Modernize applications

Cloudflare accelerates the time-to-value for your application modernization strategy — whether you are rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, or building new apps.

Launch innovative apps and AI primitives, and regain control of complex app architectures with app delivery, security, observability, and development capabilities — all while lowering costs.

PROBLEM

Ditch legacy, embrace agility

Pressures to integrate AI, meet rising user expectations, and deliver personalized experiences have exposed the fragility of legacy application architectures.

But app modernization efforts often stall due to technology complexity, security concerns, and challenges aligning on strategy.
