Cloudflare announces acquisition of Linc

Positioned in the optimization of content delivery, Cloudflare has acquired Linc and its front-end site creation automation platform.

Specialized in content delivery optimization, load balancing and network security services, Cloudflare is strengthening its efforts to automate the creation of front-end sites. And it is through an external acquisition, that of the Australian Link, that Cloudflare chooses to operate. This acquisition comes a few days after the launch of Pages, an environment to facilitate the development and hosting of JAMstack sites. “We see a huge opportunity with Pages. It goes beyond making static site deployment as simple as possible and extending that same ease of use to building fully dynamic applications, ” Cloudflare said in a  blog post voice gateways cisco.

To take this strategy a step further, the supplier is therefore getting its hands on the Linc automation platform aimed at front-end site developers to enable them to collaborate more effectively and design rich applications faster. “Linc has done an incredible job with Frontend Application Bundles, making dynamic backends more accessible to front-end developers,” the post explains. “Their approach offers a straightforward path to building end-to-end applications on Pages, with both front-end logic and powerful back-end logic in one package. With the addition of Linc, we will accelerate Pages to enable richer and more powerful full-stack applications ”
