## Sessions

### [Building an open agentic Internet: Discoverable, callable, and payable](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/building-an-open-agentic-internet-discoverable-callable-and-payable)

Agent Cloud · 34 min

Agents are a new kind of visitor: they don't render your CSS or click your ads, but there's a paying human on the other end of every request — block them, and you block your customer. Today, billions of those requests are bots re-fetching pages that haven't changed: machine effort with no outcome for either side. This talk lays out the four primitives of a web reshaped around this visitor: readable, discoverable, callable, payable — plus the identity layer underneath, and why they have to be built on open standards. How agents read, discover, call, and pay will decide whether the Internet stays open or whether a handful of stacks own discovery, identity, and payments and everyone else routes through them.

### [Turning data questions into data infra with Cloudflare Basin](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/turning-data-questions-into-data-infra-with-the-cloudflare-data-platform)

Agent Cloud · 21 min

Business, product, and go-to-market leaders have questions about what is happening in their businesses. This usually involves teams of engineers instrumenting systems, capturing and processing events, building data pipelines, and managing data infra. What if we could go in the other direction — ask the question, and then use agents to generate all of the infrastructure needed to answer it? This is the agentic future we built for with Cloudflare Basin. In this session, learn what Basin is, how it works, and how anyone — from developers to executives — can build their company’s data infra on it.

- Micah Wylde, Cloudflare

### [Generative media’s breakthrough moment: Insights from Runway](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/generative-medias-breakthrough-moment-insights-from-runway)

Agent Cloud · 20 min

Video models have crossed a threshold. What was a novelty one year ago is now reliable enough to sit inside real production workflows — a shift that looks a lot like the moment code generation went from autocomplete to a Claude Code session. In this talk, Runway Chief Product Officer Anthony Maggio traces how video and world models evolved to this point, why generative media is having its own step-change moment, and what that has meant for building the Runway Agent and Runway Dev. Leave with a clearer picture of where generative media is heading and what it takes to turn a fast-moving model capability into a product people actually use.

### [Ferrisway: Ramp’s global routing layer on Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/isolating-ai-how-ramp-runs-agent-code-for-customers-on-containers)

Agent Cloud · 48 min

Ferrisway is a Cloudflare Worker that serves as Ramp’s global routing layer, handling 100% of production traffic since January — including API requests, authorizations, webhooks, and AI-driven operations such as agent workflows and MCP tool traffic. It routes about half a billion requests each day, averages more than 5,000 requests per second, and processes roughly 10 TB of traffic daily. In this session, learn how Ferrisway makes fast edge routing decisions from cached configuration, while Gother — its cloud-deployed counterpart — provides a reliable source of truth on cache misses. See how Tail Worker–powered tracing maps Cloudflare execution to Gother spans for end-to-end visibility, how zero-traffic and forced-traffic testing make Worker rollouts safe, and how indirect mappings and explicit unresolved-destination behavior create a consistent, resilient routing layer at global scale.

### [The prompt is lava](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/the-prompt-is-lava)

Agent Cloud · 21 min

Sentry, by its nature, needs to ingest untrusted telemetry on behalf of our customers. With the growing number of customers using MCP, and local agents to debug Sentry issues, the prompt injection through telemetry is a real vector of attack. Hear about this specific problem and economical ways to control the issue.

- Greg Pstrucha, Sentry

### [Building durable agents with Durable Objects](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/building-durable-agents-with-durable-objects)

Agent Cloud · 43 min

Durable Objects are the missing primitive for agents: stateful, addressable, isolated services that can live as long as the work requires. In this session, learn how we built an agent cloud entirely on Cloudflare using Durable Objects to model long-lived agents; Cloudflare Workers to compose them; and Cloudflare’s platform for storage, queues, models, artifacts, and sandboxed code execution. Leave this session with a reference architecture for agents that remember, recover, coordinate, and reliably get work done.

### [Break the ceiling of internal productivity with a fast, global filesystem](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/break-the-ceiling-of-internal-productivity-with-a-fast-global-filesystem)

Agent Cloud · 23 min

One of the strongest competitive advantages in this generation of company building is the productivity of your team, in an era where the fastest and leanest teams can outship and outcompete their much larger competitors. This is extremely amplified by AI agents, which can genuinely make teams 10 times more productive. In this session, Jacky Koh, co-founder of Relevance AI, a leading agent-building platform serving agents in production to companies like Databricks, Canva, and Lightspeed, shares the journey of building a new product with the mission of creating a filesystem that maximizes internal productivity. In three months, a team of five working with Cloudflare shipped a full agentic platform across web, desktop, and mobile that has already helped customers replace numerous existing subscriptions and build hyperpersonalized internal tools. Be prepared for a journey and deep dive of technical choices and fun demos.

### [TanStack Start on Workers: Server-rendering apps an AI just wrote](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/tanstack-start-on-workers-server-rendering-apps-an-ai-just-wrote)

Agent Cloud · 21 min

In May, Lovable made TanStack Start the default for every new app it generates: rendered on the server, running on Cloudflare Workers. In this session, Lovable Co-Founder and CTO Fabian Hedin explains what that took. He walks through the SSR request lifecycle, including how loaders execute on the server, how dehydrated router state is streamed inline with no client waterfall on first load, and how routes with no data that varies per request are prerendered at deploy time. He also explores how createServerFn is transformed at build time so code meant only for the server never reaches the client bundle, and how secrets scoped to each project live as Worker bindings and rotate without a redeploy. Finally, he discusses the parts that hurt: isolating memory limits, runtime mismatches, and teaching a model a framework that shipped after its cutoff.

### [12 mistakes we made building an agent platform for 100,000 employees](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/12-mistakes-we-made-building-an-agent-platform-for-100-000-employees)

Agent Cloud · 35 min

We set out to let any TELUS employee ship a working app as easily as they’d send a link: upload a zip, get a live subdomain, done. But when we tried to make that safe, cheap, and durable for a six-figure user base, we got a dozen things wrong. Join this session for a post-mortem exploration of the decisions we made and what we would do differently. Learn from our mistakes in architecture, security, and trusting an agent — or ourselves — more than we should have. With each mistake, we’ll share the symptoms we saw in production, the fixes that actually worked, and the cheaper signals we ignored beforehand. If you’re building developer infrastructure, an agent runtime, or anything multi-tenant where the tenants are your coworkers, you’ll leave with a checklist of failure modes that you can skip paying for yourself.

### [Why modern software engineering needs Durable Objects](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/why-modern-software-engineering-needs-durable-objects)

Agent Cloud · 28 min

As software shifts toward autonomous, long-running agentic systems, traditional stateless serverless architectures are reaching their limits. Modern engineering requires a new default: a persistent, low-latency, colocated state. Join Ashley Peacock, Senior Engineer on the Durable Objects team at Cloudflare, for a practical look at building production-grade, resilient agents on stateful edge infrastructure. Learn how to architect impenetrable systems by taking advantage of recent platform-level enhancements, including built-in platform-driven retries and failure recovery, graceful code deployments that protect long-lived running states, and recent updates to Durable Object lifecycle management. Plus, get an inside look at what’s coming next as we continue to evolve and expand the Durable Objects platform.

### [It’s time to build, not buy](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/its-time-to-build-not-buy)

Agent Cloud · 22 min

“Don’t reinvent the wheel” has always been one of the golden tenants of software engineering — but what happens when the wheel becomes really cheap to reinvent? In the past, buying off-the-shelf software almost always made more sense than building something from scratch, but over the last 12 months, the economics have shifted dramatically, and now all it takes is an engineer getting a little too frustrated with janky SaaS software to build a custom replacement in an afternoon. In this talk, we walk through how we’ve been navigating the build-vs.-buy debate at Cloudflare and how it’s changed a lot of our procurement decisions. We use our custom AI code reviewer as a case study of how we built something from the ground up instead of buying something off the shelf, and we discuss the challenges and hurdles we ran into along the way.

- Ryan Skidmore, Cloudflare

### [Artifacts: Git-compatible versioned storage, from zero to beta in 3 weeks](https://www.cloudflare.com/connect/2026/session/artifacts-git-compatible-versioned-storage-from-zero-to-beta-in-3-weeks)

Agent Cloud · 22 min

Software engineering has fundamentally changed. In three weeks, our team built and shipped the private beta of Artifacts, Cloudflare’s Git-compatible versioned storage for agents — and AI wrote all the code. But AI alone did not make that possible. Engineers owned the architecture, context, constraints, and verification, while Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects provided proven foundations for scale and trust. In this session, hear the story of building Artifacts from zero to beta, what agentic engineering changed about our roles, and why combining capable agents with Cloudflare’s Developer Platform helps small teams ship ambitious production systems faster than ever.

- Dillon Mulroy, Cloudflare
