Cloudflare servers don’t own IPs anymore – so how do they connect to the Internet?

Historically, we have rarely talked about how our servers fetch
the content from the Internet. In this blog we’re going to cover

Why everything looks the same

Real-time paradigm shifts like no-code, cloud computing, drop shipping, AI, and remote work are democratizing entrepreneurship in unprecedented ways.

That means more crowded markets, more intense competition, and more value placed on uniqueness, or what VCs call “alpha.”
