FILM DB | ۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗh (@FemiSuccess7) reported@OzorNdiOzor Yankee businesses know how to run a business properly I made a mistake with one of my websites on Cloudflare and made over 60 billion database writes in a month that become like $80 of bill to clear, I texted their support and explained to them and they cut it to $6 immediately!

Phil Smith (@itsPhil) reported@David_mduw Spin it up, yes. Understand what you built, or what you may have built wrong, not so much. The issues for the non-technical user are going to be things like not understanding when they are trying to build on a server-less platform like Cloudflare, when in fact, they are prompting their way into a site that really needs server side processes. The LLM may or may not point this out to the user, but it will continue trying to build it anyway if the user keeps prompting.

Martin Stepanek 🏳️🌈 (@techseovitals) reported🟣 Underrated #TechSEO Tip GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot all respect robots.txt. Block them and your content never appears in AI answers. Worth flagging that Perplexity's compliance has been disputed – Cloudflare found evidence they used undeclared crawlers to bypass robots.txt. I see site owners block these crawlers without realizing they killed an entire traffic channel. Check your robots.txt right now. Look for blanket `Disallow: /` rules targeting AI user agents. You might be invisible in AI search and not even know it.

Ajay (@AjayCodeWiz) reported@VanillaCache I just bought max plan. Using it via vs code extension. Does the web version covers everything. Mobile web version puts things in container. And running the dev server accessing is so difficult. Cloudflare and ngrok not working. Had to push it to vercel which deploys all the branches including the branch the claude is working on. But still slow like building takes time

bigdatachads (@bigdatachads) reportedI've been building AI phone agents on @Cloudflare for a while now. v1. a Python container, fighting for every millisecond. v2. no container, the whole call on the edge. that was the real work. now that I have the stack down, I spent last weekend messing around. this is v3, a cartoon you talk to that remembers you and gets heckled by a second AI. all on Cloudflare primitives. three teardowns, first one tomorrow. follow along. @CloudflareDev

NOVA 🇷🇺 (@NOVA360HD) reported📌 The Illusion of Decentralization: Who Owns the Backbone of the Internet & AI in 2026? (Updated List) As you scroll daily, you might think you're navigating thousands of independent sites and apps. The reality? 90% of global data traffic flows through channels controlled by a select few. Here is who actually controls the world's digital backend: 1. The Cloud Big Three If these three companies went offline, half of the internet’s apps, banking systems, and aviation networks would vanish in seconds: * Amazon Web Services (AWS): Controls roughly a third of the entire global cloud market. It hosts giants like Netflix, Airbnb, and even highly sensitive government databases. * Microsoft Azure: The largest backbone for massive corporations, government institutions, and global digital identity systems. * Google Cloud: The third engine powering YouTube, massive big data research, and global startups. 2. The Gatekeepers These are the invisible shields you rarely see, but they control and protect your access to the internet: * Cloudflare: Manages and secures roughly 20-25% of all global web traffic. If Cloudflare goes down, half of the world's news outlets and crypto exchanges drop with it. * Akamai: The oldest and largest Content Delivery Network (CDN) in the world. They dictate how videos, live streams, and games reach billions of people without lagging. 3. The Hardware Monopoly Software is useless without processors, and this is where the greatest monopoly lies: * NVIDIA: Controls over 80% of the AI chip and data center GPU market. They essentially decide who has the compute power to train AI (like OpenAI and Meta) and who gets left behind. * TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor): The Taiwanese giant that manufactures almost all the world's advanced chips for Apple, Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm. If TSMC stopped, the production of global smartphones and military hardware would freeze. 4. The Submarine Cables (Who Owns the Physical Internet?) The internet isn't in the sky (satellites only cover a tiny fraction). 99% of global data travels through cables at the bottom of the ocean: * SubCom & ASN: The two companies responsible for laying and maintaining most of the world's underwater fiber-optic cables. * The Big Tech Alliance: Today, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon have become the largest investors and tenants of these cables, meaning they now physically own the routes data takes between continents. 5. The Institutional Masters If you dig deep into the shares of every media, tech, aviation, and defense company globally, you will always find three names repeating as the top institutional investors: * BlackRock (Manages over $10 Trillion in assets). * Vanguard Group (Manages roughly $8 Trillion in assets). * State Street These funds don't run the companies day-to-day, but they hold massive voting power to dictate board members and the strategic direction of these giants (from Apple and Microsoft to oil and defense contractors). 💡 The Bottom Line: The internet is no longer the free, distributed network it was once touted to be. It has evolved into a highly centralized infrastructure where a few massive corporations and investment funds dictate what you see, what you hear, and how your data flows.

Matt Carey (@mattzcarey) reportedDay 0 support for MCP servers on Cloudflare, with Workers OAuth Provider. Thanks to our customers for working with us to ship this for the wider ecosystem :) Sounds small but this is massive for MCP auth in large companies.
-
Richard Sever (@cshperspectives) reported@manuelrivascruz working on solutions to this. the problem as I'm sure you can imagine is like so many sites we are being hammered by LLM bots in addition to all the DDOS attacks, so (again like many others) use services like Cloudflare to ensure human readers maintain access
-
PunkXBT (@PunkXBT_) reported@dr00shie that’s not even bad luck at that point, that’s just infra choosing violence specifically on your deploy window lol. cloudflare said “not today” twice in a row. @dr00shie follow back? let’s grow the circle

Fardeem (@FardeemM) reportedIf you're on your way to building a billion dollar company that involves a web app, here are some of my notes on architecting the frontend. if you don't do this, it's probably fine but one day you'll hire someone to fix it but truly that person could be doing some other higher value thing if you make some key optimizations on day 1 you don't even have to learn anything you're gonna tell your agents to do it anyways! okay here it goes: - Make your server code generate a openapi spec which then generates all the relevant client side code. Never do this by hand. Typing backend types instead of generating them should be banned - You need to make a decision on how the client talks to the backend. rest/graphql works in which case please just use tanstack query. other libraries will look similar but tanstack query truly is goated. - if you want linear style sync setups or offline mode, think about this HARD and architect it from day 1. Bolting this on later is so tedious. - People like using plain react router but things have gotten a lot better since then. Try their new framework mode or just even use tanstack router. Use route data loaders. - If you store a lot of state in query params, make that a first class citizen and make sure its type safe. use nuqs or tanstack query. - Most apps just need a single state management situation for server state and thats it. If you have other bespoke needs, i have quite like zustand and xstate/store. - If you have a super interactive app where things come in and out of view, theres a lot of frontend state to maintain, music is playing and what not, lock in and learn xstate. Trust me if you wanna keep ur sanity, you need to model ur frontend as a state machine otherwise you're gonna be deep in useEffect hell - React compiler is here my friends, the days of useMemo and useCallback are gone. Update your priors accordingly - Tailwind is easy and fun but makes it really hard to maintain a large app with consistent styling. You need a "agent-first design system/component library" but maybe this is a rant for another day - Don't be afraid to hack your routing library to fit your needs more closely. A lot of apps have "drawers" to show additional info. You should 100% be able to say "here's a route, make it a drawer" and everything should be handled from there. - Managing loading and error states using isPending and isError is madness. Lean into Suspense and ErrorBoundary. - Figuring out a blessed path for websockets and SSE on day 1 i think will pay dividends in the long term if you're building anything AI related. - If you're building a SPA, don't use next.js. it literally makes no sense. Why would you do this. - Definitely deploy on Cloudflare or vercel. There are other services but trust, there have weird missing features. - Assuming you build something people want, the next job is to build the factory so it can efficiently build the thing. Act accordingly.

That Boosted Snep 🔜 Megaplex (@witch_the_snep) reported@joesmith1457 @DoorDash_Help It looks like its cloudflare thats having issue. That who hosts doordash’s website

Armeet (@armeetjatyani) reported@tomhaerter Primarily Cloudflare now. GCP support is extremely sluggish

Aly (@alishteinn) reportedMost Next.js websites are entirely too slow. I just boosted the Cursor Baku community site performance from 77 to 98. It is deployed on @Cloudflare, and the fixes were incredibly simple. If you want lightning-fast load times, steal these 4 tips: • Resize images to their actual display size before committing • Set minimumCacheTTL in next.config to cache image at the edge • Always set sizes on Next.js <Image> or retina fetches 4× the bytes • Wrap R2 reads with caches.default to serve media from the edge Fast load times build trust. Stop losing users over a slow website.

Aidan Quinn (@BwcDeals) reported@EcomCJ Man email me. This damn site dms I almost never get! I’m sorry. I’m close to passing Akamai. I can do it now with proxies but it’s expensive and I know I can do it without them. I’m doing it with Cloudflare and PerimeterX already.

Errrg-XL (@ergonautgg) reported@TapTools clearly has zero plans to open source the services they brought to Cardano. What exactly was their problem keeping this site afloat (dont you use Cloudflare?) after receiving hundreds of thousands in treasury/Catalyst funding?
-
Malte Landwehr (@MalteLandwehr) reported@EddCoates So many solutions: · Cloudflare/CDN · Caching · Free API without authentication I once worked for a website with 90% bot traffic. This issue is manageable.

Ann the cat herder (@ann1knit) reportedIf cloudflare is so buggy and easily broken or hacked, why the frell hasn't someone come up with a better system or solution?
-
brale (@brale_xyz) reportedhis is not just a blockchain story either. @NIST finalized three post-quantum standards in 2024. @Cloudflare says more than two-thirds of TLS traffic through its network now uses post-quantum key exchange. The migration has already started.
-
Nikhil Agarwal (@nikhildp) reported@dinasaur_404 @Cloudflare Yes looking for billing cap. How do you test dynamic workers as well as dynamic workflows in local dev? We had a disastrous outcome of losing $800 because the deployed code ran into infinite loop using dynamic workflow. Support team was not at all helpful.
-
Michael Williamson (@BeachTruck) reported@EddCoates There's always Cloudflare. It kind of sucks having to give up SSL encrypted content to a 3rd party (they re-issue another SSL connection), but sucks less than getting ddos's by these stupid clanker suckbots.

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedHERMES AGENT JUST TURNED WHATSAPP INTO A REAL AI WORKER But one tiny setup mistake can leave the entire bot completely silent. What Just Dropped: → Official WhatsApp Business Cloud integration → Run Hermes as a private assistant, team bot, or customer support agent → Text one WhatsApp number and get AI replies directly inside the chat Built Like A Proper App: ✓ Secure webhooks and official Meta support ✓ Voice notes, media, read receipts, and typing indicators ✓ Interactive approval buttons when Hermes needs confirmation The Setup: → Run `hermes whatsapp cloud` → Connect your Meta Business account and WhatsApp number → Use Cloudflare Tunnel to expose your local Hermes gateway securely Three Mistakes To Avoid: ✓ Use the 15–17 digit Phone Number ID, not your real phone number ✓ Replace the 24-hour test token with a permanent system-user token ✓ Subscribe to the `messages` webhook field or the bot will never receive anything For a reliable WhatsApp agent, use the official Cloud API path instead of the unofficial personal-account bridge.

Iqra (@AiWithIqra) reported6. Default DNS Resolution Lag What it does: When your TV tries to load the image thumbnails for an app like Netflix, it uses your Internet Service Provider's default DNS server to find out where those images live on the internet. Think of DNS as the internet's phone book. Why it kills performance: ISP phone books are notoriously slow and incredibly outdated. Often, your TV is not actually lagging at all. The processor is fine, but the TV is frozen waiting for your internet provider to tell it where to download the movie poster graphics. *********** it: Settings → Network → Network Status → IP Settings → DNS Setting → Enter Manually. Change the numbers to 8.8.8.8 (Google) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare). You will literally watch your streaming apps load twice as fast.

sco2084 (@vega_yaa) reported@rohit_jsfreaky What if I subscribe to private DNS servers ..... let's say cloudflare? Will that help? I mean I'll put those DNS swrvers in my laptops TCP/IP config with ISP provider for my home internet.
