It has been our tradition, since our first birthday, to use this week to launch innovative new products that we think of as our gift back to the Internet. Welcome to #BirthdayWeek🎂 2021!

Join Matthew Prince (CEO & Co-Founder, Cloudflare), Michelle Zatlyn (Co-Founder, President & Chief Operating Officer, Cloudflare) and Jen Taylor (SVP, Chief Product Officer, Cloudflare) as they kick off Cloudflare's 11th Birthday with this fireside chat on Cloudflare TV.

How do we get so much stuff out so quickly? That we are able to innovate — and innovate so quickly — is no happy accident. In fact, this capability has been very deliberately built into the DNA of Cloudflare. I want to touch on three of the reasons most unique to us: one relates to our people, one relates to our technology, and one relates to our customers.

Cloudflare announced its entry into email security with new offerings to help solve email challenges in an easy-to-use way that gives customers more control. Now, users will be able to create custom email addresses, manage incoming email routing, and prevent email spoofing and phishing on outgoing emails—all for free.

You can now easily and quickly create email addresses for domain, and forward to them all to your preferred inbox, like Gmail or Outlook. Cloudflare Email Forwarding is completely free, and always respects your privacy by not storing or looking into your emails.

Today we’re announcing a new tool to tackle email spoofing and phishing. We’ll warn users about insecure configurations and provide an easy-to-use wizard to create required DNS records.

In this Cloudflare TV segment, we will have a fireside chat between Joe Sullivan (SVP, Chief Security Officer of Cloudflare) and John Scott Railton (Senior Researcher at The Citizen Lab).

We are very excited to announce Cloudflare Email Routing. Everyone should have multiple email addresses, for the online banking login to stay separate from mailing lists and spam, but it's been quite cumbersome for some to do. Cloudflare Email Routing helps create free email addresses for your domain, and redirect them all to the mailbox you already use - like Gmail or Outlook.

Mitigate email spoofing and phishing risks, and improve email deliverability with Cloudflare’s new Email Security DNS Wizard. Protect users by creating DNS records that prevent others from sending malicious emails on behalf of your domain. Join us as we discuss how to leverage the latest Cloudflare DNS feature enhancement to protect your domains.

Join the Cloudflare developer product team to discuss today's announcement: R2 Object Storage. The team will review how to join the early access program, and everything else you need to get started.

Introducing Cloudflare’s S3-compatible Object Storage service, with zero egress bandwidth charges and automatic migration from S3-compatible services.

Every year during Birthday Week, we talk about what we mean by our mission to help build a better Internet. We release new protocols and products that help the global Internet community and give things like unmitigated DDoS Protection away for free. We also think about our role as an active participant in the global community of individuals, companies and governments that make the Internet what it is.

We’re excited to announce that all customers now have the ability to register new domains.

Registrar for Everyone - new domain registrations, support for additional TLDs, and what's coming next for Registrar.

During this session, Jonathon Dixon (Head of Asia Pacific Sales of Cloudflare) will host our guest Dacheng Tao (SVP of JD.com) to discuss the evolution of JD Cloud and the techniques in the future.

Cloudflare announced Cloudflare R2 Storage, a better way for developers to store everything they need with automatic migration of data from S3-compatible services to make switching easy. Cloudflare R2 Storage, designed for the edge, will offer the ability to store large amounts of data, expanding what’s possible with Cloudflare while slashing the egress bandwidth fees associated with cloud provider storage to zero.

We are extending Cloudflare’s network directly into over 1,000 of the most populated office buildings.

Dark mode is now available for the Cloudflare Dashboard in beta! From your user profile, you can configure the Cloudflare Dashboard in light mode, dark mode, or match it to your system settings.

Cloudflare announced it will extend its network to iconic properties like Salesforce Tower in San Francisco, Willis Tower Chicago, John Hancock Tower in Boston, and 30 Hudson Yards, 4 Times Square & 520 Madison in New York, as well as the planned further expansion into thousands of other office buildings and multi-dwelling units globally.

We’re making it easier to build and scale real-time communications applications around open technologies, starting with WebRTC Components.

Today we’re excited to announce that we're making the technology we used to build Cloudflare TV available to any other business that wants to run their own 24x7 streaming network.
