You can use

How is cache.put coordinated when two concurrent requests in the same worker attempt to update the cache for the same cache key? Specifically in the case when both requests only .put after a .match failed. I’m assuming since there is no mutex or other lock mechanism that it’s basically “last request wins”.

We are looking to move all of our serverless functions to Cloudflare workers, one of the things we are trying to understand is how to best structure our project. Originally we wanted to have a single Worker, but with our 20-30 functions they each need their own different CRON schedules, so it seems like we'll have to make every function its own worker. However, there is a lot of shared logic between all these functions that i'd hate to duplicate many times over and have to try and manage that. Is there any best practices on how to build a large set of workers that can share libs and also have CRON flexibility?

sort of, but in your case you might want multiple DOs for each cron to simplify the scheduling. although I've also seen a library that would help with this (can't find it...)

sathoro•9/18/23, 1:05 PM

can make your own scheduler with a single DO (but multiple instances) like this using

itty-durable

itty-durable

import { createDurable } from "itty-durable";

export class Scheduler extends createDurable({ autoPersist: true }) {
  constructor(state, env) {
    super(state, env);
  }

  create(name, doEverySeconds = 30) {
    this.name = name;
    this.doEverySeconds = doEverySeconds;

    this.setAlarm(Date.now());
  }

  async alarm() {
    console.log(`Doing ${this.name}...`);

    this.setAlarm(Date.now() + this.doEverySeconds * 1000);

    // do the thing...
  }
}

import { createDurable } from "itty-durable";

export class Scheduler extends createDurable({ autoPersist: true }) {
  constructor(state, env) {
    super(state, env);
  }

  create(name, doEverySeconds = 30) {
    this.name = name;
    this.doEverySeconds = doEverySeconds;

    this.setAlarm(Date.now());
  }

  async alarm() {
    console.log(`Doing ${this.name}...`);

    this.setAlarm(Date.now() + this.doEverySeconds * 1000);

    // do the thing...
  }
}

sathoro•9/18/23, 1:05 PM

and the DO can import whatever code it needs to from your codebase directly

sathoro•9/18/23, 1:06 PM

(

itty-durable

itty-durable

is not needed, it just makes the code way shorter)

Have you tried using the

Thanks @kian

one other quick question, I see on the community forums it is possible to route a Worker request to a specific colo. But I can't seem to find where this is documented

kian•9/19/23, 3:05 AM

It isn’t documented since it isn’t a feature that’s available

matt•9/19/23, 3:09 AM

ok thanks! for context, im trying to build something similar to durable objects I tried DO's but performance was not great from Australia, with each round trip to DO costing 200-400ms. My target roundtrip is 20-30ms

I read that each worker has a singleton in each colo with shared memory, having access to the routing would help me build something do-like. Is that a good enough use case to gain access to custom routing?

Unsmart•9/19/23, 3:30 AM

I’m not sure they even really offer that to enterprise customers beyond maybe jurisdictions but also using global scope is something suggested not to do

matt•9/19/23, 3:32 AM

It seems to be recommended here:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/limits/#memory

Use global variables to persist data between requests on individual nodes

matt•9/19/23, 3:33 AM

Is it possible to make auto-deployments only trigger when a pull request is made on a github branch? As opposed to on every single commit?

Izrath•9/19/23, 3:40 AM

Im building out a discord bot which requires a response in 3 seconds. My function will take longer than that so I need to execute a separate worker separately to run my function and update discord when its done. Is it do-able to call another worker and then return/end my current worker?

kian•9/19/23, 3:42 AM

You return a deferred response and use waitUntil to patch that message
