Introduces WebRTC Components, a new suite of products designed to help build the next generation of real-time, interactive applications by leveraging Cloudflare's global edge network to improve connectivity for WebRTC-based video and audio applications. This includes scaling to tens of thousands of participants, leveraging DDoS mitigation, and enforcing IP and ASN-based access policies. The platform aims to abstract the need to manage and configure low-level infrastructure, authentication, authorization, and participant permissions, offering developer-first APIs for participants, rooms, and channels. It also integrates with Cloudflare for Teams for organizational access policies, and with Stream Live and Stream Connect for broadcasting and recording.
