CF GarageThe challenge: deep edge rules without distraction
Internal engineering and IT teams are already juggling infrastructure maintenance, CI/CD pipelines, and application features. When persistent scrapers or complex WAF edge rules demand attention, diving into Cloudflare's nuanced expression builder and rate limiting heuristics takes hours of trial and error.
Common friction points for IT teams:
- Fine-tuning custom WAF expressions: Writing compound filters matching URI paths, ASN numbers, HTTP methods, and client JA3/JA4 fingerprints.
- Rate limiting tuning: Balancing threshold windows (requests per 10s or 60s) without catching legitimate office IPs or multi-tab user flows.
- Least-privilege delegation: Needing external assistance without giving away Super Admin or account-wide credentials.
- Measuring efficacy: Proving to stakeholders that origin load decreased and threat events were stopped with hard data.
How CF Garage collaborates with your team
We operate strictly under the principle of least privilege. You grant us the dedicated Domain Administrator Read Only role (or Domain Administrator for Done for you), strictly scoped to the domain in question.
- Clear, testable deliverables: In DIY mode, we provide exact rule syntax, JSON definitions, and rollback plans ready for your code reviews.
- No meetings or context switching: Async written communication, documented baselines, and measurable KPI benchmarks.
- Immediate origin relief: We tune cache rules and edge challenges to absorb load before it reaches your backend instances.
