Introduced WebRTC Components, a new suite of products designed to help build the next generation of real-time, interactive applications. This includes leveraging Cloudflare's global edge network to improve connectivity for existing WebRTC-based video and audio applications, enabling scaling to tens of thousands of participants, leveraging DDoS mitigation, and enforcing IP and ASN-based access policies. The platform will offer developer-first APIs for managing participants, rooms, and channels, integration with Cloudflare for Teams, broadcasting to traditional HTTP streaming clients and recording with Stream Live, ingesting from RTMP sources with Stream Connect, and embedded serverless capabilities via Cloudflare Workers.
