Summary
Cloudflare has launched Argo, a "virtual backbone" for the modern Internet that analyzes and optimizes routing decisions across the global network in real-time. Similar to Waze's route optimization feature for automobiles, Argo can efficiently route connections by avoiding packet loss, congestion, and outages. The results are impressive: an average 35% decrease in latency, a 27% decrease in connection errors, and a 60% decrease in cache misses. Argo is priced at $5/domain monthly, plus $0.10 per GB of transfer from Cloudflare to your visitors.
