Many developers, data scientists, and researchers do much of their work in Python notebooks: they’ve been the de facto standard for data science and sharing for well over a decade. Notebooks are popular because they make it easy to code, explore data, prototype ideas, and share results. We use them heavily at Cloudflare, and we’re seeing more and more developers use notebooks to work with data – from analyzing trends in HTTP traffic, querying Workers Analytics Engine through to querying their own Iceberg tables stored in R2.
Traditional notebooks are incredibly powerful — but they were not built with collaboration, reproducibility, or deployment as data apps in mind. As usage grows across teams and workflows, these limitations face the reality of work at scale.
marimo reimagines the notebook experience with these challenges in mind. It’s an open-source reactive Python notebook that’s built to be reproducible, easy to track in Git, executable as a standalone script, and deployable. We have partnered with the marimo team to bring this streamlined, production-friendly experience to Cloudflare developers. Spend less time wrestling with tools and more time exploring your data.
Today, we’re excited to announce three things:
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the glue that keeps the entire Internet together. However, despite its vital function, BGP wasn't originally designed to protect against malicious actors or routing mishaps. It has since been updated to account for this shortcoming with the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) framework, but can we declare it to be safe yet?
If the question needs asking, you might suspect we can't. There is a shortage of reliable data on how much of the Internet is protected from preventable routing problems. Today, we’re releasing a new method to measure exactly that: what percentage of Internet users are protected by their Internet Service Provider from these issues. We find that there is a long way to go before the Internet is protected from routing problems, though it varies dramatically by country.
The Internet is a network of independently-managed networks, called Autonomous Systems (ASes). To achieve global reachability, ASes interconnect with each other and determine the feasible paths to a given destination IP address by exchanging routing information using BGP. BGP enables routers with only local network visibility to construct end-to-end paths based on the arbitrary preferences of Continue reading
