Cloudflare

What is it?

Cloudflare is a cloud-based platform that sits between users and application servers. It delivers content through a global edge network while protecting applications from security threats and performance bottlenecks.

What does it do?

Cloudflare accelerates content delivery via CDN, protects against DDoS attacks, secures traffic with WAF and bot management, manages DNS, and enables edge logic through Workers for serverless execution.

Where is it used?

Cloudflare is widely used for websites, SaaS platforms, APIs, e-commerce sites, mobile backends, and enterprise applications that require fast global delivery and strong security at scale.

When & why it emerged

Cloudflare was founded in 2009 to make the internet faster and more secure. It emerged as a solution to reduce latency, mitigate attacks, and offload infrastructure complexity using a global edge network.
