  1. How Commerce.com and Cloudflare are getting storefronts ready for AI agents

    Commerce.com and Cloudflare collaborated to enable WebMCP at the edge for nearly 100,000 storefronts, allowing AI agents to interact reliably with e-commerce sites using structured tools rather than fragile HTML scraping. The team implemented edge-level configuration rules using custom hostname metadata to provide individual merchants with a seamless opt-out mechanism and added support for custom MCP paths. This integration allows agents to execute shopping tasks directly within the active browser session while ensuring fallback safety and zero extra latency for opted-out stores.

  2. 8 eMudhra certificates are compromised. Here's what you need to know

    Private keys associated with eight eMudhra intermediate certificates were compromised, allowing potential traffic interception. Cloudflare prioritized patching critical services, released client and tunnel updates, and deployed mitigations across its products. Customers are advised to upgrade affected software, update custom trust stores, and avoid disabling verification despite error messages.

  3. 4 team rituals that drive AI adoption

    To drive team-wide AI adoption beyond isolated power users, several companies introduced collaborative team rituals such as peer-led study groups, process-focused sharing forums, cross-disciplinary training, and prototype-first critiques. These forums helped bridge knowledge gaps, reduce intimidation, and build consistent habits. As a result, teams were able to move from individual experimentation to collective AI usage.

  4. How we make AI coding more cost efficient without sacrificing task quality

    GitHub optimized GitHub Copilot to improve cost efficiency without sacrificing task quality by evaluating changes across the entire agentic workflow. The team implemented four targeted adjustments including selective output compression, removing unused line-number formatting, shortening prompts via meta-prompting with behavioral tests, and delivering background work completions directly. These modifications reduced token usage and model inference costs globally without causing task-success regressions.

  5. A fully programmable secure web gateway

    Cloudflare integrated its secure web gateway and data loss prevention services with its edge computing platform to allow customers to run custom code inline during policy evaluation. The team introduced a new Forward action for traffic transformation and Custom Functions for dynamic rule evaluation without requiring external proxy infrastructure. This enables complex security logic, real-time alerting, and dynamic header injection with zero network hop overhead.

  6. Workflow lab: Staying in the flow with Figma’s agent

    A fictional designer at Offtrail updates a permission settings flow using the Figma agent to handle repetitive maintenance, compliance checks, and component specs. By offloading busywork and context gathering to the agent, the designer focuses on feature logic and design decisions while keeping outputs connected in a shared canvas.

  7. How to lighten design system upkeep with the Figma agent

    Design systems often suffer from maintenance overhead like documentation debt, naming inconsistencies, and drift between product screens and libraries. The Figma agent automates these upkeep tasks by drafting specs, auditing token and component usage, and bulk-replacing disconnected elements. This reduces manual toil and helps teams keep their design systems aligned with product work.

  8. Localizing compliance at scale: achieving South Korea’s ISMS certification

    To achieve South Korea's ISMS certification, Cloudflare had to modify its account sign-up flow to itemize required consents and disable third-party social logins that bypassed the form. By combining IP geolocation with user country selection, the team ensured localized compliance without breaking global functionality. The resulting certification provides a localized assurance benchmark for Korean users.

  9. Beyond the patch: Protecting your NetScaler gateway against future vulnerabilities

    Recent major vulnerabilities in Citrix NetScaler exposed public-facing authentication gateways to unauthenticated remote code execution. To prevent similar emergency patches, the team recommends placing an independent Zero Trust access layer, web application firewall, and strict origin connection controls in front of the application server. Implementing these defense-in-depth measures reduces exposure and ensures a single software flaw does not result in total system compromise.

  10. Behind the build: Generative plugins and shaders at Figma

    Figma developed generative plugins and shaders by replacing a prototype WebGL system with an enterprise-scale WebGPU pipeline, sandbox isolation, and custom UI kits. Through rapid prototyping and cross-functional collaboration, the team shipped the feature suite in two months for Config.

  11. How do you actually measure the impact of AI on design?

    Figma conducted a multi-year research project to track the impact of AI on product design by building an AI sentiment index and running hundreds of AI-moderated interviews. To process the massive volume of qualitative data, the team engineered a custom thematic analysis tool and an internal dashboard to serve as a cross-functional source of truth. The results showed that AI's impact on workflows and collaboration nearly doubled over three years.
