Announcing Cloudflare Ambassadors, Community Engineers, and another $1M in open-source funding
↗
Cloudflare announced two community program tracks, Ambassadors and Community Engineers, along with an additional $1M committed to open-source funding.
For engineers building on Cloudflare's developer platform, this signals more community-driven support channels and potentially better-maintained open-source dependencies. The funding is aimed at maintainers of projects that Cloudflare's own platform relies on, which could mean more sustainable upstream libraries rather than ad-hoc patches.
