Wow, That's Fast! Instant DNS Updates and More...

What's this blog post about?

Matthew Prince from Cloudflare discusses their constant efforts to improve speed and efficiency in their network operations. They developed KTFS (Key-Value File System), which allows quick updates across the entire network similar to BitTorrent's file distribution method. This has significantly reduced SSL certificate deployment time, making it less than a minute after issuance. Additionally, DNS update times have been decreased from five minutes to under one minute. KTFS is expected to enhance other processes and support Cloudflare's growth in providing a faster, safer internet experience for users.
