Cloudflare dogfoods its entire stack so teams feel customer pain from spend, speed, and reliability issues, which the company credits for rapid iteration. Dane Knecht (@dok2001) adds that Cloudflare runs the systems itself and that CIO @LakeAustinBlvd has deployed AI across the company, claiming a safe, cost‑efficient rollout and offering follow‑up via DM.
Cloudflare 'dogfoods' all its own products to move quickly, forcing teams to 'be the customer' and directly experience spend, speed, and reliability papercuts.
we dogfood everything at cloudflare, it's why we're able to move so quickly
be the customer, feel the pain and experience the papercuts, whether that is spend, speed, or reliability you gotta put yourself in their shoes

And we run all of this on ourselves. Our CIO @LakeAustinBlvd rolled out AI across Cloudflare, safe and cost efficient, on our own products. If you want to see how, DM him.
