Unlocking the Cloudflare app ecosystem with OAuth for all
Here's a 2-3 sentence summary of the key technical decisions, problems solved, and outcomes: Cloudflare introduced self-managed OAuth, enabling developers to create and manage their own OAuth clients for delegated access to the Cloudflare API. To scale the ecosystem securely, the company upgraded its underlying OAuth engine from Hydra 1.X to 2.X, implementing a blue-green strategy, minimizing write loss during the transition, and creating a queue system for revocation replay. The upgrades improved performance, added features, and resolved issues such as refresh token validation and revocation revocation loss, ultimately enhancing the security and usability of OAuth for all Cloudflare customers.
