## What Jamie wrote

Cloudflare continues to impress me with the breadth and depth of their offerings. This new open-source Mastadon server is another great example of that.

> Wildebeest serves two purposes: you can quickly deploy your Mastodon-compatible server on top of Cloudflare and connect it to the Fediverse in minutes, and you don't need to worry about maintaining or protecting it from abuse or attacks; Cloudflare will do it for you automatically.

The whole article goes into detail on how they created the solution using many different components of the Cloudflare [Supercloud](https://blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-to-the-supercloud-and-developer-week-2022/). Incredible mount of functionality in there, and a powerfull add to the Fediverse stack.
