Overview
Cloudflare provides services for connecting, protecting, and running internet applications. Its platform includes content delivery, DNS, security tools, and developer services such as Workers, which run application code on Cloudflare's infrastructure.
Products and role
A site can use Cloudflare for network delivery and traffic controls, while a developer can use Workers to implement request handling or application logic. These are related but distinct layers.
A useful distinction
DNS configuration, caching, and application execution have different responsibilities. Identify which Cloudflare service owns a behavior before changing traffic rules or application code.
