hash_in_range() now globally available for HTTP products

The hash_in_range() function is now available on all HTTP product plans globally, allowing you to hash fields into an integer within a specified range to select a portion of requests. This enables use cases like random request sampling and controlled rollout progression with custom metadata.

hash_in_range() is globally available for HTTP products on all plans. It hashes fields into an integer within a specified range. Use this result to select a portion of requests.

Use cf.random_seed to select approximately 10% of requests at random:

hash_in_range(0, 100, cf.random_seed) < 10

With Cloudflare for SaaS, use custom metadata to control rollout progression. Define rollout_pct as a custom key for each hostname. Set its value to an integer from 0 to 100. The expression selects approximately that percentage of requests:

hash_in_range(0, 100, cf.random_seed) < coalesce(lookup_json_integer(cf.hostname.metadata, "rollout_pct"), 0)

If rollout_pct is missing, coalesce() supplies 0. The rule then matches no requests.

For details, refer to the hash_in_range() function reference.
