A challenger in 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud-Native application platforms
Cloudflare views this evaluation as a significant recognition of our strategy to help customers deploy once and automate away infrastructure complexity.
Cloudflare’s developer platform is a strong option for building serverless applications. It provides robust capabilities for security, scalability, and cost management — freeing developers to focus entirely on building and shipping code rather than constantly re-engineering infrastructure.
- Composable and serverless solutions like Workers, Agents SDK, and Workers AI help organizations build and deploy applications to over 330 (200 for AI inference) globally distributed points of presence.
- Our innovative CPU-based pricing model offers a route to cost-efficiency for AI and event-driven workloads such as agents, ensuring customers are only charged for active compute time.
- Our globally distributed edge network and robust security offerings, including DDoS protection and WAF, position us as a trusted leader in secure, scalable internet infrastructure.
