More on Cloudflare for SaaS
Listen in on our episode of Cloudflare TV discussing the benefits of Cloudflare for SaaS. Learn how it gives SaaS providers more performant global web properties, a stronger security posture and instant worldwide scalability. What's more is they can extend their Cloudflare performance and security benefits to their customers. Tune in to find out how.
Improve your security posture - and extend it to your customers
SaaS providers have a lot to worry about. Attackers are trying to intercept sensitive customer data in transit. In addition, DDoS attacks and other cyber threats can negatively impact app reliability and performance.
Cloudflare’s suite of security solutions encrypts customer data and shields applications from data breaches and other cyber abuse.
SSL for SaaS
Protect your customers’ data in transit. Easily enable SSL (TLS) on customers’ CNAME vanity domains and let Cloudflare handle SSL certificate management.
DDoS Protection
Get powerful DDoS protection for you and your customers with unmetered mitigation on our 197 Tbps global network.
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Protect SaaS applications and customer vanity domains. Create unique sets of WAF rules for individual customers depending on their required level of protection.
Are you ready to extend Cloudflare benefits to your customers?
The performance & reliability your customers expect
Application sluggishness and downtime alienate customers, reduce conversions, and negatively impact search engine rankings. However, ensuring low latency and high availability is a challenge because so many variables are involved, including server health and workload, geographic distance from the server to the end user, application design, and DDoS attacks.
Cloudflare’s performance solutions help SaaS providers convert and retain more customers by delivering consistently high-performing, highly reliable apps to global user bases.
Global CDN
The customizable Cloudflare CDN increases performance and enhances agility by giving you granular control over content caching and purging. Decide exactly when to fetch data, purge by tag, and set customizable cache expiration periods (TTL).
Argo Smart Routing
SaaS providers must offer blazing fast applications to customers. When a visitor is far from the origin, Argo can improve performance by 30-40% by delivering dynamic content over the fastest network links in real time.
Load Balancing
Reduce latency and improve reliability with local and global load balancing. Cloudflare load balancing solution also includes health checks with fast failover to rapidly route visitors away from failures.
Speed up app development & delivery with serverless
Cloudflare Workers is a serverless JavaScript and WASM execution environment that lets developers enhance existing applications or create entirely new ones without having to configure or maintain servers or containers.
Applications built with Workers run on the Cloudflare global network. Application logic is delivered within milliseconds from your users, ensuring high availability, low-latency responsiveness, and scalability to support spikes in demand.
With Cloudflare, it is simple to build your SaaS application on Workers and extend the benefits of Cloudflare’s product suite to your end customers.
Once we started using Workers it was really fast to get up to speed. It was like, 'oh, I can just go into this playground and write Javascript which I totally know how to do' — and then it just works.

Save big on egress fees with the Bandwidth Alliance
Egress fees, also known as bandwidth or data transfer fees, are a perennial pain point for SaaS providers. Often, these fees make up the largest portion of a provider’s cloud services bill.
If your app is hosted by a public cloud provider, you may be able to significantly reduce your egress fees through the Bandwidth Alliance – a group of forward-thinking cloud and networking companies that are committed to discounting or waiving data transfer fees for shared customers.
