ICYMI: Developer Week 2022 announcements
Developer Week 2022 has come to a close. Over the last week we’ve shared with you 31 posts on what you can build on Cloudflare and our vision and roadmap on where we’re headed. We shared product announcements, customer and partner stories, and provided technical deep dives. In case you missed any of the posts here’s a handy recap.
Product and feature announcements
| Announcement | Summary |
|---|---|
| Welcome to the Supercloud (and Developer Week 2022) | Our vision of the cloud -- a model of cloud computing that promises to make developers highly productive at scaling from one to Internet-scale in the most flexible, efficient, and economical way. |
| Build applications of any size on Cloudflare with the Queues open beta | Build performant and resilient distributed applications with Queues. Available to all developers with a paid Workers plan. |
| Migrate from S3 easily with the R2 Super Slurper | A tool to easily and efficiently move objects from your existing storage provider to R2. |
| Get started with Cloudflare Workers with ready-made templates | See what’s possible with Workers and get building faster with these starter templates. |
| Reduce origin load, save on cloud egress fees, and maximize cache hits with Cache Reserve | Cache Reserve is graduating to open Continue reading |
Platform Week wrap-up
A comprehensive developer platform includes all the necessary storage, compute, and services to effectively deliver an application. Compute that runs globally and auto-scales to execute code without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure; storage for user information, objects, and key-value pairs; and all the related services including delivering video, optimizing images, managing third-party components, and capturing telemetry.
Whether you’re looking to modernize legacy backend infrastructure or are building a brand-new application from the ground up the Cloudflare Developer Platform provides all the building blocks you need to deliver an application on the edge.
Recently, during Platform Week, we made a number of announcements expanding what’s possible with the Developer Platform. Let’s take a look at some of the announcements we made and what this enables you to build. For a complete list visit the Platform Week hub.
Compute
The core of our compute offering is Workers, our serverless runtime. Workers integrates with other Cloudflare offerings helping you route requests, take action on bots, send an email, or route and filter emails, just to name a few.
There are times when you’ll want to use multiple Workers to perform an action, Workers now have the ability to call another Continue reading
Our growing Developer Platform partner ecosystem
Deploying an application to the cloud requires a robust network, ample storage, and compute power. But that only covers the architecture, it doesn’t include all the other tools and services necessary to build, deploy, and support your applications. It’s easy to get bogged down in researching whether everything you want to use works together, and that takes time away from actually developing and building.
Cloudflare is focused on building a modern cloud with a developer-first experience. That developer experience includes creating an ecosystem filled with the tools and services developers need.
Deciding to build an application starts with the planning and design elements. What programming languages, frameworks, or runtimes will be used? The answer to that question can influence the architecture and hosting decisions. Choosing a runtime may lock you into using specific vendors. Our goal is to provide flexibility and eliminate the friction involved when wanting to migrate on to (or off) Cloudflare.
You can’t forget the tools necessary for configuration and interoperability. This can include areas such as authentication and infrastructure management. You have multiple pieces of your application that need to talk with one another to ensure a secure and seamless experience. We support and build standards Continue reading
