Explore how Workers now connect beyond HTTP with TCP and gRPC.
Eight years is a long time to wait for a protocol. Cloudflare Workers now accept inbound TCP connections through a new `connect(socket)` handler routed via Spectrum, ending that HTTP-only restriction. Containers gain full-duplex gRPC in any language, while Workers get unary and server-streaming through automatic gRPC-web translation. It's a private beta, but the direction is clear: your data workflows just got more flexible. For those exploring broader coding potential, our piece on unlocking Python's advanced techniques pairs nicely with this shift.
Secure Your AI Agents with Kernel-Level API Control
Your AI agents are generating code that no one owns, and that's a risk you can't ignore. Dan Finneran shows how eBPF can step in, intercepting API traffic at the kernel level to filter prompts, swap models, and enforce limits without touching your application code. It's a practical, transparent way to secure production systems. For more on questioning AI's output, our piece on verifying your AI's understanding offers a timely follow-up.
Cloudflare moves 9 billion daily CDN requests to its developer platform
Cloudflare has moved cdnjs, its open source CDN for JavaScript and CSS libraries, onto its Developer Platform, and the scale is striking: 9 billion requests a day now run on Workers, R2, KV, Workflows, Queues, Durable Objects, and Containers. That's not just a hosting swap; it's a consolidation of publishing and delivery into one architecture, all while keeping URLs and SRI hashes intact. For teams wrestling with legacy tools, this shows what's possible when infrastructure steps forward. Curious about similar migration thinking?
