Tangled has released a code forge that combines Git with the AT Protocol, letting developers self-host any combination of components—Git hosting, CI runners, API servers, or the UI—while still collaborating with users on other instances. The project also ships custom extension options, including third-party 'knots' and 'spindles' built by outside developers on platforms like Cloudflare Workers.
A technical write-up describes a telemetry pipeline that uses two alternating Cloudflare Queues, switched via modulo arithmetic on UTC timestamps, to continuously capture events without interrupting ingestion. An hourly consumer task drains the inactive queue, compresses the batched events, and writes them to Cloudflare R2 using a partitioning scheme based on time.
A developer published 'whatsapp-mcp,' an open-source project that lets AI assistants like Claude search and read a user's WhatsApp messages. Users link their phone like WhatsApp Web, and the server stores message data in a SQLite database inside a Cloudflare Durable Object under their own account. The tool can read, search and recall contact names but cannot send messages, and requires a Cloudflare Workers Paid plan to run.
Varonis Threat Labs discovered AvisLoader, a new Windows malware loader found on an exposed staging server alongside a ClickFix phishing lure and its control panel. The malware is delivered via a fake DocuSign verification page hosted on Cloudflare Workers that tricks victims into pasting and running a malicious command, which then fetches code from a Cloudflare Quick Tunnel address.
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 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.
Cloudflare announced that Python Workers, the runtime it introduced two years ago to run Python code on its edge network, is now generally available. Developers can use existing Python code and popular frameworks like FastAPI, Django, and Flask, and connect them to Cloudflare services such as Workers AI, R2, D1, Hyperdrive, Durable Objects, Queues, and Workflows.
A developer known as MAAN built a browser-based demo that reimplements Nvidia's DLSS 5 neural rendering network using WebGPU compute shaders, hosted on Cloudflare Workers with adjustable settings and sample scenes. The port reportedly works on non-Nvidia GPUs and even macOS, using roughly 147MB of extracted model weights alongside a small JavaScript runtime, though each rendered frame currently takes one to two seconds. MAAN says the weights came from a leaked DLSS 5 library file and plans to release the source code on GitHub soon.
A developer released ResolveHQ, a self-hostable customer support helpdesk built using Cloudflare Workers, D1 database, R2 storage, and Queues rather than traditional cloud infrastructure. The tool offers ticket management, email threading, a public knowledge base, reporting, and opt-in AI-drafted replies, targeting small support teams that want to run their own instance.
A blogger detailed how they replaced their static site's contact form backend with Cloudflare Pages Functions, combining reCAPTCHA v3 (or optionally Cloudflare Turnstile) with the Resend email service to block spam submissions. The setup collects a visitor's name, email and message, then routes it through a Worker to a custom email address for filtering. The approach was inspired by a prior migration guide from Netlify to Cloudflare by developer Sia Karamalegos.
