About the Cloudflare Blog The Cloudflare Blog is not a marketing tool. It's a widely-read technical publication, trusted by millions of developers, engineers, researchers, and curious minds. For over a decade, we've published deep dives into emerging technologies, detailed incident analyses, and product breakdowns that become reference points across the industry.

We hold ourselves to a high bar. Every post must educate, inspire, or meaningfully contribute to the broader technical community. We require that even product launches explain how the underlying technology works.

The blog is a company-wide effort-authored by interns and C-suite execs alike. Engineers, researchers, and product leads all contribute, often partnering with the blog team to share the story of their work in a thoughtful and accessible way.

What Makes Cloudflare Special?

We're not just a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company. We're a highly ambitious, large-scale technology company with a soul. Fundamental to our mission to help build a better Internet is protecting the free and open Internet.

Project Galileo : Since 2014, we've equipped more than 2,400 journalism and civil society organizations in 111 countries with powerful tools to defend themselves against attacks that would otherwise censor their work, technology already used by Cloudflare's enterprise customers--at no cost.

Athenian Project : In 2017, we created the Athenian Project to ensure that state and local governments have the highest level of protection and reliability for free, so that their constituents have access to election information and voter registration. Since the project, we've provided services to more than 425 local government election websites in 33 states.

1.1.1.1 : We released 1.1.1.1 to help fix the foundation of the Internet by building a faster, more secure and privacy-centric public DNS resolver. This is available publicly for everyone to use - it is the first consumer-focused service Cloudflare has ever released. Here's the deal - we don't store client IP addresses never, ever. We will continue to abide by our privacy commitment and ensure that no user data is sold to advertisers or used to target consumers.
