Unlocking the Cloudflare app ecosystem with OAuth for all

Self-Managed OAuth is now available to all developers on Cloudflare. Here's how we executed a zero-downtime migration of our core OAuth engine to make it happen.

Why this matters
Why now

Cloudflare is solidifying its ecosystem strategy by enabling broader integration, likely responding to increasing demand for flexible and secure API access across its developer platform.

Why it’s important

This move enhances Cloudflare's platform utility and stickiness, fostering an expanded developer ecosystem that could attract more services and applications into its infrastructure.

What changes

Cloudflare's developer platform becomes more open and programmable, allowing a wider range of third-party integrations and custom applications to leverage Cloudflare services securely.
