is building out an amazing engineering team in Lisbon that shipped a lot of what was announced during developer week. The biggest problem is finding great product managers in Lisbon. If you know anyone please DM or
Lisbon is great. (I’m sure Porto is too, for lack of ambiguity, and look forward to visiting likely later this year. And, to be clear, when I say nice things about Lisbon I’m really saying nice things about all of Portugal. Cool?) Looking forward to next trip to visit team here.
Cloudflare tshirt and other fun swag shipped anywhere in the world to whoever first identifies me an John Graham-Cumming (our CTO) in the photo. (Cloudflare employees not eligible. 🤫)
"So the big lesson from Nvidia is not that U.S. industrial policy should support Nvidia — it’s that U.S. industrial policy should support the scaling up of startups in the chip industry as a whole."

is joined by Cloudflare CTO John Graham-Cumming, and they are revisiting the announcements from #DeveloperWeek, with a special focus on how Cloudflare will be powering, and powered by, AI. Check it out.
Today we are launching a ton of exciting things for web developers!
I'm thrilled to be able to share all the details in the blog below.
As a big part of this launch we built a new CLI we call C3 (short for create-cloudflare cli).
One command to deploy any web app! twitter.com/CloudflareDev/…
cloudflare d1 updates are 🔥🔥🔥🔸 3700% (!!) faster than before (on northwinds demo)
🔸 easy querying from the dashboard

We've been heads down iterating on D1, and we've just shipped a major new version that's substantially faster, more reliable, and introduces Time Travel: the ability to restore a D1 database to any point in time. Read more: https://cfl.re/41PUrau#DeveloperWeek

"Our integration with Workers for Platforms has been instrumental to our success in providing fast, globally-available, and secure storefronts for our merchants."
It's almost exactly one year ago to the date since we launched Workers for Platforms, our Workers offering for SaaS businesses.
And now that Workers for Platforms includes new features, let’s take a look back at why we built it! https://bit.ly/431MQqc
Lots of newer Cloudflare features (like Access or Zaraz) are built on Workers, but we're also gradually transitioning all of the old traditional CDN features to be built on Workers too, with benefits for performance and our own development velocity.
Cloudflare was originally built as native services, but we’re building more and more of it on Cloudflare itself. This post describes how and why we’re doing this. https://cfl.re/3ME1r5W#DeveloperWeek
We are incredibly stoked that our friends at LangChain have announced LangChainJS Support for Cloudflare Workers! In this post we'll show you how to build a sample application. https://cfl.re/3obaHVA#DeveloperWeek

Know that crazy German court ruling where 9.9.9.9 has to block a site globally because it was found illegal locally and users could use VPNs to access it? Same logic would mean a Montana court can now find that TikTok must now be banned globally. #TeletubbyInternet
Montana governor signs TikTok ban into law — our story here on this big moment in a very intense time for the app and its future in the United States https://nytimes.com/2023/05/17/business/montana-tiktok-ban.html…
Play this out in every court around the world and what you get is an Internet that contain only what falls below the lowest common denominator of global regional standards. Devoid of news, interest, or opinion. Call it the #TeletubbyInternet. Vapid and inoffensive. 2/3
This is an extremely bad local court decision. It inherently violates basic principles of the Rule of Law and the sovereignty of jurisdictions beyond the court’s reach. How dare a local court in Germany dictate what non-German citizens cannot see? 1/3
