Cloudflare

Cloudflare operates a global cloud platform that delivers network services to businesses of all sizes, protecting and accelerating Internet applications without requiring customers to add hardware, install software, or change a line of code. The platform handles millions of Internet properties, from individual blogs to Fortune 500 companies, routing their traffic through an intelligent global network.

Technical work spans several domains: global CDN and content delivery, network security and DDoS/attack mitigation, traffic routing and intelligent global networking, performance optimisation, and spam and threat mitigation. A defining characteristic of the system is its self-learning network, which improves with every request it processes.

The network footprint extends to over 330 cities in more than 125 countries. Customers across all industries use the application protection and acceleration services, which deliver significant performance improvement and a decrease in spam and attacks.

Cloudflare describes itself as a team on a mission to help build a better Internet, with an emphasis on solving the biggest problems on the network and on making customer properties more secure, faster, and more reliable.
