How they use Cloudflare
BEAM leverages Cloudflare's comprehensive suite of services to deliver a reliable and scalable streaming infrastructure. The platform utilizes R2 for cost-effective storage of user content, Workers and Workers-KV for global static content delivery, and D1 for game and stream data management. Cloudflare's WAF and Zero Trust solutions provide essential security layers for API and internal services.
Geographic request routing through Cloudflare Load Balancers ensures optimal performance by directing users to the nearest edge locations. This infrastructure enables BEAM to maintain sub-second latency for chat messages and stream management while providing a responsive, reliable service across multiple regions.
