I'm really impressed with the Cloudflare Engineering team, their collective knowledge, and their ability to roll up their sleeves and optimize the hell out of the products and services they run. From looking in, it seems almost everything they run has been source code customized to their requirements, from OpenSSL, to JPEG compression, to their HTTP/2 implementation.
- jgrahamc 9y agoWe switched away from OpenSSL to BoringSSL (in part to get rid of our own modifications): https://blog.cloudflare.com/make-ssl-boring-again/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/make-ssl-boring-again/
