Evolving Cloudflare’s Threat Intelligence Platform: actionable, scalable, and ETL-less
Mar 3, 2026Blake Darché, Alexandra Moraru, Brian Seel, Jacob Crisp
Summary
Introduced a sharded, SQLite-backed architecture for the Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) using Durable Objects, eliminating ETL pipelines and enabling real-time GraphQL queries on the edge. Implemented parallel query execution across shards via Workers, dynamic visualizations (Sankey diagrams), attribute mapping for correlating threat events, saved configurations for real-time notifications, and automated STIX2 exports. Leveraged Cloudflare Queues for ingestion, R2 for long-term retention, and Hyperdrive for edge compute.
