Announcing support for gRPC
Oct 1, 2020Achiel van der Mandele

Summary
This post introduces beta support for proxying gRPC traffic through Cloudflare. This involved changes to the request processing pipeline to identify gRPC traffic, adding functionality to the WAF to understand gRPC, and enabling HTTP/2 connections to customer origins for gRPC traffic. This allows Cloudflare's security, reliability, and performance features to be applied to gRPC APIs.
