Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: CloudFlare's 45th data center

This post announces the deployment of Cloudflare's 45th global point of presence (PoP) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It highlights the technical challenge of 'boomeranging' traffic due to limited domestic interconnection in certain Asian regions and explains how Cloudflare's membership in the MyIX neutral Internet Exchange Point (IXP) resolves this issue, enabling local interconnection of ISPs. This improves load times and application performance for Malaysian users and Cloudflare customers.
