2013: Rebuild the Engine; 2014: Step on the Gas

In 2013, CloudFlare experienced significant growth with a 400% increase in page views, revenue, and traffic across its network. The company also added new partners and customers while doubling its team size and opening a second office in London. Despite these successes, the year was not without challenges, including record-level denial of service attacks and an aging code base. In response, CloudFlare undertook major refactoring efforts to improve its infrastructure and capabilities. Looking ahead to 2014, the company plans to expand its data centers in regions with limited coverage, enhance developer control over its platform, and implement state-of-the-art encryption technologies for customer data protection.
