Cloudflare launches competition to build next Git platform on Artifacts

Cloudflare is inviting developers to build the next generation of Git platforms using Workers and Artifacts, a versioned filesystem designed for the agentic era. The competition challenges participants to rethink repositories, branches, and code review for environments where hundreds or thousands of agents work concurrently on the same codebase.

New Artifacts Capabilities

Since its launch, Artifacts has expanded with features to support programmable Git workflows:

• Deploy to Workers: Connect Artifacts repositories to Workers via Workers Builds. Pushes to production branches deploy Workers, while other branches create Workers Previews.
• Direct Management: Use an Artifacts binding in Workers to create, fork, and inspect repositories programmatically.
• Event Subscriptions: Subscribe to repository events (push, fork, delete) to trigger CI, code reviews, or deployments.
• Data Jurisdiction: Choose U.S. or EU storage locations for repository data.
• Metrics: View total operations, pulls, pushes, and error rates in the Cloudflare dashboard.

Competition Details

The goal is to create a platform that supports multiple agents working concurrently, rather than simply adding agents to existing Git tools. Submissions must include a 5-10 minute demonstration video, source code under a permissive open-source license (MIT, Apache, BSD), and running instructions.

Prizes and Deadline

• Deadline: October 14, 2026.
• Winner: The first-place team receives $25,000 in Cloudflare credits and invitations to the VIP speaker dinner at Cloudflare Connect in San Francisco.
• Finalists: Top three teams will fly up to two members each to San Francisco to present their projects.

Availability Artifacts is currently in open beta for customers on the Workers Paid plan. Billing for Artifacts usage begins on October 15, 2026.
