Cloudflare optimizes core unit boot time: 60% reduction in cold start

Cloudflare's edge units (the small computers running on their routers) now boot 60% faster after a crash or restart. The key change: the 'fast path' (the minimal code needed to reach production) is now isolated from the full binary. Why this matters for us: faster edge unit boot times mean shorter downtime for the millions of small businesses and independent developers who rely on Cloudflare for security and performance.
