During Birthday Week 2025, we announced the Cloudflare Data Platform, a suite of products that ingest, store, and query your analytical data. Today, we’re announcing that the platform is generally available, and we’re giving it a new name: Cloudflare Basin.

Basin is a serverless data analytics platform built on Apache Iceberg, the open standard for data lakes, and R2 Object Storage. The Basin family includes:

  • Basin Pipelines, formerly Cloudflare Pipelines, receives events from Workers, HTTP, or Cloudflare Logpush, transforms them with SQL, and writes them as Apache Iceberg tables or files in R2.
  • Basin Catalog, formerly R2 Data Catalog, manages Iceberg metadata and automatically maintains tables to keep them fast and cost-efficient.
  • Basin SQL, formerly R2 SQL, is our serverless, distributed SQL engine for querying Apache Iceberg tables directly on Cloudflare.

Basin brings an end-to-end analytics platform to the Developer Platform, enabling you to collect data from a variety of sources, such as apps, infrastructure, devices, and other Cloudflare services, then query it to answer analytical questions.

We set out to build a data platform last year when we saw two fundamental developments that changed how modern data applications were being built. First, Apache Iceberg emerged as the standard open table format, making data portable across nearly every major query engine. Second, we started seeing developers bring their analytics data to R2 where the lack of egress charges made it practical and cost-efficient to actually access their data from different tools, teams, regions, and cloud providers.

So, when we launched Basin in open beta, developers — including our billing and infrastructure teams at Cloudflare — immediately started adopting these services for a variety of use cases including using real-time data to optimize e-commerce sites, long-term storage and reporting of billing metrics, and ingesting and querying telemetry from Cloudflare’s infrastructure to measure and improve utilization and efficiency.
