The secret to Cloudflare’s pace of Innovation

In this text, Jen Taylor discusses how Cloudflare has been able to innovate and release new products quickly during their Birthday Weeks. She attributes this success to three factors: cultivating curiosity in their employees, using their own technology (Workers platform), and having a large and diverse free customer base. Curiosity fuels innovation by challenging the status quo and identifying unnecessary points of friction. The Workers platform provides a single, scalable platform for development, allowing for rapid deployment across Cloudflare's network. Lastly, their free customer base helps test new features and provide valuable insights that drive further innovation. Taylor also mentions that they are hiring in various roles to continue building a better internet.
