How we built it: the technology behind Cloudflare Radar 2.0

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has launched a new version of its website, Radar 2.0, which was built using the company's own products and services. The architecture of the site is divided into three main layers - Core layer, Cloudflare network layer, and Client layer. The new Radar features improved user experience, enhanced data insights, and better navigation. It also uses server-side functions for rendering and running the backend API. Remix, a popular framework for building web applications, was used in conjunction with Cloudflare Pages to optimize performance and reduce network traffic. Additionally, the site makes use of SVGs for images and graphical assets, which are scalable and efficient. The development process involved continuous integration and deployment, accessibility and localization considerations, and the use of Jupyter notebooks for data exploration and storytelling.
