Cloudflare has announced the open beta of Cloudflare Data Platform, a managed solution for ingesting, storing, and querying analytical data tables using open standards such as Apache Iceberg. The platform combines Cloudflare Pipelines, R2 Data Catalog, and R2 SQL, and is explained by Micah Wylde, principal engineer at Cloudflare, Alex Graham, senior systems engineer at Cloudflare, and Jérôme Schneider, staff software engineer at Cloudflare. Jamie Lord, solution architect at CDS UK, highlights one of the main advantages of the new platform, the standard Cloudflare "no egress fees" to access data. Cloudflare claims that integration with Logpush, user-defined functions via Workers, and aggregations and joins in R2 SQL will follow in the first half of 2026. A tutorial is available to create an end-to-end analytical data system using Pipelines, R2 Data Catalog, and R2 SQL. Pipelines, R2 Data Catalog, and R2 SQL are not billed during the open beta, but storage and operations incurred by queries are charged at standard rates.
