News Summary:

Cloudflare recently threatened to cut Google off from its publishers in searches, citing intense AI scraping of copyrighted content. The company indicated its industrial-grade bot detection and blocking product faces challenges managing the high volume of scraping activity. Earlier on July 10, Cloudflare and OpenAI launched a pilot program to enhance AI search by utilizing real-time web activity and updates, investigating how live network signals can accelerate AI models' access to fresh online information, a move that also supports interest in decentralized computing and Web3 infrastructure. Previously, on July 9, Patreon partnered with Cloudflare to implement measures blocking crawlers from extracting creators' work for AI training purposes.

AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Cloudflare now all offer agent sandboxes. None built them the same way.

Google Cloud announced it had put Cloud Run sandboxes into public preview earlier this month at WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin, a few weeks after AWS shipped its version. And both sandboxes answer the same question: Where should the code an agent just wrote actually run? Here’s why it matters: Two hyperscalers launching sandboxes in the same quarter completes the group.

Cloudflare Internal DNS puts public and private DNS on one policy engine

Enterprises typically operate separate systems for internal and external DNS because the two serve different audiences. Public DNS resolves names for services meant to be reached from the internet. Private DNS resolves internal resources, such as databases and internal applications, that should never be visible outside the corporate network.

Bots now generate more web traffic than humans and startups are about to feel it

Cloudflare says bots now make up most of the web page requests it sees, and that should make any startup built on traffic metrics slow down and check what is actually human. The number Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince posted on June 3 is the one founders should not wave away: 57.4% of HTTP requests to web content on Cloudflare Radar were automated, against 42.6% from humans.

Introducing Cache Response Rules

Today we’re excited to announce Cache Response Rules. These are a new rule type that runs after an origin server replies but before Cloudflare caches the content. If you've ever been irked watching something that should easily sail out of cache get dragged back to the origin by a stray Set-Cookie or wrong Cache-Control, headers that are sometimes hard or impossible to strip or change on the origin itself, then Cache Response Rules is that fix, applied at exactly the right moment.
