DESCRIPTION
Ricky Robinett interviews Ashley Peacock, author of "Serverless Apps on Cloudflare", about the developer platform side of Cloudflare. Ashley explains how Cloudflare has evolved from primarily a security company to a full-fledged developer platform with global deployment capabilities, databases, caching solutions, and AI tools.

They discuss the unique aspects of Cloudflare's architecture, including global deployment by default, bindings that simplify resource connections without requiring secrets management, and excellent local development experience.

Ashley highlights several Cloudflare products including Workers (serverless functions), D1 (SQLite database), KV (key-value store), R2 (object storage), Durable Objects, and AI offerings like Workers AI and AI Gateway. The conversation covers developer experience, using AI assistants for coding, and the benefits of Cloudflare's approach to simplifying cloud development.
