We are excited to announce that Electe has been accepted into the prestigious Cloudflare for Startups, an award that comes after we have already successfully deployed several Cloudflare technologies in our infrastructure and will allow us to further expand our technology capabilities.

‍

What is Cloudflare for Startups?

Cloudflare for Startups is an exclusive program reserved for the most promising startups, offering up to $250,000 in credits to access the full suite of Cloudflare services.

‍

The program is not open to everyone; Cloudflare carefully selects startups based on their growth potential, product innovation, and team strength. Acceptance is therefore an important recognition of Electe 's quality and potential in our industry.

‍

The technologies we have already implemented

Our partnership with Cloudflare is not new. We have already successfully integrated several key services that have transformed the performance and security of our platform:

‍

Global CDN and Loading Optimization: Operational

We have deployed Cloudflare's content delivery network with its more than 300 data centers in more than 100 countries. Content from the Electe platform is now served from the server closest geographically to our users, dramatically reducing loading times globally.

‍

Our optimizations include intelligent compression, automatic CSS/JavaScript minify, and image optimization. Every element of our platform is loaded as efficiently as possible, with tangible results: we have seen a 45% reduction in loading times compared to the previous configuration.

‍

Cloudflare Workers for Cookie Logging

We developed and implemented a proprietary solution using Cloudflare Workers for cookie management and logging. Our Workers process and track cookie interactions directly on edge servers, ensuring compliance with GDPR and CCPA while providing detailed analytics on user behaviors.

‍

This edge-based implementation means that cookie management occurs with minimal latency, improving performance while we maintain granular control over user tracking and privacy data.

‍

AI Crawl Control: Active Monitoring

One of the implementations we are most proud of is our advanced AI crawler control system. With the explosion of automated bots scanning the web to train AI models, we created a sophisticated system that:

‍

• Identifies and blocks unauthorized AI crawlers while protecting our server resources
• Selectively manages access by allowing only legitimate crawlers to index our content
• Protects intellectual property by preventing misuse of our data for AI training

Enterprise DNS Management: Active

Our migration to Cloudflare DNS brought us immediate benefits:

• DNS resolution with times under 8ms on global average
• Zero downtime thanks to automatic failover and redundancy
• Intelligent geographic load balancing that distributes traffic optimally
• Comprehensive protection from DNS attacks and cache poisoning

R2 Storage and DDoS Protection: Implemented

Our R2 storage effectively manages media content without egress costs, while DDoS protection has already mitigated 3 significant attacks in recent months without impacting our users.

‍

The results already achieved

Current implementations have produced measurable improvements:

‍

Performance: 45% reduction in loading time and 30% reduction in bounce rate

‍Security: 100% uptime in the past 6 months, zero security breach

‍Efficiency: 60% reduction in bot traffic, 40% optimization of server resources

‍Compliance: full GDPR/CCPA compliance with edge-based cookie management

‍

‍Costs: 35% reduction in bandwidth and storage costs.

‍

Upcoming implementations

Acceptance into the Cloudflare for Startups program now allows us to further expand our technological capabilities. In the coming months we will implement:

‍

‍Stream: For optimized and adaptive video delivery.

‍WorkersKV: For distributed edge storage of configurations and caches.

‍MagicTransit: For advanced protection of our network infrastructure.

‍Spectrum: For DDoS protection over non-HTTP protocols.

‍Accessand Gateway: For advanced internal access security

‍

Why this program accelerates our growth

Having already successfully implemented Cloudflare's core services demonstrates the maturity of our infrastructure and the expertise of our technical team. The for Startups program now allows us to:

‍

• Exploring advanced services that would otherwise be economically prohibitive
• Experimenting with emerging technologies without budget constraints
• Scale more aggressively knowing you have an enterprise-grade infrastructure
• Innovate faster by focusing resources on development instead of infrastructure costs

The recognition of our path

Acceptance into the program is not only a recognition of our future potential, but also of the soundness of what we have already built. Cloudflare evaluated not only our vision, but also our ability to execute demonstrated through implementations that are already operational.

‍

Next steps

We will continue to expand our Cloudflare infrastructure with a methodical, data-driven approach. Each new implementation will be driven by precise metrics and tested gradually to ensure continuous improvements in user experience.

‍

In the coming weeks we will begin the rollout of Cloudflare Images and Stream, followed by advanced security implementations. We will regularly share the results and optimizations achieved.

‍

This program represents an accelerator for ambitions already underway. Electe continues to invest in the best available technologies to offer an increasingly high-performance, secure and reliable service to our users.

‍

Cloudflare for Startups is a selective program that has supported the growth of startups that have since become unicorns such as Discord, Shopify and Canva.

‍

Electe is proud to join this community of innovators, bringing with it an already solid infrastructure and an ambitious roadmap.
