What is Cloudflare Mesh (Workers VPC network integration)?

Many organisations keep databases and internal services on private networks that the open Internet cannot reach, and linking those networks safely has long relied on virtual private networks, which extend a private network across a public one using encryption and tunnelling. Cloudflare Mesh is a private-networking product from Cloudflare that gives each enrolled server, laptop and phone a private network address (a Mesh IP) so they can reach one another directly. Cloudflare says it extended its Workers VPC service so that code running on Cloudflare's Workers (its serverless code-running service) can connect to a Mesh network; Cloudflare's documentation says Workers VPC, which it currently labels beta, lets that code reach private APIs, services and databases in other clouds or on-premise. Cloudflare introduced Mesh in a blog post dated April 14, 2026.
