What happened
Cloudflare introduced Cache Response Rules, a new feature that allows developers to modify response headers like Set-Cookie or Cache-Control at the edge. This prevents stray headers from bypassing the cache and unnecessarily dragging requests back to the origin server.
Why it matters
For developers and SaaS founders using Cloudflare, this provides a practical way to optimize caching without modifying legacy origin code, improving site performance and reducing origin server load.
Discussion angle
How edge rules can save time and infrastructure costs when dealing with legacy backends that send uncacheable headers.
