Cloudflare's core offerings include content delivery network (CDN) services, which help speed up the delivery of web content to users around the globe.

Cloudflare's market is vast and growing, as the need for faster, more secure internet services continues to rise. Their technology stack includes innovative tools like Cloudflare Workers, which allow developers to build and deploy applications directly on Cloudflare's network, and Cloudflare Pages, a platform for deploying websites quickly and efficiently.

In summary, Cloudflare is a key player in the internet infrastructure space, providing essential tools and services to improve the speed, security, and reliability of online experiences.
