About Prodia Imagine generating studio-quality images or videos—before your page even finishes loading. That’s the speed and power of Prodia. Designed for developers and creators, Prodia delivers fast, high-resolution image generation from text in as little as 200 ms, thanks to its globally distributed GPU network.

Prodia’s AI-powered image generation - via a fast and simple API - makes it easy to integrate high-quality visuals into apps, websites, or creative tools. With Cloudflare, they let users customize images based on attributes like time zone and location.

How does Cloudflare help Prodia become the fastest image generator in the world? Prodia leverages several Cloudflare products, including Workers, Pages, R2, and DNS. Monty Anderson, CTO of Prodia cited “speed, trust and ease of use” as the primary reasons for relying on Cloudflare.

Using Cloudflare at the edge, Prodia serves content fast, proxies API traffic securely, and scales AI image generation globally — without having to manage a complex backend infrastructure. It’s what allows them to run lightweight, global-first and low-latency services.

With Cloudflare Workers providing an edge-based, serverless gateway to their fast image-generation API, Prodia allows businesses and developers to integrate AI-powered image creation without exposing API secrets.

According to Anderson, Workers provides speed, trust, cost-effectiveness and ease of use compared to alternatives like AWS Lambda. Their official documentation features a Cloudflare Worker integration and provides a ready-to-use code template that shows how to call Prodia's API from a Cloudflare Worker.

For deployment of their main application, staging environments and documentation, Prodia relies heavily on Cloudflare Pages for quick and seamless deployment from GitHub in seconds.

For storing and transferring their large AI Model files, they use Cloudflare R2 storage. Monty stated it is the “fastest and most economical solution out there” as it comes with ZERO egress cost compared to other service providers with heavy egress costs. Cloudflare also provides a fast and painless migration from S3 to R2.

Prodia’s DNS is also fully managed by Cloudflare. They proxy their web traffic through Cloudflare’s edge network for performance, security, and global scalability — while keeping DNS features like MX (Google Workspace) in Cloudflare.

Why Cloudflare? What gives Prodia an edge over its competitors? It’s the speed that matters to them (ability to generate images within 190ms) and how fast they are able to move data across the internet – meaning that Prodia can quickly send and receive the information needed to generate and deliver AI generated images or videos to users with very low delay. It improves UX, reliability, scalability, and even cost-efficiency.

With Cloudflare’s distributed network, security services, cost-effective storage, and developer experience, Anderson views Cloudflare as a “foundational layer for ensuring fast and secure delivery, globally”.
