Anurag (@anurag_gharat) reportedSystem Design Essentials #19 What is a CDN? Imagine your website is hosted in Mumbai and a user from New York requests your website. The request has to physically travel across the network to reach your hosted server, and then the same for the response. This adds latency. The site will be faster to load up for the user in India but slower for anyone outside of India. CDN, which stands for Content Delivery Network, is a network of geographically distributed servers that cache and deliver your content from a location physically closer to the user instead of the request travelling back to the origin server. How does it work? The origin server is the actual server where all the real content lives Content gets cached on Edge Servers all across the world. Static content like CSS, JS, HTML, images gets cached on these edge servers and served through them. Every user request is routed to the nearest Edge server. In case of cache hit -> return immediately In case of a cache miss -> get from the origin server and create a copy on the edge server, and return the response CDNs are best suited for static or infrequently changing content — not real-time, highly dynamic data like a live bank balance. Common CDN providers: Cloudflare, Amazon CloudFront

Eric Falcão (@efalcao) reportedhow's it going with @Cloudflare email sending? what's good? what's bad? we want to know!

justajackiedoingathing (@Jackieisdum) reported@sonemic Hey I know you guys mentioned a while ago you were working on people getting frequent Cloudflare issues but since then it's only seemed to get worse on my end. I've gotten stuck in verification looping multiple times (especially this week) for up to like an hour each time

MoroJS (@Moro_Js) reported@Cloudflare Nice. Customer zero is the ultimate code review, and finding your own bugs before anyone else does is a hell of a way to ship. Building internal tools on the same edge infrastructure makes it easier to reason about load. Did EmDash end up tighter than expected, or did the Workers scale absorb most of it?

Alisina (@Alisina_base) reported@opencode @Cloudflare Cloudflare optimizations pushing inference errors near zero shows real tuning wins

Sanndal (@agrasana_) reported@Cloudflare 3/ old payment rails can't handle that volume. cards have real overhead per swipe — $0.003 through a card network makes no sense. invoicing assumes a human deciding once a month, not a machine deciding every second.
-
Robin Ebers (@robinebers) reportedwanted to give @Cloudflare a shot for storage and workers but then realized they don't have monthly spending caps?! any bug, abuse or some vibe coded **** could potentially generate thousands of dollars and there's no way to prevent it? you can set up a 'notification' - yeah great, thanks what the actual

Mike in’ Software (@mikeinsoftware) reported@soham_nayak04 @marclou How can an analytics service break after 470 users? And why note have a local one on your server + use cloudflare webstats

Joey (@joeyjurjens) reported@fuolpit @Cloudflare Maybe make a Github issue? :)

Yulianto (@iamyulianto2) reported@opencode @Cloudflare And now you've got plenty of error - 500 internal server error. I'm not even using the free model.. Please tend to your opencode-go service

JohnNguyen 🔆 (@ThuyTrang108) reportedThe next wave of crypto users might not be humans, but AI. As AI agents become increasingly capable of autonomously searching for information, calling APIs, purchasing data, and executing tasks on behalf of humans, they require a way to make payments and stablecoins are emerging as a highly suitable option. Coinbase’s x402 protocol has processed over 165 million transactions totaling approximately $50 million; nearly 99% of these utilized USDC, with an average value of just around 30 cents per transaction. These figures signal the formation of an entirely new market: millions of automated, 24/7 micropayments occurring between software systems. As major players like Visa, Mastercard, Cloudflare, and MoonPay begin building infrastructure to facilitate payments by AI agents within controlled limits, stablecoins could evolve beyond mere money-transfer tools for humans to become the payment system for the AI agent economy.

Robin Ebers (@robinebers) reported@nathanclark_ @Cloudflare @vercel because i want to understand what's going on this also does not fix this issue
-
solopath (@pathlessknown) reportedI've started making separate accounts recently so it is reliving to see this is a norm I do also think cloudflare needs better billing support and/or better starter templates so ppl get all these primitives and systems by default (i strongly agree and like Michael's approach)
-
Davis | Indie App Dev (@werigan_non) reportedFixing a Cloudflare DNS or SSL issue is only part of the workflow. The useful next step is to record what changed, verify the domain again, and keep the check available for future updates. A one-time fix becomes a learning loop when the next person can understand it.

Yeti - (@Yetee_) reportedHave to say Cloudflare Zero Trust is slept on, are many people using this? You literally download Cloudflare Warp / One client and have control over everything network connected with that computer. Makes IT Administration so easy
-
Alex (@AToggs) reportedHello @Cloudflare Your abuse form SUCKS! Maybe you have this by design so it's difficult to report abuse, so you can keep hosting bad bots, making you money instead of banning them and loose money. Thoughts? 🤔 I keep reporting abuse to you and you do nothing. @ICANN

Pramod Gupta (@pramodhq) reportedDayravel is getting good traction at this early stage. Now it’s time to start adding more user-focused features. - Like destinations. - Bookmark destinations. - Newsletter. But first, I need authentication, and for that I need a reliable email service for transactions mail and email services. I’ll be choosing one from: - Cloudflare Email - Resend - Brevo - Amazon SES - Postmark

Winston Smith (@nwp) reported@robinebers @Cloudflare @vercel I really want to use CF, but it’s just so much work and half the things I try don’t work as documented. Vercel just works. So, I ship with Vercel and if the costs become a problem, I’ll do the painful work of moving to CF.

Jamie Madden (@dcwhatwhat) reported@robj3d3 @vercel My own server + cloudflare, I never have to worry about hitting limits. That being said, AI indexing has chewed through multiple hundreds of GB's indexing the same things. Most ignore my robots.txt and any other 'stop indexing me' Cloudflare blocking has worked.

piyush (@piyushyrr) reportedwas actually wondering how Cloudflare or ngrok tunnels work under the hood. been using them for so long, but never really cared about what was happening behind the scenes.

🥔🥔🥔 (@argofowl) reported@robinebers @Cloudflare twitter drama this never happens to me been using cloudflare for a year, never run into a single issue lol
-
Michael Esteves (@_Mikie_) reported@RhysSullivan @sergical @Cloudflare Is there a way to turn off connections so I can temporarily disable a specific connection if I’m not working with that connections data. ie two different work connections and don’t want the agent to see one while working on a different project
-
Webmaster (@web_mstr) reported@hispanicnomad @MailerLite Never trust any corp with your data,always set up auto backups. In the last 2 weeks stupid abuse automations took down 2 of my websites,although they reverted it in few hours coz it was bs I had to move both coz they got banned on cloudflare,hosting and I had to fight domains too

Sarah Rogue (@SarahRogue81) reported@YashHustle_22 sorry i can't narrow it down to one i need both Cloudflare and Google Cloud
