Announcing support for gRPC
Cloudflare has introduced beta support for proxying gRPC, a next-generation protocol designed to build APIs at scale. With gRPC on Cloudflare, users gain access to the platform's security, reliability, and performance features. The integration allows customers to add security features such as WAF and Bot Management, increase performance with Argo Smart Routing, and improve reliability by adding a Load Balancer. Additionally, gRPC integrates with API Shield for enforcing client authentication and schema validation at the edge.
