Cloudflare Acquires Outerbase to Enhance Developer Experience for AI-Driven Applications

Cloudflare has announced its acquisition of Outerbase, a developer-centric database company, to enhance database capabilities and streamline the developer experience for building AI-powered applications on the Cloudflare Developer Platform. The integration aims to make it easier for developers of all levels to create scalable, database-backed applications across Cloudflare’s global network.

Outerbase, already built on Cloudflare Workers, will be integrated with tools like Durable Objects, D1, and Cloudflare’s Agents SDK, enabling developers to build intelligent, contextual applications without deep SQL knowledge. This move supports Cloudflare’s vision of democratizing access to modern development tools and meeting growing demand for applications that utilize AI agents and conversational data.

The acquisition reinforces Cloudflare’s role in the AI and developer tool ecosystem by simplifying data management and enhancing scalability. Outerbase’s technology will now become part of Cloudflare’s unified platform, helping developers deploy robust applications with speed and reliability.
