This Week in NET

Welcome to our weekly review of stories from our blog and other elsewhere, covering a range of topics from product announcements, tools and features to disruptions on the Internet. João Tomé is joined by our CTO, John Graham-Cumming.

In this week's program, we discuss one year of war in Ukraine and the related Internet trends, cyber attacks, and resilience of the country. We go over Wildebeest, an open-source, easy-to-deploy ActivityPub and Mastodon-compatible server built entirely on top of Cloudflare's Supercloud. We also give some attention to DDoS attacks given that Cloudflare mitigated a record-breaking 71 million request-per-second DDoS attack. There’s also time to talk about Zero Trust and how the Chief Zero Trust Officer could be a new role for a new era of cybersecurity. Last but not least, some highlights on a deep dive on a replacement in Rust for one of the oldest and least-well understood parts of the Cloudflare infrastructure, cf-html.

Welcome to our weekly review of stories from our blog and elsewhere, from products, tools and announcements to disruptions on the Internet.

João Tomé is joined by our CTO, John Graham-Cumming. This week’s program is a special edition to talk about our Supercloud and Developer Week 2022. We go through many of the announcements of new products, tools and features.

Cloudflare’s been building the alternative to that traditional cloud into our network and our developer platform for years. The Supercloud. The term may be new, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not real. Today, we have over a million developers building on the Supercloud. Each of those developers wants to get code running on one machine and perfect it.

Check all the announcements at the Developer Week Hub
