In 2024 and 2025, we reassessed remote Spectre attacks on our Workers infrastructure. We share details about the new attack primitives like Spectre gadgets, remote timers, achieving co-location and how new defenses further harden Cloudflare Workers.

Thermal design supporting Gen 12 hardware: cool, efficient and reliable

Great thermal solutions play a crucial role in hardware reliability and performance. Gen 12 servers have implemented an exhaustive thermal analysis to ensure optimal operations within a wide variety of temperature conditions and use cases. By implementing new design and control features for improved power efficiency on the compute nodes we also enabled the support of powerful accelerators to serve our customers.

Oxy: the journey of graceful restarts

Deploying new versions of long-lived server software while maintaining a reliable experience is challenging. For oxy, we established several development and operational patterns to increase reliability and reduce friction in deployments
