Anthropic Partner · Cursor in production · Open-source-native engineering

You're the AI-native engineering consultancy.
The runtime under your pods is your IP, not Vercel's.

NEARFORM is an Anthropic + AWS + Google + Microsoft Azure partner — a senior-only engineering shop with AI-Native Delivery Pods running Spec-Driven Development. "Open source is the world's largest R&D engine." Cloudflare's developer platform is the natural runtime for the pods themselves: Workers + Workers for Platforms for per-client agent deployments, AI Gateway in front of Anthropic + Cursor, R2 for Spec-Driven artifacts, and Workers AI as the open-source-friendly model layer for the agents your pods build.

From the NEARFORM homepage
"We treat open source as the world's largest R&D engine — building on it, contributing to it, and using it to give clients access to battle-tested innovation at global scale. The result is faster development, zero vendor lock-in, and solutions built on foundations the industry trusts."
— That's the Cloudflare developer platform thesis verbatim. Workers, Pages, R2, and Workers AI are designed for exactly the "open source first, no lock-in" delivery posture NEARFORM sells to its clients.

NEARFORM delivers the AI-Native engineering. Cloudflare is the open-source-native runtime to deliver on.

The hardest part of selling AI-native engineering is the runtime conversation: where do the agents actually run, how do you avoid vendor lock-in, how do you give clients a foundation that respects their open-source thesis. Cloudflare's developer platform is the only major hyperscaler-class option built around exactly that posture — Workers run on V8 isolates (the engine you already use), R2 has zero-egress S3-compat, and the entire stack works without proprietary SDKs.

Cloudflare provides

The open-source-native runtime your pods deploy onto

Workers + Workers for Platforms run on V8 isolates — the same engine Node.js + Chrome use. R2 is S3-compat with zero egress. Vectorize is open API. AI Gateway puts Anthropic + Cursor + open-weight Workers AI behind one observable layer. Zero vendor lock-in is the architecture, not a marketing line.

  • Workers on V8 isolates — the open-source engine you use
  • R2 with S3-compat API — no proprietary client
  • AI Gateway in front of Anthropic, Cursor, open models
  • Workers for Platforms = per-client agent namespaces

Nine primitives, mapped to NEARFORM's AI-Native Pod delivery model.

Each maps to something published on nearform.com — Spec-Driven Development, the agentic IP, the partner stack, the Forward Deployed Engineering model. The partner-tagged primitives are where Cloudflare's existing partnerships with your partners give you commercial leverage already.

PRIMITIVE 01Anthropic alignment

AI Gateway in front of Anthropic + Cursor

You're an Anthropic Partner. Anthropic + Cursor are both verified on nearform.com apex TXT. AI Gateway sits in front of both: semantic cache, per-client attribution, BYO keys for enterprise clients, budget caps per Pod. The proxy makes your agentic IP cheaper to run and easier to audit for the regulated clients you serve.

AI GatewayAnthropicCursor
PRIMITIVE 02Pod runtime

Workers for Platforms = per-client agent deployments

Each AI-Native Pod runs agents in a client's environment. Workers for Platforms gives each client their own isolated Worker namespace — your proprietary agentic IP, deployed per client, with per-client keys, egress, audit trails. The "no vendor lock-in" promise is enforced by infrastructure, not by policy.

Workers for PlatformsPer-clientPods
PRIMITIVE 03Open-source alignment

Workers AI for open-weight models

Your homepage thesis is "open source is the world's largest R&D engine." Workers AI runs open-weight models (Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Whisper, FLUX) on Cloudflare GPUs — no proprietary SDK, no lock-in. Pods can choose the model per use case: Anthropic for high-precision reasoning, Workers AI for cost-controlled high-volume inference.

Workers AIOpen weightsNo lock-in
PRIMITIVE 04Spec-driven artifacts

R2 for Spec-Driven Development artifacts

Spec-Driven Development means specs, design decisions, agent prompts, generated code, and evaluation results are all artifacts in a per-engagement archive. R2 stores them at zero egress, with object versioning for full audit history per client engagement. Vectorize indexes them for "find me every spec like this one we shipped before."

R2VectorizeVersioning
PRIMITIVE 05FDE access

Zero Trust for Forward Deployed Engineers

FDE means your engineers are embedded in client environments, often touching regulated data (BFSI, Healthcare). Cloudflare Access gives each FDE identity-aware, audit-logged access to client systems — without standing up per-client VPN gateways. The compliance posture sells itself to BFSI procurement teams.

PRIMITIVE 06Agent durability

Durable Objects + Workflows for long-running agents

"Agents that survive crashes, hibernate when idle, recall what matters." That's the published spec for production agentic workloads. Durable Objects + Workflows give you the durable-execution runtime — single-writer state per agent session, automatic hibernation, replayable workflows — without standing up Temporal.

Durable ObjectsWorkflowsDurable agents
PRIMITIVE 07Hyperscaler alignment

Workers + Hyperdrive for AWS / GCP / Azure data planes

You're partners with AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. Clients keep their data planes on those clouds. Workers + Hyperdrive give Cloudflare-hosted agents pooled, low-latency connections into client data planes on any cloud — no per-cloud SDK, no per-cloud rewrite. The pod ships once, runs everywhere.

WorkersHyperdriveMulti-cloud
PRIMITIVE 08Inspire Sessions

Pages for client-facing demo deliverables

The "Inspire Session" on the homepage is a structured senior-led conversation + demo. Demos need to be live, branded, fast — and built quickly without a dev pipeline. Cloudflare Pages is the open-source-native static hosting layer for those demos. Same edge as everything else, no Vercel lock-in.

PagesDemosInspire Sessions
PRIMITIVE 09Sanity alignment

Workers for Sanity CMS edge delivery

Sanity is one of your strategic partners. Sanity content is already commonly served through Cloudflare Workers — that's a published Sanity integration pattern. Your Sanity-based delivery work for clients gets edge-resident performance + cache invalidation without per-client CDN configuration.

The economics of selling AI-Native engineering at margin.

Senior-only model + AI-Native Delivery Pods means NEARFORM's billable rate is high; the unit economics depend on per-engagement infrastructure cost staying low. AI Gateway + Workers for Platforms turn per-client cloud cost into a per-engagement attributable line — and let you build delivery margin into the pod, not back-of-the-napkin it after the fact.

A back-of-the-envelope, not a quote
Modeled across agentic Pod runtime + Anthropic inference + Spec-Driven artifact storage per engagement
SEMANTIC CACHE HIT RATE
50–70%
Spec-Driven Development means specs, prompts, and patterns repeat across engagements within a vertical (BFSI specs cluster, Healthcare specs cluster). High-cache LLM workload by structure.
PER-ENGAGEMENT ATTRIBUTION
100%
AI Gateway gives per-client, per-pod, per-spec cost attribution — the data your CFO needs to confidently price fixed-fee engagements instead of T&M.
PROPRIETARY IP MARGIN
Protected
Workers for Platforms namespaces mean your agentic IP runs in your control plane, not the client's. The IP stays NEARFORM's — the client gets the deliverable, not the source.
The real win is the fixed-fee engagement model. Today AI Pod cost is variable — Anthropic spend fluctuates with engagement complexity. With AI Gateway, every engagement has a predictable per-spec inference cost line, which lets NEARFORM price fixed-fee instead of cost-plus. That's the margin lever the senior-only model needs to actually clear.

4 industries, dozens of pods, hundreds of clients. Workers for Platforms is the boundary.

BFSI clients need SOC 2 + GDPR + DORA. Healthcare needs HIPAA. Retail cares about peak-day uptime. Telecommunications needs deep network integrations. Each industry vertical has different audit cadences and data residency models — and Pods deliver across all four.

Per-industry pods + per-client tenancy, sketched

Each NEARFORM industry vertical gets its own Worker for Platforms namespace. Each client engagement inside gets its own isolated tenant. Same edge, same observability, region-bound data residency for EU + US clients.

Why this is the right quarter to start the conversation

You're already an Anthropic Partner. AI Gateway is the lowest-friction observability + cost-control upgrade available on top of an existing Anthropic relationship — no model migration, no prompt rewrite, just a header change. Per-Pod attribution from request one is what makes fixed-fee AI-Native engagements defensible.

Open source is your published thesis. Cloudflare's developer platform is the only major hyperscaler-class option built around exactly that posture — Workers on V8 isolates, R2 with S3-compat API, no proprietary SDKs. The runtime conversation maps your homepage to architecture instead of marketing.

The 5-partner stack already covers everything except the runtime under the pod. Anthropic for the model. AWS/GCP/Azure for the client cloud. Sanity for content. Cursor for engineering velocity. The missing piece is where the agentic IP itself actually runs — the per-client namespace, the inference proxy, the spec artifact store. Cloudflare fills that gap without overlapping any of your existing partners.

Worth a 30-minute conversation with the Delivery Pods team?

The interesting conversation is which of these is closest to your current sprint: AI Gateway behind Anthropic + Cursor, Workers for Platforms for per-client agent deployments, Workers AI for open-weight model serving, or Pages as the open-source-native Inspire Session demo platform.
