Cloudflare announced on Friday that it is acquiring Deno, the startup behind the Deno JavaScript runtime co-founded by Bert Belder and Node.js creator Ryan Dahl. Cloudflare principal engineer Kenton Varda said the deal will help improve the programming model behind Cloudflare Workers, its platform for building and running software on its network. Financial terms were not disclosed; Deno had previously raised $26 million, including a Series A led by Sequoia.

Talorys is a new free, open-source personal AI assistant designed to run entirely within a user's own Cloudflare account, installed via a single npx command. It handles chat, memory of personal facts, task and project management, and scheduled reminders or routines using Durable Object alarms, without any server or database operated by its developers. The tool is built for single-user use with no signup or accounts, and core features like tasks and notes continue working even without AI access.

Cloudflare engineers describe building a deterministic simulation testing (DST) tool for celld, a runtime for running Workers and Durable Objects applications outside Cloudflare's infrastructure using only an S3-compatible object store as an external dependency. The simulator, still in development and not yet public, controls event ordering, timing, and storage responses so that failures involving delayed messages, failed writes, or node restarts can be reliably reproduced and debugged.

Cloudflare has acquired Deno, the JavaScript runtime and development environment, and plans to wind it down over the next year. The author, a longtime user who built a business on Deno, Deno Deploy, Deno Sandboxes and Fresh, says migration to Node or Bun is straightforward since Deno never created strong lock-in.

A Paris Judicial Court has sided with Cloudflare in a dispute with French broadcaster Canal+, rejecting a request for 50,000-euro-per-day penalties over the company's refusal to block pirate sports streams through its 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver. Cloudflare continues to block such sites only through its CDN service, geoblocking 1,238 domains in France in the second half of 2025 under a single court order, while leaving its DNS resolver untouched.

Cloudflare announced that the full Deno team is joining the company, bringing its work on the Deno runtime and Deno Deploy into Cloudflare's infrastructure. The team says its focus will shift to a new project called celld, built on Cloudflare's Workers programming model, aimed at simplifying how developers build and scale distributed server applications.

Mainbrella's backend uses Cloudflare Durable Objects to coordinate machine slot allocation, preventing double booking when multiple requests arrive simultaneously. Each user has an account coordinator that serializes resource reservations before machine boot requests proceed, ensuring consistent capacity management. This approach helps avoid resource conflicts and maintains reliable request handling despite network or system delays.

EmDash now runs every submission to its official plugin registry through Cloudflare's Clef decision model before publication. Clef evaluates listing text, links, icons and screenshots against roughly a dozen categories including phishing, impersonation, hate speech, scams and moderation manipulation, assigning a probability score to each. Listings scoring 0.45 or higher in any category are escalated to a human operator rather than being blocked automatically.

A new open-source framework called Durable Actors offers stateful serverless functions similar to Cloudflare's Durable Objects, but without vendor lock-in or memory limits. It provides durable state and serialized execution for building real-time apps like chat systems, collaborative editors, and agent swarms, with SDKs for TypeScript and Python and the ability to self-host on GCP.

A developer built a new domain lookup application called heade.rs over a weekend, utilizing Claude Code and deploying it on Cloudflare. The tool provides DNS, registration, email, and HTTPS details with a user-friendly interface, all at minimal cost. Unlike commercial options, it is designed solely for usability without sales or upselling.

Cloudflare has released a beta Web Search API that lets AI agents and applications query the live internet rather than relying on a model's training data or guessed URLs. Developers can choose from three launch partners—Ceramic.ai, Exa, and Linkup—all of which support Zero Data Retention and Cloudflare's verified bot crawling standards. The API runs through AI Gateway, logging requests and billing them at each provider's list price with no markup, and can be called via REST API or a Worker AI binding.

Cloudflare is inviting developers to build a next-generation code collaboration platform on top of Artifacts, its versioned filesystem that speaks Git and can scale to millions of repositories, now in open beta. The company is framing this as infrastructure for coordinating large numbers of AI coding agents working simultaneously on the same codebase, rather than human-centric workflows like branches and pull requests. Entrants would use Cloudflare Workers and Artifacts as the underlying primitives, while building the coordination, review and merge layer themselves.
