    All about Internet Measurement, Resilience, and Transparency

    In this episode, host João Tomé talks with Marwan Fayed, Principal Scientist and Research Lead at Cloudflare, about the science behind understanding and improving the Internet. They explore the Research Week blog takeover on Measurement, Resilience, and Transparency, discussing the tricky science of Internet measurement — including a traffic spike in Ukraine that revealed how complex it is to explain data at scale. Marwan shares how Cloudflare is building a framework for Internet resilience, preparing for a post-quantum future with Merkle tree certificates, and tackling the “store now, decrypt later” risk. They also cover Cloudflare’s work to identify users behind Carrier-Grade NAT, innovations in protocol defense, anonymous credentials, and the story behind WARP VPN. At the heart of it all: how to make the Internet safer, faster, and more transparent, at global scale. Learn more in the blog series: https://blog.cloudflare.com/tag/research/

    Building a Serverless Social App with ATProto & Cloudflare Workers

    In this episode, host João Tomé is joined by Inanna Malick, Systems Engineer at Cloudflare, to talk about how she built a serverless version of a real-time social app that connects to the ATProto ecosystem — the protocol powering platforms like Bluesky. Inanna walks us through her blog post and technical journey, showing how she used Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, and the free tier of our Developer Platform to deploy an open, identity-owned, cryptographically verified social experience — all without running a server. They discuss what makes ATProto different, how Statusphere works (the “Hello World” of open social apps), and what might be coming next in the world of decentralized platforms. Plus: how WebSockets and Durable Objects can be combined to create live, real-time updates — all running serverlessly. Later in the episode, we check in with Keith Adler, Machine Learning Engineer, to hear how Cloudflare is making it easier to explore your data with Python notebooks powered by Marimo.
