Cloudflare co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince apologised in the post late Tuesday, stating that this outage was the worst the company has experienced since 2019.

Cloudflare Inc. has acquired Replicate Inc., a startup with software that makes it easier to deploy artificial intelligence models in production.
