What Cloudflare is
Cloudflare is a platform for teams running applications, agents and a workforce. It provides security and connectivity for websites and other internet-facing services. Its plans include free and paid monthly or annual options, pay-as-you-go per-user pricing, and custom contracts.
It runs security, connectivity and code in cities around the world. Cloudflare moves Workers closer to data to reduce end-to-end latency. Its core services include DDoS mitigation, a CDN, SSL, a web application firewall and bot protection. Compute is charged by CPU time rather than wall time.
