zeb (@zebassembly) reported@astuyve @boristane Yeah we aren't happy that the limitation has existed for so long either. We're working hard to try to not paint ourselves into a corner when the o11y platform we've built for Workers expands to being used for other products. There are many shortcuts we could have taken to got this shipped sooner but they may have put us in a state where we later couldn't reconcile it with tracing for another product. We're really going all-out for the o11y platform we're building within Cloudflare and that'll inevitably slow things down by preventing us from taking the easy paths.

Nicholas Preston (@Mike_Preston17) reported@PLOwingPots @DevLeaderCa You really should learn C and C++ to understand the fundamentals, etc. I say this as a C# dev who went C -> C++ -> Java -> C#. You won't appreciate the 'better' language nearly as much if you don't at least suffer from the shortcomings of its successor language. I suffered pointer and stack overflows from C++ and that taught me to not be an idiot with my memory. Rust babies devs too much, imo - that's what (again, imo) led to the Cloudflare outage: too much trust in the compiler and willfully ignoring the dynamic nature of data in production (which NO language can account for).

Richard Sever (@cshperspectives) reported@manuelrivascruz working on solutions to this. the problem as I'm sure you can imagine is like so many sites we are being hammered by LLM bots in addition to all the DDOS attacks, so (again like many others) use services like Cloudflare to ensure human readers maintain access

Adrian Fritz (@adrianwjfritz) reported5/ Governments and major tech companies are already moving. Most blockchains are catching up. The US requires quantum-resistant cryptography on all new national security systems from January 2027 - retiring the same methods Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana rely on today. Cloudflare, Apple, Signal, Microsoft, and AWS are already deploying upgrades. 24 of the top 26 blockchain protocols still rely entirely on methods being phased out elsewhere.

Decoded (@decoded_dev) reported@EddCoates A lot can be done for free. If you use nginx, page caching helps a lot. Identify query strings that aren't used by your site but are actively being crawled and block them in cloudflare - *?*weirdstring*. This can help block bots that try to bypass the page cache. Use cloudflare to block user agents of bots that you don't need crawling your website. If you put the painful effort of going through your logs now then this problem (your server not responding) will rarely happen in the future. Where are you hosting your site?

Elie Steinbock ~ getinboxzero.com (@elie2222) reportedGot a Vercel bill down from $4,200/mo to $120/mo. Some notes: - This is a free B2C product that went somewhat viral. - To get cost down I first optimised Vercel itself. Better caching. Move images to Hetzner / Cloudflare / AWS. - I also switched off server rendering. This product didn't need it. Moved everything to SWR. These changes were needed for better caching. - The big drop at the end is because I moved a lot to a Hono server on Hetzner. - I reused an existing Hetzner server so there were no extra costs there. But even if using a new one, the extra cost would have been only another ~$30/mo. - For B2B products it's usually not worth worrying about. This product had 15k+ signups in the last month. If you have thousands of paying customers, you're making 7 figures per year and a few k to Vercel isn't critical. This product was free, so it was painful to be burning dollars on it. - No need to waste money you don't need to, but the peace of mind with Vercel handling any scale, and you having zero DevOps is a major plus. - You can always make the adjustments I did. It's easy with AI. You're not locked in forever. - The switch I made to Hono was a simple one. It doesn't have load balancing. The server should hold up, but for a B2B SaaS I'd invest more time in a stable setup (which would also cost more time and money). - Vercel makes less sense for a B2C app that goes somewhat viral. It's still my go to every time, but need to be ready to move if you do see some real growth. - The product still uses Vercel. But many of GET requests now go to Hono. PS, this isn't for @inboxzero_ai which is prosumer/B2B focused and isn't free (other than 7 day free trial).

Special Situations 🌐 Research Newsletter (Jay) (@SpecialSitsNews) reportedNew Activist Name: Shares of $MTN are trading up 13% at $141.65 on Thursday, rebounding sharply from their 52-week low of $118.51 hit earlier this year, as the Semafor scoop circulates across trading desks. The intraday move lifts the company's market cap to roughly $5.05 billion. According to Semafor, Vail's bankers are tasked with assessing vulnerabilities across a broad front: labor unrest, weather-related demand swings, and the specific pressure campaign being waged by Prince, who co-founded Cloudflare (NET). Prince told a local Colorado publication in June 2026 that he is willing to invest $500 million in Park City Mountain Resort and admitted he has already fielded calls from activist investors probing Vail's weaknesses. His preferred blueprint would see Vail pivot to an asset-light model, acting as a partnership facilitator rather than a direct mountain owner, a structure that would almost certainly require carving up the company's core real-estate holdings. The timing is awkward for management. Vail reported fiscal Q3 2026 earnings per share of $8.81, missing the consensus estimate of $9.09 by 3.1%, while revenue of $1.21 billion came in roughly $10 million below forecasts. The company subsequently cut its fiscal 2026 net income guidance to a range of $128 million to $162 million and trimmed Resort Reported EBITDA guidance to $735$755 million, down from the prior range of $745$775 million. Net debt has climbed to $2.65 billion from $2.24 billion a year earlier, pushing net leverage to 3.5x trailing twelve-month EBITDA as of April 30, 2026, while cash on hand stood at $371.4 million. Into that environment, the board moved in May 2025 to recall Rob Katz, the executive who originally built Vail into a multi-mountain empire, ousting his hand-picked successor in the process. Katz has since focused on the operational grievances that drove customer dissatisfaction, particularly lift-line congestion and chronic labor shortages, introducing products like Epic Friend Tickets and discounted super-advanced lift tickets that are showing early traction. The move signals that Vail's board views operational credibility as its first line of defense against any activist pitch centered on mismanagement. Management also has a financial lever to highlight in any proxy fight. The company pays a quarterly cash dividend of $2.22 per share, with the next payment scheduled for July 9, 2026, equating to an annualized yield of roughly 6.6% at current prices. That yield argument, steady cash returns while the turnaround plays out, is a standard defensive talking point, though it carries less weight when leverage is rising and guidance is being cut. Investors will get a clearer read on whether Katz's operational fixes are gaining traction when Vail reports fiscal Q4 2026 results, tentatively scheduled for September 24, 2026. The setup is challenging: consensus EPS for that quarter stands at -$5.05, with eight analyst downward revisions in the past 90 days and no upward revisions, reflecting the structural headwinds Prince and any allied activist would likely exploit.

Phil Smith (@itsPhil) reported@David_mduw Spin it up, yes. Understand what you built, or what you may have built wrong, not so much. The issues for the non-technical user are going to be things like not understanding when they are trying to build on a server-less platform like Cloudflare, when in fact, they are prompting their way into a site that really needs server side processes. The LLM may or may not point this out to the user, but it will continue trying to build it anyway if the user keeps prompting.

NOVA 🇷🇺 (@NOVA360HD) reported📌 The Illusion of Decentralization: Who Owns the Backbone of the Internet & AI in 2026? (Updated List) As you scroll daily, you might think you're navigating thousands of independent sites and apps. The reality? 90% of global data traffic flows through channels controlled by a select few. Here is who actually controls the world's digital backend: 1. The Cloud Big Three If these three companies went offline, half of the internet’s apps, banking systems, and aviation networks would vanish in seconds: * Amazon Web Services (AWS): Controls roughly a third of the entire global cloud market. It hosts giants like Netflix, Airbnb, and even highly sensitive government databases. * Microsoft Azure: The largest backbone for massive corporations, government institutions, and global digital identity systems. * Google Cloud: The third engine powering YouTube, massive big data research, and global startups. 2. The Gatekeepers These are the invisible shields you rarely see, but they control and protect your access to the internet: * Cloudflare: Manages and secures roughly 20-25% of all global web traffic. If Cloudflare goes down, half of the world's news outlets and crypto exchanges drop with it. * Akamai: The oldest and largest Content Delivery Network (CDN) in the world. They dictate how videos, live streams, and games reach billions of people without lagging. 3. The Hardware Monopoly Software is useless without processors, and this is where the greatest monopoly lies: * NVIDIA: Controls over 80% of the AI chip and data center GPU market. They essentially decide who has the compute power to train AI (like OpenAI and Meta) and who gets left behind. * TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor): The Taiwanese giant that manufactures almost all the world's advanced chips for Apple, Nvidia, AMD, and Qualcomm. If TSMC stopped, the production of global smartphones and military hardware would freeze. 4. The Submarine Cables (Who Owns the Physical Internet?) The internet isn't in the sky (satellites only cover a tiny fraction). 99% of global data travels through cables at the bottom of the ocean: * SubCom & ASN: The two companies responsible for laying and maintaining most of the world's underwater fiber-optic cables. * The Big Tech Alliance: Today, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon have become the largest investors and tenants of these cables, meaning they now physically own the routes data takes between continents. 5. The Institutional Masters If you dig deep into the shares of every media, tech, aviation, and defense company globally, you will always find three names repeating as the top institutional investors: * BlackRock (Manages over $10 Trillion in assets). * Vanguard Group (Manages roughly $8 Trillion in assets). * State Street These funds don't run the companies day-to-day, but they hold massive voting power to dictate board members and the strategic direction of these giants (from Apple and Microsoft to oil and defense contractors). 💡 The Bottom Line: The internet is no longer the free, distributed network it was once touted to be. It has evolved into a highly centralized infrastructure where a few massive corporations and investment funds dictate what you see, what you hear, and how your data flows.

Elizabeth (@Sounsmooth) reported@FBIPhiladelphia In Georgia they inputted Datalayers to cache and control. They then gather DNS and block the original government domain. They create a clone using Cloudflare London and Amazon. Then they wait 7 days. . . You know why. Then they activate it and viola a compromised Amazon fake government domain using a pre appointed L3 contractor who hired DEI employees are at the wheel with IT who ask the REF NAMED “Raj” Z and Kash’s buddy, who to blame for breaches is the GSA Zone 4 IC3. Kash Patel knows as do the IT volunteers. The China leak biz continues and RICO and bad guys thrive. AMERICANS LOSE. True story.

Wallstreet Dragon (@longwashere) reportedDD: Long term holdings. $NET cloudflare and why it's important in the age of agents ELI5: The world is moving towards agent. Big industries need better cloud bot protection, developers need LLM computing on the edge. Cloudflare provides the most afforadable option for both, even heavy aws users are using cloudflare for these purposes. What is Cloudflare? For the technically challenged or pre-med professionals, Cloudflare is a web infrastructure and security company that acts as a protective, performance-enhancing shield between a website and its visitors by providing services like content delivery networks (CDNs), DDoS mitigation, and secure domain routing. TL;DR: For the simple folks, it's that **** that pops up with the CAPTCHA to make sure you're not a bot. For developers, it's that **** that makes your sites fast and secure from bots. What is Cloudflare's growing revenue? Application Security and Content Delivery Network (CDN). What is a Content Delivery Network? A CDN is basically a network of servers used to store files closer to its users for faster retrieval. Imagine an app creates a backend database storing all its images on AWS based in US-East. A CDN will then copy the most commonly used images in that S3 database and duplicate them across multiple regions (Asia, Europe, US-East). When an app makes a service request, it will make the request to Cloudflare first. Cloudflare then uses its internal logic to determine if the data needed is in a nearby Cloudflare edge server (on the edge) or if it needs to get it from the main database in US-East. This is called storage on the edge. This CDN mechanism is a relic of Web 2.0, but it will become significantly more important in the age of AI. Now, instead of storing images, large AI providers will be storing entire LLM contexts on the edge. So instead of training specialized ML models to do a specific task, app companies can use a general-usage LLM with a stored context for that specific task, and it will be fast, too. This mechanism is called Prefix Caching or Prompt Caching. By doing this, it makes the LLM responses almost instantaneous. So all your consumer apps that use LLMs—like CALai, Duolingo, Grok, etc.—are most likely already using this process. Beyond simply storing data on the edge, the industry is shifting toward deploying entire servers and specialized AI models locally. A major component of this architecture relies on LLM routing. Instead of hosting massive, resource-heavy models on every single edge device or regional server, companies are deploying highly optimized, lightweight router models at the edge. These local routers analyze incoming user prompts to determine the most efficient way to handle them. If a task is simple, the edge model processes it instantly to minimize latency and eliminate cloud compute costs. If the task requires deep reasoning or a massive knowledge base, the router intelligently forwards the request to a larger cloud-hosted model. Additionally, these edge routers leverage tool calling, which allows them to execute local APIs, query regional databases, or trigger specific code workflows without needing to round-trip back to a centralized data center. Moving from simple edge storage to localized edge intelligent compute represents a massive paradigm shift. It allows enterprises to scale AI applications efficiently, safeguard data privacy, and drastically slash infrastructure costs. Cloudflare Security in the Age of Agents This one is simple. You know that Cloudflare CAPTCHA that pops up when you're entering a website or checking out with a credit card? Websites PAY for that CAPTCHA. And they pay a lot. These features block spam, bots, and DDoS attacks. When you move your mouse to click the CAPTCHA, Cloudflare uses proprietary logic that determines you're human by calculating how fast your mouse moved, the angle you moved it, how long you waited, and any other actions you took. Sometime in the 2010s, every website figured out that paying for this small puzzle CAPTCHA was more cost-effective than getting DDoS'd by bots, so almost every single site adopted it. The CAPTCHA is only one of Cloudflare's products in its security suite to block bots from websites, but the overarching theme is the same for all its features: blocking bots. Well, it's 2026 now, and web traffic across the board has increased, mostly driven by AI and AI agents. Automated web traffic has increased by 600% in 2026 alone. Guess who is positioned perfectly for this? Cloudflare. Not only is Cloudflare blocking bot traffic, but it's also getting paid by them. Cloudflare is releasing a new product (Pay Per Crawl) that allows website owners and Cloudflare to get paid for LLMs crawling their content. Cloudflare is simply winning by creating the gates for web traffic and now charging a toll fee for bots to use them. Cloudflare is direct play on internet traffic, which is a correlating play on ai agents and LLM adoption and usage. If you think people will continue to use ai agents and LLM, then cloudflare is your guy. Cloudflare valuation has dropped recently because of the layoffs due to ai, even though revenue has sped up. This drop was more of emotional sell off than a fundamental one. It's valuation has already bounced back. (Cloudflare is trading at 235 as of this post, I bought in earlier in the 190s for a swing trade after the bogus layoff dips, wish i bought in more)
