HOW THIS IS ALL BUILT

One codebase. Deployed to 330+ cities. Zero servers to run.

01 · EDGE

Runs where players are

Every game is served from the closest Cloudflare location, so play starts instantly worldwide.

02 · WORKERS

No servers, no scaling drama

Game logic runs on Cloudflare Workers. It scales to any crowd automatically — you never provision a box.

03 · DURABLE OBJECTS

Real-time multiplayer rooms

Live matches sync through Durable Objects — the same primitive behind our multiplayer Freedoom rooms on Cloudflare.

04 · ONE DEPLOY

Ship once, everywhere

A single deploy pushes the whole arcade global. That is the pitch: this is what your app could be.

HOW EVERYTHING IS DEPLOYED

Every request, every game — one Cloudflare deployment.

A play request hits the closest of Cloudflare's 330+ edge locations, passes abuse protection, and is served by a Worker that fans out to static assets, real-time Durable Object rooms, and analytics. No origin servers. No regions to manage.

Flarecade deployment architecture on Cloudflare: player's browser to the Cloudflare edge network across 330+ locations, through rate limiting to Workers, which serve static assets, Durable Object multiplayer rooms, and Analytics Engine.

CLOUDFLARE IS THE FRONT DOOR

Public to play. Identity-aware where it matters.

In the proposed production architecture, every request reaches Cloudflare's edge first. Public traffic branches directly to the arcade. Separately configured Cloudflare Access applications evaluate identity and policy before protected developer or administration traffic reaches Flarecade.

01

ACCESS

One governed entry point

Configured Access policy controls entry to protected applications. Flarecade's separate control plane then handles application status and blocks pending, rejected, or suspended accounts.

02

DEVELOPER PATH

Idea to reviewed candidate

Explore the intended path from a CloudflareOS workspace through AI-assisted iteration, build checks, edge preview, and submission review.

03

CONTROL PLANE

Operate without casual identity exposure

Operators review applications, appeals, pseudonymous policy findings, attribution requests, and immutable audit history by role.

LIVE PLATFORM PORTALS

Step behind the arcade.

These are the live, Cloudflare Access-gated portals. The developer portal is open sign-up via one-time PIN; the control room is restricted to platform administrators.

Classics

The ones you grew up with — open-source and licensed.

Originals

Each one teaches a Cloudflare product. Developed, deployed & delivered on Cloudflare — coming soon.
