Cloudflare has introduced Workers VPC and Workers VPC Private Link, two new offerings that allow developers to build secure, global applications on its Workers platform while maintaining seamless access to data and services in legacy cloud environments and on-premises networks. These tools are designed to remove the complexity and cost barriers associated with traditional Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs), enabling developers to build across platforms without being constrained by data location or infrastructure.
Workers VPC acts as a modern, region-agnostic version of the traditional VPC by isolating an application’s Cloudflare resources into a secure environment where only internal resources can communicate. Workers VPC Private Link extends this capability by securely linking Cloudflare-based applications to external VPCs in legacy public or private clouds, effectively creating a unified environment across disparate systems. Together, these capabilities streamline cross-cloud development while maintaining strict security and privacy standards.
Cloudflare says these new solutions are built on its private networking foundation and will be available later this year. The company is positioning its Workers platform as an attractive option for developers seeking scalable compute with simplified, secure access to core business data and legacy infrastructure, regardless of geography or cloud provider.

“Developers deserve to be able to build with whatever tools they want, no matter where their data lives or what infrastructure they rely on,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare.
