Live Cloudflare Quick Reference

Master reference of the entire Cloudflare product line — every product, plan tier, industry angle, common objection, and gotcha. The one-page-of-truth for any prospect conversation. The page itself is also a running tech demo — Pages + Access + Worker (cheatsheet-chatbot) + Workers AI (llama-4-scout-17b) + AI Gateway + Durable Objects (Presence). Weekly freshness-audit cron keeps it current against the live Cloudflare changelog. Requires Cloudflare Access sign-in (Google account).
