Cloudflare Developer Week 2025: What’s New and Exciting
Cloudflare‘s annual Developer Week brings a wave of new products. This year I’m excited about Workers AI, D1 database updates, and R2 storage enhancements.
Workers AI — Run AI at the Edge
Workers AI is Cloudflare’s edge AI inference service supporting multiple models (text generation, image recognition). Just a few lines of code to invoke. Free tier: 10K inferences/day, generous for personal projects.
D1 Database — Edge SQLite
D1 is Cloudflare’s serverless SQLite database. Now with backups and point‑in‑time recovery. Free tier: 5GB storage. Combine with Workers for full‑stack apps.
R2 Storage — Free S3‑compatible
R2 has no egress fees, making it ideal for storage and distribution. New lifecycle management and event notifications enable complex workflows. Free: 10GB/month.
Wrap‑Up
- Cloudflare is becoming a full‑stack platform
- Generous free tiers benefit indie devs and startups
- Watch for new examples and tutorials—there’s always something new
Edge compute + serverless database + storage — Cloudflare is building a developer‑friendly ecosystem.
