Instead: what about Postgres do you actually need?

MMatt Silverlock Instead: what about Postgres do you actually need?

I asked because of Postgres management is sometimes frustrated and there is no ideal managed or self-hosted solution. Drop-in replacement will be great for many applications, something like Supabase, where the legacy application could be connected directly to the DB and changes are monitored in the realtime, with the ability to track changes for example.

Broadcasting real time changes doesn’t require Postgres though — D1 could certainly do that at some point

EvanPiro•8/28/23, 5:36 PM

How unreliable is D1 currently? I'm currently developing an application that will be live in the next few weeks and am strongly considering using D1 for the backend and dealing with alpha issues as they come.

Matt SilverlockOP•8/28/23, 5:44 PM

It’s alpha, but… we’re pretty close to beta. Most folks don’t encounter any hard errors: we’re addressing the remaining transient ones we see. Lots of folks running it day to day. But I have the responsibility of saying “beta”.

EvanPiro•8/28/23, 6:00 PM

That's great to hear! I'm trying to move all my go-to solutions from AWS to Cloudflare. The next one on my list is Cognito. Do you have a guide or some docs on such a migration / feature parity with AWS?

Matt SilverlockOP•8/28/23, 6:02 PM

What are you using Cognito for? For internal users: Cloudflare Access (see the public docs) is the go-to. We don’t have an “external” user-facing auth product but Clerk (clerk.dev) is fantastic.

EvanPiro•8/28/23, 6:06 PM

I'm using it for exactly what Clerk does : ). Thanks for the pointer!

EvanPiro•8/28/23, 6:11 PM

Is there a solution similar to AWS CloudFormation where I can export / import / diff all of the config of my cloudflare account? Ideally I'd like to have all the settings in my account as versioned YML and rely on CI to sync changes.

EvanPiro•8/28/23, 6:12 PM

Apologies if this is getting off topic

Unsmart•8/28/23, 6:15 PM

Cloudflare doesnt really have any custom thing for that. Best bet is either terraform or pulumi... pulumi is probably easier to use but not sure how much it supports

Rabid•8/28/23, 7:33 PM

What kind of reasonable limits do you forsee? I know the limit is going to increase from 500 MB in beta, but do you see this increasing to something like 1 GB? 10 GB? 100 GB? I don't need it to be enormous, but just want to make sure I'm not going to kneecap myself in the future if my app gets a decent amount of users.

you can self-hosted D1

Hello, I’m Allie!•8/28/23, 9:55 PM

I mean, if you are going to self-host anyway, then you might as well use a DB built for larger sizes

Hello, I’m Allie!•8/28/23, 9:56 PM

You might be able to push 100 GB through local D1, but why risk it when you can just spin up Postgres or MySQL

Rabid•8/28/23, 10:21 PM

Yeah if I was going to self host I would just use postgres, or just stick with RDS

Unsmart•8/28/23, 11:00 PM

jared•8/29/23, 4:13 PM

Hi. Is there a way to call external endpoints (or Cloudflare Worker APIs) on D1 table changes (insert, update, delete)? Something like Firebase Functions for Firestore or Webhooks for Supabase (for those that are familiar).

How can I use this to watch for changes in the D1 tables? To be more clear, the goal is that every time there are inserts, updates, deletes in my tables, a function should be automatically triggered to send the corresponding data to an external endpoint.

Mia•8/30/23, 9:24 AM

i suppose a workaround would be to have the code that's making the changes fire a webhook to another endpoint

Any plans to expose rows read/written + time on console queries?

Mia•8/30/23, 9:26 AM

not a super useful response if you dont have control over that code

itsmatteomanf•8/30/23, 9:26 AM

I presume there is no way to see query history with stats, right?

MMia not a super useful response if you dont have control over that code

itsmatteomanf•8/30/23, 9:27 AM

D1 can be controlled only via Workers in your account, so something you control is always in the middle.

Mia•8/30/23, 9:27 AM

fair enough

Mia•8/30/23, 9:29 AM

i finally found a project to actually use d1 with so im rly excited

Thank you! Might be cool to have, but not sure if SQLite has it, the full create table exposed.

Reading this blog: https://blog.cloudflare.com/d1-turning-it-up-to-11/

It mentions:

Importantly, when we enable global read replication, you won’t have to pay extra for it, nor will replication multiply your storage consumption

Importantly, when we enable global read replication, you won’t have to pay extra for it, nor will replication multiply your storage consumption

Does D1 read globally? Or is it still region based?

The Cloudflare Blog

D1: We turned it up to 11

We've been heads down iterating on D1, and we've just shipped a major new version that's substantially faster, more reliable, and introduces Time Travel: the ability to restore a D1 database to any point in time.

Does D1 support (or will) streams?

Unsmart•8/30/23, 6:42 PM

d1-database

Sameer Ali•8/30/23, 6:45 PM

I think that is different question than mine. I am trying to see if i can stream the response from SELECT query directly to client instead of loading the result in worker memory. let's say i have a query that returns large amount of data, which is over the worker memory limit of 128MB, streaming the response without loading into buffer would be only way to workaround worker memory limit.

Max (@rozenmd)•8/30/23, 7:08 PM

That's another thing we're looking at

but main priority is d1-database

Sameer Ali•8/30/23, 7:12 PM

Thanks. It is must thing to have for many use cases. But it can wait.
