Traffic transparency: unleashing the power of Cloudflare Trace
Sep 25, 2023Matt Bullock

Summary
Introduced Cloudflare Trace, a new product that provides detailed visibility into how HTTP requests traverse Cloudflare's configuration and which rules are applied. This feature allows users to understand the journey of their traffic through Cloudflare's complex ecosystem, debug issues related to rule application, and export trace data for support tickets. The development of Trace was informed by internal tools like Flute and customer feedback, aiming to strike a balance between detail and usability.
