A lot of folks have asked for Spend management limits on @Cloudflare for some time now
I've spent the last three months rebuilding our billing usage platform to enable this for our product catalog starting with Workers and Durable Objects and I'm pleased to give you a quick sneak peek 🫣
Shipping on Cloudflare for humans and agents shortly along with an engineering deep dive on how we did it
Send me or @irvinebroque a DM if you want to try it early

Lots of what we ship for @Cloudflare Birthday Week starts with someone asking for it here. Less than a month out. Ask.

It really is just a thin wrapper around Wrangler. Some of this DX should probably make its way upstream but for now here is one more tool in your toolbox
wrangler --temporary is so nice for agents. Tempted to take it an extreme and make a thin wrapper. zero config. zero auth. just deploy anything with a single command.

but Cloudflare is the one exception
their track record so far is solid:
- acquired astro → made it better
- acquired replicate → made it better
- acquired outerbase → cf dashboard is actually usable now
- acquired partykit → integrated it, didn't kill it
most companies just kill what they buy
cloudflare actually makes stuff better

Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days.
It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking what they could learn from the tool to getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories.
I think the cause was that Workspace and certain leaders (and projects) were afraid of being disrupted. But the fear wasn't specific to my CLI, it was a broader fear in what agents meant for Workspace. Either way, the irony of my termination was the announcement at Google Cloud Next two days before I was fired that an official Workspace CLI was coming.
I want this out there because it is easier for me to explain my story and it is an experience I want to fully own. It's also part of my healing.
Nearly 7 years at Google was an incredible opportunity for me and I was fortunate to have wonderful teammates and a manager that fully supported me through these last few months. Thank you.
Of local brands and businesses in London lately, few have impressed me as much as Bear’s new vets at @CreatureComfVet lately
This is how you build brand loyalty (well besides also being fantastic vets)
This guy makes the best videos haha
Hat tip @Jilles 👏

Hold up.
Your agent can now deploy to Cloudflare without an account?!
Yes! We have temporary accounts for AI agent deployments.
I strongly considered doing this for 007 First Light but (almost unfortunately), I enjoy shipping stuff on @CloudflareDev too much

One company serves 23% of the internet and the other one hosts some of the world's largest relational databases. Good partnership.
Workers + Hyperdrive + PlanetScale.
A powerful stack, now with a unified bill in your Cloudflare dashboard.

Today we're rolling out Temporary Accounts on Cloudflare Workers. Any agent can now run wrangler deploy — temporary and get a live Worker in seconds. cfl.re/4ekY0yV
One small step for humans, a big step for agentkind
We've been working on making it much easier for agents to deploy to Cloudflare Workers
AI agents can now deploy a real app without you signing up first, doing OAuth, creating an API token, or clicking through a dashboard
Just wrangler deploy --temporary

Another step towards making @CloudflareDev the default agent cloud from partners in crime @irvinebroque @celso and me
This time with special appearances by @edevil @avenceslau @burcs @BraydenWilmoth
I love this team
