Turning Chaos into Control with Cloudflare on Our Hybrid Node.js Stack #229
Description
This is our real-world story of running Node.js across GCP Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, and Kubernetes — and the chaos that came with it. Multiple entry points, inconsistent security, and a wide attack surface made things messy.
In just 20 minutes, I’ll share the long journey of putting it all behind Cloudflare’s edge with Zero Trust, WAF, load balancing, GCP Cloud Armor, and image optimization. You’ll hear lessons, pitfalls, and practical takeaways from securing a complex Node.js platform at scale for one of the biggest e-commerce businesses in London.
