Cloudflare have integrated Pi Durable in the agents SDK. Really happy how it turned out. Props to @mattzcarey et al. for getting this done on such short notice. It "just works" :) https://github.com/cloudflare/agents/blob/df9c0ef6c4541c5552b5ce4d6ba292162dbd0908/packages/agents/src/harness/pi/harness.ts
@badlogicgames
You told us Cloudflare can feel like a black box. Today, we’re taking eight major steps to change that. Just ask your agent to query your observability data with cf, our agent-first CLI for the Cloudflare API. https://cfl.re/3VECjml https://x.com/Cloudflare/status/2106007550248325543

@CloudflareDev
Didn’t build Cloudflare OS to be a product for customers, but every company we showed it to said: we need exactly that! So we open sourced it and gave it away. But some orgs wanted a managed version. So here you go…
@eastdakota
What 🫣🫣 https://try.cloudflare.com/ What a time to be alive man….
@suganthan
It's killing me that @Cloudflare has invented a new set of rules called "Precursor Rules" that are separate from every other bot protection rule. To exempt an API, two rules now need to be added under both "Security rules" and "Precursor rules" Please fix @eastdakota 🥺
@iangcarroll
✨ Okay with lots of help from @javilopen and his Spanish scraping friends I've managed to vibe code my own @Scrapingbee alternative and replace my $249/mo Scrapingbee plan with my own $1/mo scraper running on my VPS! First I tried OpenSERP, an open source project that seems freshly maintained but it didn't work on my VPS IP or laptop IP and got blocked fast Then I tried to use residential IP proxies from IPRoyal but they were already quite tainted IPs meaning Google already knew they were scrapers and just blocked about 60% of them already, not so great, also didn't work! Then I discovered OpenSERP uses a vanilla headless Chrome, Google instantly detects that and blocks that, so literally the entire repo is useless cause it won't even work? I don't get why they don't say that in the docs? OpenSERP is even worse than just basic CURL, as my AI said: "plain curl got 7% blocked but OpenSERP's headless browser got 100% blocked" So then I just built my own with Playwright and a real Google Chrome on my VPS, headful and persistent context, and slow pacing like every 30 seconds or so And I got some better residential IP recommendations (which I can't tell you because thenhey t stop working!) Now I'm at about 90% success rate, which is similar or better than Scrapingbee And it costs me ~$1/mo (measured by GBs, obviously for text scraping I barely use a lot) instead of the $249/mo I paid Scrapingbee! My only remaining SaaS now are: - Cloudflare Domains - Cloudflare Email Sending - Cloudflare R2 Storage - Backblaze B2 for backups - Hetzner for all my servers for all my sites (VPS) - xAI for all LLMs for all my sites (so many things like moderation, writing emails, anything)
@levelsio
✨ I replaced all these SaaS with my own vibe coded now, so about $25,000/mo savings: - Weather API -> My own vibe coded weather service using Norway's meteorology API - Image resizing API -> My own vibe coded image resizing API with NodeJS's Sharp + Redis (saves ~$1,500/mo) - Google Vision NSFW detection -> My own $0/mo vibe coded NSFW detection service with Python's NudeNET (saves ~$2,500/mo) - Cloudflare Streaming -> My own $0/mo Nginx VPS video streaming (saves ~$250/mo) - API Flash -> My own $0/mo screenshot service (for social images) (saves ~$250/mo) - New Relic + IPHub -> My own $0/mo error monitoring, DDOS blocking and fleet management service (called error2telegram) (saves ~$250/mo) - Human moderators -> My own moderation on all my sites with @xAI (saves ~$10,000/mo) - IFTTT -> Telegram bot (saves ~$100/mo) - Photopea as editor inside Photo AI -> Vibe coded my own photo editor (saves ~$100/mo) - Mapbox -> Vibecoded my own free replacement with OpenFreeMaps (saves ~$500/mo) - Uptimerobot -> My own $5/mo Uptime Canary app running on Kuma (saves ~$50/mo) - Ghost blog -> My own $0/mo blog platform - Customer support -> @featurebasehq + AI support bot (saves $5,000/mo) - Scrapingbee/SerpAPI -> My own $1/mo scraper with Patchright (save ~$250/mo) I think I have reached my final limit of replacing my SaaS services as I have these left, but that'd mean becoming an ICANN registrar (I don't want 😁), managing my own email (I don't want), managing my own hard drives at home in a storage (I don't want) and managing my own servers at home too (I don't want) and running my own GPU rig at home (I don't want): - Cloudflare Domains - Cloudflare Email Sending - Cloudflare R2 Storage - Backblaze B2 for backups - Hetzner for all my servers for all my sites (VPS) - xAI for all LLMs for all my sites (so many things like moderation, writing emails, anything)

When someday people ask how Cloudflare got into tax prep…
@eastdakota
🤯 Holy shit… I can’t believe I’m giving this away for free. A month ago, 175K people watched me open-source Larasend Instead of slowing down, I added a full team inbox, @Cloudflare sending + receiving, and rebuilt the product around it. The biggest update yet 👇
@vijaytupakula
properly installed the @cloudflare MCP yesterday and it's already paying off. was setting up Sign in With Apple for https://granite.co and there was an SPF issue and claude just fixed it immediately for me. 🧙♂️

for those of you that have very serious applications deployed on cloudflare, do you really manage it all with a wrangler config?

If you wanna do it yourself, this is how: Buy (~15 min) 1. Cheap VPS from Hetzner or DigitalOcean (~€5-10/mo), Ubuntu 24.04, tick automatic backups at checkout 2. Add your domain to Cloudflare (free plan), switch nameservers at your registrar 3. Install Termius (SSH app) + Tailscale (private network) on laptop and phone, free tiers Lock it down (~20 min) 4. Generate an SSH key in Termius, add it to the VPS at creation. Keys only, never passwords 5. SSH in once via public IP, run updates, install Tailscale on the server, log it in 6. Disable Tailscale key expiry for the server (admin console, one click) 7. Verify you can SSH via the server's Tailscale 100.x address BEFORE the next step 8. Provider firewall: delete all inbound rules, allow only port 443 from Cloudflare's published IP ranges. No public SSH at all. You enter through the tunnel 9. Test from outside: public IP times out on everything, Tailscale IP connects. Server is now invisible 10. One SSH key per device. Phone gets its own key added to authorized_keys Install the brain (~5 min) 11. apt install tmux then install Claude Code (official native installer, one curl command) 12. Run Claude Code inside a tmux session so it survives disconnects and keeps working while your laptop is closed Hand over everything else 13. Write ONE long handover prompt telling Claude Code: the server facts, the security model (so it doesn't "fix" it), folder conventions (/srv/http/domain per project, one tmux session each), your preferences, and standing rules (confirm before destructive actions, new services bind to localhost/Tailscale only) 14. Make it write all of that into CLAUDE.md first, so every future session already knows everything 15. Backups before features: nightly job pushing your data to GitHub, tested, before a single page exists 16. Then let it install the web server (Caddy + Cloudflare DNS plugin plays nicest with the locked firewall), set up SQLite, deploy the first page From then on you never administer the server again. You open Termius from anywhere, on any device, and just say what you want. BOSH
@robj3d3
☁️ I made my own little Cloudflare called Pietflare, it's a DDOS and probe detector with AI and with a central IP / ASN / country block list Each server (VPS) sends suspicious probes, or DDOS attempts etc, from the access logs to the central admin and each server pulls a central blocklist every minute and blocks it in Nginx It has a central dashboard where I can see any threats and then instantly block them but preferably the AI blocks it by itself
@levelsio
A few months ago my kids started vibecoding little web games with Cursor and wanted their friends to play them. GitHub Pages was fine until the games needed real backends, so I hacked together a setup where each game was a folder in one repo that deployed to a Hetzner box on every push. That held up until we shipped FULL SEND for Vibe Jam 2026 and it took off with 38,000+ players. The duct tape needed to become something real, so I rebuilt it properly and pulled it out into its own project. It turns one Linux server into a push-to-deploy host for many apps. The whole thing is a single Go binary that installs and drives Docker, Kamal, Cloudflare, Tailscale, and GitHub for you. After that: - Each app is a GitHub repo. - A git push is live in <5 seconds. - Deploys are zero-downtime. - Each app runs in its own container. - Automatic Cloudflare DNS and TLS tunnels. - SQLite-aware backup and restore. It's deliberately single server using convention over configuration, so for a typical app there's no YAML or Dockerfile to write. The idea is that one decent VPS can reliably run all your projects without per-app bills or piles of infra config. It's built on top of Kamal, so it's basically a Kamal wrapper for the "lots of apps on one server" case, with the Cloudflare, Tailscale, DNS, and backup glue wired up by convention. Setup is one interactive command on a fresh Linux box, which walks you through connecting everything. If you also have a bunch of projects you want to run on a single server, tell your Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or favorite AI agent to grab a VPS and try it for you. It's fully open source and you can customize it to your liking:
@dvassallo
I gave Fable this tweet and let it crank in ultracode. It created a fully functioning multiplayer markdown editor with obsidian style editing, version history, sharing with email invites, cli sync with a skill, image support, deployed it to cloudflare and bought a domain.
@sawyerhood
Things I started using today that I wish I started using earlier: 1. Terraform for my Cloudflare Accounts. 2. 1Password CLI for Tokens and Secrets.
@Jilles
Spending some time tinkering on a flight and realizing that, yeah, all I need is Cloudflare. To do anything. * Compute: Workers * Storage: D1, KV, R2 * IdP: sign-in with Cloudflare through Access * Domain: Cloudflare Registrar * Email: send and receive * AI: Workers AI * Frontier Lab AI: no lock-in, route it to AI Gateway * Containers: sure Create an MCP portal and have an AI agent running in the cloud talk to my Oura and Withings data and email me a dashboard report as if it is my own personal operating system? Yup. I have worked here for 8+ years and sometimes even I just can't believe the platform the team has built is real...
@LakeAustinBlvd
Still limited by compute, so I built a thing that runs codex in the cloud, powered by @Cloudflare firecracker boxes (and since that's not beefy enough for larger projects, tests are run via crabbox) Uses Ghostty ofc, via WebAssembly. Codex replicated itself, basically.
@steipete
By far THE most annoying part of running a business for me is collecting receipts for my accountant Every month my accountants hounds me for invoices and receipts of every single expense I did, doesn't matter how tiny like $0.50, sometimes also for income (I don't know why) Most companies charge monthly so that means collecting 12 invoices per year at least One reason I am canceling so many SaaS is not even the cost, it's just that I hate bookkeeping so much so I think if I don't spend the money, I don't need to collect invoices and receipts for every single payment every month (also I like extremely high profit margins like 99.99%) I'm down to just about 10 companies I pay now, like Cloudflare, Hetzner, Backblaze etc. so that means only ~120 invoices to collect per year cause most are paid monthly Yes I have an automatic email filter that forwards invoices to my accountant but many companies do NOT send you an automatic invoice by email So you're talking about logging in to 10 websites, them sending you a 2FA code by email, opening your email, entering the code, trying to find wherever the Billing page is hidden, going to Invoices, opening the invoice, clicking Download to DPF (if it even exists) This week I tried to improve this, my accountant uses Xero, so I made a Xero API key, gave it to Claude Code, and asked it to login and figure stuff out, then it just asks me which expenses still need a receipt and a note, I find it and drag the PDF or screenshot into Claude Code and it resolves it Next step is letting it login to all my vendors and also download the invoice by itself which seems very very possible Much easier!
@levelsio
So @loaibassam asked me my stack recently, I replied: FREE: Nginx web server on Ubuntu (free) Auto upgrade with unattended-upgrade (free) Scheduled workers with Cron (free) Vanilla PHP for site backend (free) Vanilla CSS (free) Vanilla JS for code (free) Game servers I do in vanilla Node JS (free) SQLite for DB (free) Python for tool scripts (free) Cloudflare with Cloudflare tunnel for DNS/SSL (free) Tailscale for security (free) OpenFreeMap for maps (free) CHEAP: xAI for AI API (cheap) Stripe for payments (cheap) Cloudflare R2 for image storage (cheap) Hetzner VPS ($4/mo) Cloudflare domain reg (~$10/year) So about ~$5/mo total costs with about ~5M unique visitors per month per site (these are site averages)
@levelsio
@aviflombaum @Cloudflare today's victims were headless browser APIs. switched to cloudflare's browser run.
@Shpigford
P.S. this Mapbox cost is another cost detected by my new Situation Monitor dashboard with AI insights, it scouts all my projects insights on what to improve A few weeks ago it detected the Cloudflare bill was too high and we found they made a mistake which they quickly fixed and refunded Really nice!
@levelsio
I’ve spent the past 3 weeks trying to port a handful of WordPress sites to EmDash CMS, a new open source CMS from Cloudflare But it might all be for naught… I believe my love of Cloudflare + excitement for "the shiny new thing" blinded me towards what I really need for my business case After banging my head with build times, load times, etc I had to step back Now I’ve spent the a few hours today really challenging my assumptions and looking at other options like Payload CMS, SonicJS, and some git-based CMS solutions like Alinea and Sveltia I'm still not sure what I'll end up on, but I am excited about what we're building tl;dr I may have wasted TONS of time and thousands of dollars of engineering contractor time on my team for the wrong solution!! FML I've been hammering Opus 4.7 and Gstack’s skills to help me think it through, plus getting second opinions from Gemini and Codex. I'll try getting a second opinion on my PRD from GPT 5.5 too Happy Friday! Any suggestions appreciated
@nickgraynews
