Built on Cloudflare!

it’s out! managed agents on Cloudflare Sandboxes 🔥

This is so cool. Less friction = more builders!

Let’s go

Crazy to think that in 2017, Cloudflare was just where you went for DNS and DDoS protection Today? You can build, deploy, and scale a global company at lightening speed. Here's how it's progressed: 🚀 2017: Workers, Stream, Cloudflare for SaaS 🔑 2018: Workers KV, Cloudflare Tunnel ⚡️ 2020: Durable Objects, Pages 🪣 2021: Images, R2, Email Routing, D1 📨 2022: Queues, Pub/Sub, Turnstile, Workers for Platforms, Workers Analytics Engine, Browser Rendering, Calls 🧠 2023: Workers AI, Vectorize, AI Gateway, Hyperdrive 🔁 2024: Workflows, Pipelines 🤖 2025: Agents SDK, AI Search, Containers, Sandboxes, Realtime, Secrets Store, Workers VPC. MCP Server Portals + CodeMode ⏳ 2026: Dynamic Workers, Artifacts, Email Service, Flagship, Agent Memory I wonder what will be next?

It's Agents Week at @Cloudflare. Too much shipped to keep up with, so I made a deepfake of myself to cover the highlights. Here's the 4-minute recap. blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-to-age…

cloudflare is the ai cloud you need ⛅️ you can now access any model including gpt-5.4, opus 4.6, kimi, seedream, nano banana, … anything you need with a single api call, no vendor lock-in and we’re constantly adding more! tell us what models you’d like to see next! blog.cloudflare.com/ai-platform/

Announcing OpenCode School! A free, self-paced course that teaches you how to use OpenCode, the open-source AI coding agent. No account required. No personal data collected. Free forever. opencode.school

We're literally 8 hours into the life of @EmDashCMS being a public project: 1.3k GitHub stars, hundreds of excited posts, dozens of great pieces of feedback, a couple of lovely phone calls, and #1 on hacker news (for a bit). Great day. Thanks so much to everyone trying it out.

It's my first @Cloudflare blog, and it's a big one. We're rebuilding WordPress as if it were built today. It's end to end TypeScript, works as an Astro plugin, and has secure plugin execution in dynamic workers. It's called EmDash, try it now ⤵️ blog.cloudflare.com/emdash-wordpre…

bet cloudflare launching a wordpress successor wasn't on your 2026 bingo card but! it's wild how much (40%!!!) of the web is still wordpress. we decided it was time for a makeover. so... enter emdash — familiar look and feel, open-source (MIT), built on typescript + astro

If you are not grasping what Cloudflare have done today: - create a worker - push the raw worker to an orchestrator (Dynamic worker with registry ) - visit the browser and boom It is the simplest form of an extendable platform as a service and is going to change the industry 🤯

This is a much bigger deal than most people realize. If you don't know why, let me explain. Agents perform "work" right now by calling "tools". These are just pieces of context shoved into the context window saying "if you think you the next thing you should do falls into one of these categories, then respond with this format" — that format is the "tool" a JSONSchema response which a harness then uses to call a function. MCP, is best thought of as a way to shove more tools and context into your context window (it has a lot of shortcomings imo). The agent then has to pick which tool out of all the available tools it should call. So the more tools you have, the worse it selects the tools. @threepointone and @KentonVarda have an excellent article (blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode) where they introduced the idea of exposing the MCP tools as an SDK, so to call tools and compose them, the AI just does what it is ALREADY good at: write some code. The question, as always, is where do you run that code safely. Many have proposed sandboxes and containers as a possible solution, but these are hella slow and make the experience untenable. Thats what makes this announcement SO important, it allows you to run agent-written code in a matter of milliseconds with the explicit execution environment you specify pulled in (like a database, kv store, etc. Cloudflare calls these "bindings" btw). In practice, this means people can start building MUCH more effective agents that can *do* a lot more, because they can be exposed to more tools. Anyway, huge deal. Congrats to the CF team.

We're running eleven consecutive hackathons with a combined prize pool of over $240,000. It's called ElevenHacks. Here's how it works.

@morganlinton Welcome to the club @morganlinton

Interesting read on CF workers, something I'm starting to leverage more after learning more about them from Brian.

It’s Next.js Liberation Day. The #1 request we kept hearing: help us run Next fast and secure, without the lock-in and the costs. So we did it. We kept the amazing DX of @nextjs, without the bespoke tooling, built on @vite. We’re working with other providers to make deployment a first-class experience everywhere. Next.js belongs to everyone. blog.cloudflare.com/vinext/

Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince says Googlebot sees 3.2x more of the web than OpenAI, and 4.8x more than Microsoft. And he worries this advantage will allow Google to run away with the AI race, with no one else being able to catch them. "For every one page that OpenAI sees, Google is seeing 3.2." "What I worry about is, because Google has this unique access to the web that nobody else has, the game might just go to them. Because at the end of the day, whoever has the most data wins in the era of AI."

@craigsdennis @CloudflareDev Make your mouth mad!

I feel so incredibly lucky that I get to build new demo greenfield applications all the time at @CloudflareDev. Every week I get to experience this wild wave of impossible that just got released. I thought I'd try to capture that emotion reality show confessional style. h/t @joshuaakahn for the idea. This is what an @opencode one shot full fake marketing demo based on the @astrodotbuild template looks like these days.
