# Cloudflare

Cloudflare is acquiring the Deno team, and the Deno runtime will get monthly fixes for one more year before development ends, with Deno Deploy shutting down six months later. Developers reacting online mostly read it as a loss for the independent JavaScript runtime, though Deno says the code stays open source.

**The Deno team is joining Cloudflare, and the Deno runtime gets one more year.** - [Better Stack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_g7WKMwNeo)'s Oct 13 video "Deno Is Over (Cloudflare Shut It Down)" pulled 162,733 views. It quotes the Deno blog post: the team will ship monthly bug-fix and security releases for another year, then end its development of the runtime, and Deno Deploy gets 6 months before it shuts down completely. The post says Deno "will remain open source" and welcomes others to continue it, but the comments read like a eulogy, led by @betterstack's "Node to Deno to Done 😔" (598 likes) and @bronkolie's "Sir, a second JavaScript runtime has been acquired by big tech" (425 likes). The original Oct 9 announcement from [Deno](https://deno.com/blog/cloudflare), written by Ryan Dahl, frames the move as joining forces rather than shutting down outright, and [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/10/cloudflare-acquires-deno-to-improve-its-workers-programming-model) reports Cloudflare principal engineer Kenton Varda says the acquisition is meant to improve the Workers programming model, with Deno recently having launched celld, an open source implementation of Workers. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, per [The New Stack](https://thenewstack.io/cloudflare-acquires-deno-ryan-dahl/), which notes Deno, co-founded by Bert Belder and Node.js creator Ryan Dahl, had effectively copied Cloudflare's serverless playbook before being bought by it.

**Matthew Prince says Cloudflare saw millions of exploit attempts after the PHP disclosure.** - The [r/technology](https://reddit.com/r/technology) [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1xcaqio/cloudflare_sees_millions_of_exploit_attempts/) relaying the CEO's X post hit 2,197 upvotes. Its top comment, from u/Single-Virus4935 (827 upvotes), reads: "People called me paranoid when I demanded everything behind firewalls, VPN, mTLS and in Sandboxes." u/BlackReddition (86 upvotes) pushed back: "Did Cloudflare actually stop the attempts? This post actually tells us nothing." A [Cloudflare blog update](https://blog.cloudflare.com/php-vulnerabilities-waf-protection) says all WAF customers are protected against known exploit attempts, and notes the PHP project published an informational advisory on Oct 23 for a related flaw, CVE-2026-115560, in PHP's session upload progress feature, affecting even fully patched releases like 8.5.12, with a fix due in PHP's next regular release. Days later, Prince's claim that [AI will keep uncovering critical software flaws for years](https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1xf6nmi/ai_will_keep_uncovering_critical_software_flaws/) drew 239 upvotes. Separately, [Rob Shocks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9N6D4iTYpM) tested what he calls Cloudflare's new open-source security skill against an app he seeded with six holes (63,762 views), and the [cloudflare/security-audit-skill](https://github.com/cloudflare/security-audit-skill) repo now sits at 57,754 stars. That repo's own documentation describes the skill as orchestrating isolated agents through reconnaissance, coverage-led hunting, candidate validation, structured output and independent verification, and [fireup.pro](https://fireup.pro/news/cloudflare-open-sources-its-ai-security-auditor-heres-why-it-matters) reports the harness grew into a fleet-wide system that scans 128 of Cloudflare's own repos.

**Cloudflare tracks 170 million automated attacks moving to new hosts after Ukraine strikes Yandex data centers.** - That r/technology [headline](https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1x6r3cs/malicious_russian_disinformation_bot_traffic/) reached 8,692 upvotes. The top comment, from u/_Piratical_ (4,217 upvotes), asks "what if, someone like Cloudflare, actually did something about allowing those bots to get across the networks?" Earlier on Threads, [@observa_torrey](https://www.threads.com/@observa_torrey/post/DeXm75on4Gv) (126 likes) argued that the reported drop in "bot traffic" mostly reflected Yandex's search crawling going offline. The Oct 29 [Q3 DDoS report](https://blog.cloudflare.com/ddos-threat-report-2026-q3/) describes a shift toward smaller residential IoT botnets such as Dysphoria and Evooo1Bot after the AISURU and KimWolf takedowns, per [r/StopBadBots](https://www.reddit.com/r/StopBadBots/comments/1xk3n83/cloudflare_reveals_shocking_report_everything/) (140 upvotes). Meanwhile, a [Turnstile solver library](https://github.com/chris124567/cfsolve) climbed to 314 points on HN.

**Cloudflare Connect 2026 fills Moscone West Oct 19-21 with a 10-million-developer headline.** - The Oct 20 [press release](https://www.cloudflare.com/press/press-releases/2026/more-than-10-million-developers-are-building-on-cloudflare/) and the [@Cloudflare](https://x.com/Cloudflare/status/2116159857120235960) post (13,671 views) carried the number. The [Connect keynote](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbeDcIoSpw) cited 7 million developers last quarter, up from 5 million. In a Durable Objects talk on [Cloudflare Developers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75jxhU6z3ho) (7,206 views), Ashley Peacock said Cloudflare's AI agent traffic grew more than 1,700% in a year. The agent pitch got a product too: the [Monetization Gateway](https://www.threads.com/@cloudflare/post/DfHjYPCku2y) (267 likes) entered closed beta, letting domain owners charge agents for access to sites, APIs, MCP tools or datasets.

**Cloudflare's new DNS planner cuts full zone builds by 40%.** - In an [X thread](https://x.com/Cloudflare/status/2117256679381164434) (268 likes, 47,802 views), Cloudflare also claims 85% lower peak memory and half the build delay. In the same week, [private-origin support](https://x.com/Cloudflare/status/2116179364614189067) became available on Oct 30 to every customer with Cloudflare One connectivity. On the developer side, [@mrsurajsinghh](https://www.threads.com/@mrsurajsinghh/post/DfPR22NkaPg) says he is moving 50+ projects off Vercel for pay-as-you-go pricing, while conceding Vercel "is still incredibly optimized." [@thdxr](https://www.threads.com/@thdxr/post/DfC0ovhFPL1) joked "we have cloudflare enterprise now which means we're paying for all your cheap worker deployments" (260 likes). Not everyone is sold: in [r/CloudFlare](https://www.reddit.com/r/CloudFlare/comments/1x1h281/turn_cloudflare_into_your_online_storage/), u/404invalid-user (86 upvotes) called Cloudflare-as-storage "probably one of the most expensive active file storage you could "self host"".

**Polymarket puts a 54% chance on another critical Cloudflare incident by Nov 30.** - The [market](https://polymarket.com/event/another-critical-cloudflare-incident-byptptpt-20261026) moved up 19.5% this week, and the window gave it material:
- **Oct 16:** [@sumopodcloud](https://www.threads.com/@sumopodcloud/post/DeieZN5lPIW) reported a Cloudflare disruption that cut off its n8n and hermes services in the Jakarta region.
- **Oct 20:** a [major Zero Trust outage](https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/0eqtn0khkz87) was posted.
- **Oct 28:** edmorley filed a [nodejs.org issue](https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/issues/9239) citing hundreds of failed Node.js downloads during a Cloudflare incident.
- **Nov 3:** "multiple active incidents" hit 60 points on [HN](https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/).

Separately, a small business owner in r/CloudFlare [says](https://www.reddit.com/r/CloudFlare/comments/1xm18b4/cloudflare_locked_my_websites/) the account was suspended Oct 29 on an abuse report that listed no website address (36 comments).

**Cloudflare's Greenhouse board lists 467 open roles, led by Solution Engineering and Field Sales.** - Every posting opens with the same "About Us At Cloudflare" boilerplate. Solution Engineering is advertising dozens of Senior Customer Engineer seats, from the Bay Area to Sub-Saharan Africa. Field Sales and Mid Market want Senior Named Account Executive, Senior Account Executive, Senior Territory Account Executive and Territory Account Executive hires. Emerging Technology and Incubation posts [Agentic Commerce](https://boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/8242481?gh_jid=8242481) and Workers AI roles. Developer Relations has a [Head of GTM, AI Inference](https://boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/7428796?gh_jid=7428796) opening, and Professional Services is staffing forward-deployed engineers. Engineering wants Senior Software Engineer, Software Engineer, Senior Systems Engineer and Systems Engineer roles, including [MCP Server Portals](https://boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/8236549?gh_jid=8236549). These are openings, not confirmed hires. On the money side, Polymarket gives an [86% chance](https://polymarket.com/event/net-quarterly-earnings-nongaap-eps-11-05-2026-0pt35) that Cloudflare beats quarterly earnings, in a market closing Nov 5, after Q2 revenue of $696.1 million rose 36% per its [SEC filing](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1477333/000147733326000053/q226exhibit991.htm).

## Top takeaways

- Cloudflare is pitching itself as agent infrastructure, pairing a 10-million-developer milestone with a pay-per-agent beta and agentic hiring, per the [press release](https://www.cloudflare.com/press/press-releases/2026/more-than-10-million-developers-are-building-on-cloudflare/), [Threads](https://www.threads.com/@cloudflare/post/DfHjYPCku2y) and [Greenhouse](https://boards.greenhouse.io/cloudflare/jobs/8242481?gh_jid=8242481).
- Reliability is the counter-story: incidents ran from Jakarta to Node.js downloads, and bettors price another critical one near coin-flip by Nov 30, per [nodejs.org](https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/issues/9239) and [Polymarket](https://polymarket.com/event/another-critical-cloudflare-incident-byptptpt-20261026).
- Deno users now face a deadline: one more year of runtime maintenance and six months for Deno Deploy, framed by Cloudflare as a programming-model upgrade for Workers, per [Better Stack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_g7WKMwNeo) and [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/10/cloudflare-acquires-deno-to-improve-its-workers-programming-model).
- Each time Cloudflare publishes what it sees, from PHP exploits to Yandex-linked bots, r/technology demands it block those threats instead, per the [PHP thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1xcaqio/cloudflare_sees_millions_of_exploit_attempts/) and the [bot thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1x6r3cs/malicious_russian_disinformation_bot_traffic/).
- Watch the earnings market closing Nov 5, where traders give Cloudflare an 86% chance of beating quarterly expectations, per [Polymarket](https://polymarket.com/event/net-quarterly-earnings-nongaap-eps-11-05-2026-0pt35).
