A lot of people asked for this in my tweet last week!
@SidChatterjee (the legend) has been cooking this for a while
Another of our most common asks being solved!
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
What are your big asks from @Cloudflare ? Where are we falling short today?
This might be analytics, logs, traces, going from a problem to the answer, etc.
We've shipped a lot of great tools but I'm sure that's just shown new gaps - so tell me about them! 👀

Cloudflare Tracing is now in open beta 🚀
Our teams rely on traces everyday to understand what happens to a request as it moves through our platform. Cloudflare Traces brings that same visibility to you.
✅Get automatic spans throughout the entire request
✅Control what gets traced with trace rules
✅Propagate traces across your stack a la W3C trace context
✅Query traces through our dashboard, SQL API or Cloudflare MCP
✅Export traces to any OTLP-compatible destination
Introducing Cloudflare Traces
Today we're launching Cloudflare Traces, a way for you to get an unprecedented view into requests going through Cloudflare!
Why was a request blocked?
Why did a request fail?
Why was a request slow?
Find out with Traces!

Black box? Consider it observed 🤝
We’re building one observability platform to give you more visibility across Cloudflare services, the entire Workers platform, and even into your origin.

I've been helping customers debug issues for years now and our internal tracing at Cloudflare has always been the best tool for the job. Logs & analytics give a partial story. Understanding _exactly_ what, how and when something happened in a request is vital information
Tracing gives you that. This will let you view exactly what happened in Cloudflare, what rules ran, what was matched, what was changed, what Worker we routed to, did we go to cache, did we go to an upper tier, did we move colos with Argo Smart Routing, etc.
I am sooo fricking excited for this!!
Please try it out, let me know any issues or feedback you have!
Also worth noting, this is just the beginning - we have a LOT more to do on Traces - more spans, more info, more services, etc.
Traces is free until December 1st so try it out!

production errors should not sit in a dashboard waiting for someone to copy a stack trace into a prompt 😿
today we’re introducing Workers Issues -- built-in error monitoring that can send production failures straight to your agent ✨
