Cloudflare puts an end-of-life date on its old Workers KV API — and two sunsets land today
A quiet night with one new entry: Cloudflare will stop supporting the legacy /workers/namespaces/ Workers KV API routes on 15 October 2026, a path rename that breaks automation still calling the old URL. The monitored feeds turned up no product shutdowns and no dates moved. Two items already on the board reach their date today — the ChatGPT Atlas browser and Rails 7.2 security support.
Another quiet night on the monitored registry: the fifty-four tracked sources produced no new product or service shutdowns, and no dates moved. Discovery surfaced one deprecation worth a full entry, and it is the buried-in-the-docs kind this calendar exists to catch.
Cloudflare retires the legacy Workers KV namespace API routes. On its API deprecations page, Cloudflare says that after 15 October 2026, requests to the old /accounts/{account_id}/workers/namespaces/* routes will no longer be supported. Workers KV itself is not going anywhere — the routes are moving to /accounts/{account_id}/storage/kv/namespaces/, and Cloudflare says the two sets are interchangeable: same parameters, same responses. So the fix is a one-line path swap. The catch is who has to make it: not dashboard or wrangler users, but CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and custom scripts that hardcode the old URL and will simply start failing on the date. If you use Cloudflare-managed DNS, the same page carries a sibling date worth noting — the Foundation DNS boolean setting stops being returned or accepted by the DNS settings API from 23 November 2026. Full detail on the entry.
Every entry with a sunset date inside 30 days was re-checked against its primary source tonight; all ten are unchanged.
Landing today
Two items that have been counting down on the board reach their date today, 9 August:
- ChatGPT Atlas browser — the standalone AI browser stops working today; anything not exported (bookmarks, tabs, history) does not carry over, and the capability folds into ChatGPT itself.
- Rails 7.2 — end of security support. Nothing stops a 7.2 app from running, but security fixes stop being backported; the path back onto a supported line is an upgrade to Rails 8.x.
Still counting down
- Relay — 15 August, the app shuts down.
- Google Content API for Shopping — 18 August, end-of-life.
- OpenAI Assistants API — 26 August, removed from the API.
- OCI DevOps OL7 build runners — 28 August.
- GitHub Spark, Flowise, and the New Relic drop-filter-rules API — all 31 August.
Further out, OpenSSL 3.0 (7 September), the new Cloudflare Workers KV date (15 October), the OpenAI Sora 2 video API (24 September) and the Gemini 2.5 model family (from 2 October) are on the calendar too. The full list, with countdowns, lives on the calendar.
