Introducing HTTP request traffic insights on Cloudflare Radar

This post introduces HTTP request traffic as a new metric on Cloudflare Radar, complementing existing byte-based traffic graphs. It details the implementation of this new metric, including its integration into the Overview and Traffic sections of Radar, and explains the value of request-based insights for distinguishing real events from data pipeline issues and for better reflecting user activity, especially with the rise of API traffic. The post also clarifies the difference between bytes and requests, using Portugal's traffic patterns as an example.
