Cloudflare

What is Cloudflare?

Cloudflare is one of the biggest networks operating on the Internet. People use Cloudflare services for the purposes of increasing the security and performance of their web sites and services.

Cloudflare operates a global network that spans over 200 cities in more than 100 countries. Their services sit between a website’s visitor and the Cloudflare user’s hosting provider, acting as a reverse proxy for websites.

It is one of the most popular content delivery networks (CDN) and DDoS mitigation providers on the Internet, handling more than 25 million internet properties.

I recommend Cloudflare for websites as well as applications exposing public APIs to improve security, performance, reliability and advanced monitoring capabilities.
