I see that 1M list requests are included in the paid plan. I also see that a list request has a default of 1k items, if I make a single list request and it returns the default 1k items does this count against billing as 1 list request or am I billed per key returned (1k)

1 list request, regardless of the amount of keys returned

zehawk•6/30/23, 2:01 PM

Yup, I meant my worker of course.

docy•6/30/23, 4:39 PM

Let’s say I have a namespace with keys mapping to stringified objects, would it be worth it to shorten the keys of said objects to save bandwidth/storage costs?

docy•6/30/23, 4:40 PM

e.g changing a key like "releaseDate" to "r". there are going to be quite a few entries so I’m not sure if this would help at all

Unsmart•6/30/23, 4:47 PM

I mean with millions of items you will probably save a bit but it would make it really annoying dev wise so I wouldnt do it.

Original message was deleted

docy•6/30/23, 4:50 PM

Well I mean all it takes is a simple remapping function to map the stored shortened keys to readable keys

docy•6/30/23, 4:51 PM

I just want to know if I’m overoptimizing here, I mean it’s going to contain every movie/tv show on IMDb so

Ye alright, thanks

Does KV perform good when used via the HTTP API?

vassbence•7/1/23, 6:59 PM

If I'm working in an environment where I can call the HTTP API or call a Worker which then uses service bindings which will be faster?

Hello, I’m Allie!•7/1/23, 7:48 PM

For production apps, I would generally recommend using a Worker, since the Worker KV API can be cached locally, while(iirc) the HTTP API has to hit core

Erisa•7/1/23, 7:50 PM

The API is also rate limited

reavatar•7/2/23, 11:21 AM

I have next.js site on cloudflare pages. I want lowest latency. Each request is essentially a read + write both. Wondering what to use cloudflare kv or upstash redis.

Each key is associated to a user, so I only need read/write from closed point to user. Users are situated globally.

Unsmart•7/2/23, 1:39 PM

Durable objects would be the fastest if the user is only reading and writing their own key and no one else is

Phatso•7/3/23, 12:14 AM

Could someone help me understand some stuff in this part of the docs?
https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/kv/#parameters

Question 1:

Due to the eventually consistent nature of Workers KV, concurrent writes can end up overwriting one another. It is a common pattern to write data from a single process via Wrangler or the API. This avoids competing, concurrent writes because of the single stream. All data is still readily available within all Workers bound to the namespace.

Does this mean "concurrent writes to the same key"? Or just concurrent writes to any keys in general?
Can I store two values with different keys at the same time? One immediately after the other?

Question 2:

Writes are immediately visible to other requests in the same global network location, but can take up to 60 seconds to be visible in other parts of the world. Refer to How KV works for more information on this topic.

This section is a bit vague at best, and at worst, conflicts with the "How KV Works" page.

On the "How KV Works" page it says:

Initial reads from a location do not have a cached value. The data must be read from the nearest central data store, resulting in a slower response.

Implying that, so long as its the first Read in the location, it will reach out to the central data store and get + cache the value.
However, based on how the API docs are written, it implies that it could take up to 60 seconds for a "Write" to be visible globally.

Which is it?

Question 3:

Will a .put.put ever "fail"? If so, what does it look like?
i.e. what if the data or the key were too big? Are there other reasons it could fail not listed in the docs?
How do I catch and handle these errors?

On the .put.put docs it says:

This method returns a Promise that you should await on in order to verify a successful update.

Does this mean I should expect an error if it fails? Or set it up with a .catch.catch or something?

Chaika•7/3/23, 12:39 AM

Does this mean "concurrent writes to the same key"? Or just concurrent writes to any keys in general?

Same key, you can write to different keys, not affected by that

Which is it?

It's both, I don't see how those conflict, the first statement is a bit vague though. Writes update local colo (location) cache. If you write to ORD (Chicago), any KV Requests for that same key in Chicago will see the updated key instantly. If you had requested that key in EWR (Newark) recently enough that it is still in cache, it can take a minute or so to update to that new value, depending on when you fetched it. If you had never fetched that key from LHR, then a request frrom lhr would hit one of the central data stores and see the updated value instantly.

Note recently there was an update to decouple the background refresh rate from the cache ttl: https://blog.cloudflare.com/faster-workers-kv-architecture/

Question 3:

I believe yes on network exceptions and such edge cases where it just fails to write/confirm entirely, as well as usual validation of too long key/value. The method returns a Promise<void>, it would just throw an error like Type: Error, Message: KV PUT failed: 414 UTF-8 encoded length of 1064 exceeds key length limit of 512.KV PUT failed: 414 UTF-8 encoded length of 1064 exceeds key length limit of 512.

Thank you, that was very informative.

My clients are getting 404404s when trying to access data that was just created.. but only sometimes.
Trying to track down what I've done wrong.

Phatso•7/3/23, 12:59 AM

And if they retry the same request enough times, eventually they find it

Kkian Do you have code to reproduce it?

Phatso•7/3/23, 6:06 AM

Yes, now I do. I submitted a support ticket about it - would it be better to share my test project/info here?

Erisa•7/3/23, 9:20 AM

Hey @phatso are you able to confirm the ticket number you raised? Wondering if it's the one I was on just now, or another

Hey

do you have a link to the message you were referring to, so I can understand the context?

docy•7/3/23, 3:12 PM

is there any way to get keys in bulk? googled but couldn't find anything

something like this:

env.NAMESPACE.get(['foo', 'bar', 'bang'])

env.NAMESPACE.get(['foo', 'bar', 'bang'])

kian•7/3/23, 3:13 PM

Not with the Worker bindings, no

docy•7/3/23, 3:13 PM

why is it available over http api but not worker bindings?

kian•7/3/23, 3:13 PM

I don't see it in the API either

kian•7/3/23, 3:14 PM

There's bulk writes and deletes, but no gets.

docy•7/3/23, 3:14 PM

oh yeah i misread

docy•7/3/23, 3:14 PM

that's weird

docy•7/3/23, 3:14 PM

wonder why

eg_scl•7/3/23, 5:26 PM

I'm struggling with using kv, are there any good whole project examples. I see in the docs there is a tutorial for rust, but not ES. I'm just getting null when I call env.NS.get('whatever') and I'm sure it's got to be a setting so I'm looking for a whole working project to compare too. Thanks.

kian•7/3/23, 5:51 PM

https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/kv/#reading-key-value-pairs

```
get
```
```
get
```
will be
```
null
```
```
null
```
if that key doesn't exist.

eg_scl•7/3/23, 5:58 PM

Thanks @kian - thing is, I can get the correct value from the command line "wrangler kv:key get --namespace-id=### "{key}" but it just doesn't in the worker.js. My binding has the same preview_id as I used in the commandline call. so I'll keep trying.

kian•7/3/23, 6:04 PM

Is it a published Worker?

kian•7/3/23, 6:04 PM

Wrangler dev defaults to local development, so it has no access to your real KV namespace.

eg_scl•7/3/23, 6:40 PM

@Kian oh. I did not see that mentioned in the docs. I'm using local. So is there a local kv to setup and use?

SOLVED: I just needed to add --remote to the end of 'wrangler dev --remote' now I can read KV from localhost.

Workers KV is faster than ever with a new architecture

With the new architecture powering Workers KV our service will become faster and more scalable than ever. We have significantly reduced cold read probability, and enabled KV to serve over a trillion requests a month

Cyb3r-Jak3•7/5/23, 12:12 PM

What do you mean by updating KV? If you have an existing worker that has an existing KV binding then it should continue to function. With the maintenance, there might be issues with creating a new worker, kv namespace, or binding the namespace to a worker

Cyb3r-Jak3•7/5/23, 12:19 PM

My understanding is those operations should not be affected
