Ashley highlights several Cloudflare products including Workers (serverless functions), D1 (SQLite database), KV (key-value store), R2 (object storage), Durable Objects, and AI offerings like Workers AI and AI Gateway. The conversation covers developer experience, using AI assistants for coding, and the benefits of Cloudflare"s approach to simplifying cloud development.
