apps on Cloudflare Workers

Today, we’re sharing a preview of a new feature that makes it easier to build cross-cloud apps: Workers VPC. Workers VPC is our take on the traditional virtual private cloud (VPC), modernized for a network and compute that isn’t tied to a single cloud region. And we’re complementing it with Workers VPC Private Links to make building across clouds easier.

Introducing Cloudflare Secrets Store (Beta): secure your secrets, simplify your workflow

Every cloud platform needs a secure way to store API tokens, keys, and credentials — welcome, Cloudflare Secrets Store! Today, we are very excited to announce and launch Secrets Store in beta. We built Cloudflare Secrets Store to help our customers centralize management, improve security, and restrict access to sensitive values on the Cloudflare platform.

AI-powered attacks are getting more sophisticated.

AI-powered attacks are getting more sophisticated. However, AI-powered defense is evolving even faster. At Cloudflare, AI is already detecting and stopping threats faster than human researchers ever could. How? Machine learning models analyze millions of attack patterns in real-time, identifying anomalies and blocking threats before they spread. AI detects novel attack patterns before they even make headlines AI reduces false positives, helping security teams focus on real risks AI learns from past incidents, adapting faster than traditional security tools.

Cloudflare acquires Outerbase to expand database and agent developer experience capabilities

I’m thrilled to share that Cloudflare has acquired Outerbase. This is such an amazing opportunity for us, and I want to explain how we got here, what we’ve built so far, and why we are so excited about becoming part of the Cloudflare team.

Cloudflare's commitment to CISA Secure-By-Design pledge: delivering new kernels, faster

As cyber threats continue to exploit systemic vulnerabilities in widely used technologies, the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) produced best practices for the technology industry with their Secure-by-Design pledge. Cloudflare proudly signed this pledge on May 8, 2024, reinforcing our commitment to creating resilient systems where security is not just a feature, but a foundational principle.

Learn more about building with Cloudflare - with Craig Dennis

As part of our "This Week in NET" show/podcast, Craig Dennis, Developer Educator at Cloudflare, walks us through Workers — our developer platform — and some of the things both developers and non-developers can build with it. A few highlights ahead of Developer Week (April 7–11, 2025), where new features and tools — including AI and AI agents — will be announced.

Honoring Dave Täht and his contributions to a better Internet (video calls included)

Dave Täht died this week (August 11, 1965 – April 1, 2025), and Tom Strickx, Principal Network Engineer at Cloudflare, honors his contributions to help build a better Internet. Dave Täht was an American network engineer, musician, lecturer, asteroid exploration advocate, and Internet activist. Without his work, FQ-CoDel wouldn't exist — and low-latency networking, from Wi-Fi to Starlink and video calls, would likely be worse today.
