Cloudflare, Inc., a leading connectivity cloud company, is releasing Cloudflare Basin, a data platform for developers and enterprises offering a simpler, more affordable way to build applications powered by their data.
Built on Apache Iceberg and Cloudflare R2, Basin gives teams an open, serverless way to ingest, store, catalog, and query analytical data across the tools they already use, according to Cloudflare.
Data is stored in an open, industry-standard format that any compatible tool can read directly—there is no copying, no converting, no lock-in. Collection, organization, and analysis all run on Cloudflare's network on demand, with no dedicated servers to manage and no fees to move data in or out.
“Developers shouldn’t need to become data infrastructure operators just to answer questions from their own data,” said Dane Knecht, CTO at Cloudflare. “With Cloudflare Basin, we are bringing the same serverless model that developers expect from Cloudflare to analytics: no clusters to manage, no unnecessary data movement, and open standards that keep customers in control of their data.”
With Basin, customers can:
- Own Their Data, Not Just Access It: Data is stored in Apache Iceberg, an open, industry-standard format, so teams can analyze it with any compatible tool and are never locked into a single vendor.
- Skip the Server Setup: Basin runs on Cloudflare’s global network which allows developers to ingest, store, and query data in seconds without provisioning or managing infrastructure.
- Eliminate Data Transfer Fees: Querying data using tools from different clouds, platforms, or regions carries no transfer fees.
“We moved our entire company's data pipeline to Basin Pipelines, Catalog, and SQL,” said Dax Raad, co-founder of Anomaly, creators of open source AI coding agent OpenCode, “We replaced a complex AWS S3 and Athena setup with a cleaner, serverless architecture that reliably handles all of our event data.”
Cloudflare Basin is generally available now.
