Building and using Managed Components with WebCM

Cloudflare has introduced Managed Components, a new technology designed to improve the way third-party tools integrate with websites. The company has open-sourced parts of its innovative Zaraz technology, making it accessible and usable for everyone online. Managed Components are built around a permissions system that allows website owners to control what scripts can do on their sites. This approach promotes transparency and helps prevent malicious activities such as stealing user credentials or manipulating websites. The new Managed Components API enables developers to create server-side connections, cache information, use key-value stores, and more, resulting in faster website performance and a smaller attack surface. Cloudflare's WebCM is an open-source Component Manager that allows users to run Managed Components on their websites without being a Cloudflare user. The company encourages developers to build their own Managed Components and contribute to the technology's growth for the benefit of every user of the World Wide Web.
