Cloudflare mitigated 935 network-layer attacks above 1 Tbps in H1 2026, a +519% quarter-over-quarter jump, while DNS floods grew from 25.7% to 40.0% of network-layer attacks. Here is what the numbers say about how attacks are changing and what it means for anyone running public infrastructure.

Cloudflare moved cdnjs, the open-source CDN behind ~12% of the web, entirely onto Workers, Workflows, R2, and Queues. The migration raised two platform limits for everyone. Here is what changed and why it matters.

A practical look at the operational Postgres guide that hit the HN front page - what it gets right, what the community pushed back on, and what every startup should internalize about running Postgres in production.

How to set up Entire's regional Git mirrors for AI coding agents. Covers installation, mirroring, integrations with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Factory AI.

A new distributed inference system pools GPU resources across multiple machines and exposes them through a single OpenAI-compatible API. No RDMA, no NVLink - just QUIC and your existing hardware.

Cloudflare Research introduces Meerkat, a distributed consensus service using QuePaxa that eliminates leader elections and timeouts across their 330+ global data centers.

A companion guide to the Agents 101 video: a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of building and deploying AI agents fast on Vercel, the agentic infrastructure stack. Here is the map of what to learn and where to go next.

A builder's guide to picking a code-execution sandbox for AI agents - E2B, Daytona, Modal, Cloudflare Sandbox, and Vercel Sandbox compared on isolation, latency, state, and pricing model.

Cloudflare announces native support for the x402 HTTP payment protocol, letting developers charge for API calls and web resources with stablecoin micropayments - no accounts or API keys required.

A new project proposes a graphical shell layer for SSH that turns remote servers into browsable desktops. The HN discussion digs into architecture choices, the terminology debate, and whether this solves a real problem.

Arcade just raised $60M to become the secure action layer for production AI agents. Here is what their MCP runtime actually does, how it differs from rolling your own OAuth, and when to use it.

A blog post arguing for memcached over Redis sparked a heated HN debate. Here's the architectural argument for why memcached's constraints might actually be a feature.

Cloudflare shipped wrangler deploy --temporary on June 19, 2026. AI agents can now deploy Workers, D1 databases, and KV stores without browser auth flows. Here is how it works.

The new wrangler deploy --temporary flag creates ephemeral Cloudflare accounts for AI agents. 60-minute deployments, no OAuth, no browser - just deploy and claim later.

Open-source LLM engineering platform: tracing, evals, prompt management, and datasets. Self-hostable, OpenTelemetry-native, with 50+ framework integrations.

Open-source cloud sandboxes for AI agents. Isolated environments that start in under 200ms, run code in Python, JavaScript, and more, and persist sessions up to 24 hours.

Claude Managed Agents is in public beta with solid sandboxing and session persistence - but the headline orchestration features are still locked behind a research preview waitlist. Here's what teams can actually ship today, what it costs, and when DIY alternatives make more sense.

PgDog raised $5.5M to bring transparent Postgres sharding and connection pooling to any stack. Here is what it actually does, how it compares to PgBouncer and Citus, and the honest answer to whether you need it.

The models.dev project is trending because AI teams need one boring source of truth for model specs, pricing, context windows, modalities, and tool support.

A long-form technical read on Flue from Fred K Schott, with deeper comparisons against OpenAI Agents, Vercel AI SDK, Google ADK, LangChain, Deep Agents, and CrewAI, plus practical production patterns.
