Welcome to GA Week

On September 18th, John Graham-Cumming discussed how Cloudflare's products are developed and improved through beta testing with its large customer base. He highlighted that once a product is ready for general availability (GA), it becomes part of the company's best-of-breed offerings in various categories such as WAF, DDoS mitigation, bot management, API protection, CDN, and developer platform. These products are trusted by major companies like Broadcom, NCR, DHL Parcel, Panasonic, Canva, Shopify, L'Oréal, DoorDash, Garmin, among others. The company operates three main innovation teams that work on projects with varying time horizons and encourages external innovation as well. In the coming week, Cloudflare will announce new products during its 12th birthday celebration, which is also known as Innovation Week or GA Week.
