Cloudflare folks. Please don’t do this. I don’t know if Mr.Cumming is serious.

As a user of CF, I hope you folks go a lot deeper than broader. Example: Better cache management – compete with Fastly, my tickets on load balancer bugs were open for almost 6 months, etc.

Add to that list: hardware-based 2FA. Based on past tweets from jgrahamc, I believe CloudFlare requires all their employees to use hardware U2F tokens for critical things like Google services and has for awhile, yet they still don't support those on their own dashboard.

Another example: unify all the separate "rule" types. There's page rules, firewall rules, IP access rules, user agent rules, etc. It can get unwieldy.

[jgrahamc]

Agreed.

What better cache management? What LB features?

[Cherian]

A configuration language for cache management (think Varnish VCL). If you can give us cache management for page sections, that'd be wonderful.

To tag onto what JGC said, you have complete programmatic access to the Cloudflare cache inside a Worker [1] using the Cache API [2]. If there's anything VCL can do which Worker's can't we would love to hear about it. We also support Terraform for all of our APIs if your goal is to have a config language to configure Cloudflare settings.

You can use Workers to write real code on our edge. VCL is ok but it’s not coding. People are writing real programs on our edge not just configuring it. But you can also use Workers for that.

I agree - I like Cloudflare, but I want them to concentrate on what they do well: networking and the web
