Cloudflare Enterprise customers can now self-serve CDN upload limits up to 5 GB!

Cloudflare Changelog ★★★ View Markdown

Hey everyone, it's me! I found a nice little Cloudflare update today, so let's dive right in!

Cloudflare Changelog developers.cloudflare.com

What was announced?

According to the Cloudflare Changelog, Enterprise customers can now configure a zone's CDN Maximum Upload Size directly from the Network page in the Cloudflare dashboard, up to 5 GB. Before this, you had to contact your account team or Cloudflare Support to get that setting changed.

The story so far

Cloudflare's default maximum upload size is still 500 MB. If your application needed to accept request bodies larger than 500 MB but no greater than 5 GB, you had to reach out to your account team or Cloudflare Support to raise the limit. Waiting on support just to tweak a configuration value was a bit of a hassle.

What changes

Now, Enterprise customers can raise the limit themselves from the dashboard without waiting on support. If you're running an application that needs to accept large uploads, this means much faster turnaround when you need to change this setting. Just keep in mind that limits above 5 GB still require going through your account team or Cloudflare Support.

Dive Deep

Here's what you can configure and what to watch out for:

  • Where to configure it: the Network page in the Cloudflare dashboard
  • Self-serve range: from the 500 MB default up to 5 GB
  • Above 5 GB: still requires contacting your account team or Cloudflare Support
  • Caveat: very large uploads may hit connection or read timeouts before reaching your configured size limit

Cloudflare also recommends making sure clients and origins allow enough time to complete the transfer when you increase this setting. For more details, they point to the Cache upload limits and Workers request body size limits documentation.

Wrap-up

  • Enterprise customers can now self-serve CDN max upload size up to 5 GB
  • The default remains 500 MB
  • Limits above 5 GB still require Cloudflare Support or your account team
  • Watch out for timeouts on very large uploads

This one's especially useful for infrastructure folks on Enterprise plans running applications that handle big file uploads!
