This Week in NET

This episode is all about our second innovation week of the year: Developer Week. Host João Tomé is joined in person at Cloudflare’s London office by Ricky Robinett, VP of Developer Relations, and Craig Dennis, Developer Educator.
There’s a lot to go through — new tools and announcements launched during this April week. The vibe in the developer world, with AI, agents, and code-first energy, is contagious. More people, even non-developers, are now empowered to build their own tools and applications.
We go over announcements that reinforce why Cloudflare is the place where builders should create AI agents. We’ve also added observability tools, made deploying existing applications to Cloudflare frictionless, enhanced our platform for enterprise users, and introduced updates that make it the future of global data experiences.
Topics such as Workflows, Hyperdrive, AutoRAG, and support for MCP (Model Context Protocol) are discussed. We also explain how MCP introduces a new standard for how LLMs interface with the world. Other highlights include Realtime, RealtimeKit, and much more.
