About the Department
Media Platform is part of the Emerging Technologies & Incubation (ETI) organization, where new and bold products are built and released within Cloudflare. Rather than being constrained by the structures which make Cloudflare a massively successful business, we are able to leverage them to deliver entirely new tools and products to our customers. Cloudflare's edge and network make it possible to solve problems at massive scale and efficiency which would be impossible for almost any other organization. Media Platform is focused on images, video and Cloudflare TV.
