Cloudflare Expands Its Developer Platform with Outerbase Technology. The Acquisition Aims to Make Building AI-Driven Applications with Database Support More Accessible.
Cloudflare has acquired Outerbase to simplify the building of database-driven applications on its Developer Platform. Outerbase’s technology, already built on Cloudflare Workers, will be integrated into existing tools such as Durable Objects, D1, and the Agents SDK. This will provide developers with more accessible interfaces to develop AI-driven applications without in-depth SQL knowledge.
Database interfaces
Cloudflare has acquired Outerbase. This company developed a platform that simplifies database interaction for developers. Outerbase’s technology is now being integrated into Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare’s serverless platform. As a result, developers will get more user-friendly tools to build database-driven applications without in-depth knowledge of SQL.
With this acquisition, Cloudflare aims to strengthen its position in the domain of AI-driven applications. Outerbase’s technology aligns with Cloudflare’s own tools, such as Durable Objects, D1, and the Agents SDK. This combination should make it easier for development teams to build AI agents that maintain context and process data efficiently.
AI applications
The rise of AI agents is leading to an increase in software projects that heavily rely on databases. These databases need to be not only fast and scalable but also easy to manage for a wide range of developers. Cloudflare aims to address this need by offering accessible interfaces with Outerbase.
