Intent

I need it when

Secure AI agents with identity-aware access control and built-in threat protection

Cloudflare One (Zero Trust) provides identity-aware access to agents and MCP portals. DDoS protection, WAF, and bot management run on every request by default. Agents inherit enterprise-grade security without additional configuration.

Coordinate multi-step agent workflows with persistent state and real-time data synchronization

Durable Objects enable stateful compute for agent coordination. Workers KV and D1 provide fast, distributed storage. Workflows orchestrate complex multi-step processes. All services run on the same global network with sub-50ms latency.

Deploy production AI applications quickly without vendor lock-in or proprietary tooling

Cloudflare integrates with Git, GitHub Actions, VS Code, and standard frameworks. No proprietary deployment tools required. Open standards and portable code reduce switching costs. Deploy from local development to global production in seconds.

Build and deploy AI agents that run globally without managing infrastructure or worrying about cold starts

Cloudflare Agents run on Workers deployed to 335+ cities within 50ms of 95% of the world's population. No cold starts, no region selection needed, and automatic global distribution. Agents can orchestrate complex workflows using Durable Objects for stateful coordination and Workers AI for inference.

Reduce operational costs by paying only for actual compute time, not idle server capacity

Cloudflare charges only for CPU milliseconds consumed during agent execution, not wall-clock time. Long-running agent workflows, API calls, and LLM interactions incur zero cost during wait periods. Free tier includes 100k daily requests and 10ms CPU per request.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • Organization requires on-premises or private cloud deployment only; Cloudflare is a global edge network service
  • Use case demands traditional VPS or dedicated server control; Cloudflare abstracts infrastructure management
  • Project needs synchronous, long-running processes with guaranteed wall-clock billing; Cloudflare charges only CPU time
  • Team lacks familiarity with serverless, edge-first architecture and prefers legacy monolithic deployments
  • Compliance requires data residency in specific geographic regions; Cloudflare distributes workloads across 335+ cities

Pricing

Free tier with generous limits; pay-as-you-go for compute and storage. Workers: $0.30/million requests, $0.02/million CPU ms. Durable Objects: $0.15/million requests, $12.50/million GB-s. No charge for wall-clock time during agent workflows—only CPU time billed. View pricing
