A letter from Cloudflare’s founders (2020)

Cloudflare, an internet security and content delivery network company, is celebrating its 10th anniversary since launching on September 27, 2010. The company has grown from a handful of employees to one of the largest networks in the world, serving millions of customers. Its mission to help build a better Internet seems more important than ever as the internet becomes increasingly integral to daily life. In its first year after going public, Cloudflare saw record expansion of new customers and growth among existing ones. The company has consistently rolled out the latest technologies ahead of others in the industry, making them available to everyone from individual developers to large corporations. This approach has helped democratize internet services and features that were once only accessible to a select few. The year 2020 has been challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Cloudflare adapted quickly by offering free access to its Cloudflare for Teams product to help businesses transition to remote work. The company also launched new products and services during this time, including a series of updates to its edge computing platform called Workers. Looking ahead, Cloudflare plans to continue fighting for the internet's integrity by engaging in conversations around upcoming regulations and working to ensure that future startups and entrepreneurs can benefit from the opportunities provided by the internet. The company remains committed to its mission of building a better internet for everyone.
